“I’ve been described as too aggressive,” Edwards said. “I don’t know what that means when it comes to fighting for your community. I see things and I call them as I see them. I think there’s little tolerance in the political frame for people who are direct and say what they mean.”
Sounds familiar..... Here's another gem.
“I thought the Republican Party was full of dog whistles but the Democratic Party has a foghorn,” Edwards told reporters after that remark. “As a sitting member of the House as the ranking Democrat on one of our committees in the House, as the co-chair of our steering and policy committee sitting at the leadership table with Leader Pelosi, as former chair of the bipartisan women’s caucus, a lawyer: How dare they describe me as unqualified?”
