"We have a newcomer in the White House and look where it got us"

“What you said, Pete, as you were campaigning through Iowa as three of us were jurors in that impeachment hearing, you said it was exhausting to watch and that you wanted to turn the channel and watch cartoons. It is easy to go after Washington, ’cause that’s a popular thing to do. It is much harder… to lead. And much harder to take those difficult positions. Because I think this going after every single thing that people do ’cause it’s popular to say, it makes you look like a cool newcomer. I don’t think that’s what people want right now. We have a newcomer in the White House and look where it got us. I think having some experience is a good thing.”
