You’re saying, about yourself, that, you know, ‘Hey, that’s a terrible thing to be.’ It’s not a terrible thing to be. That’s why we fought. That’s what we were fighting for.”The next four years will change America forever. But HuffPost won't back down when it comes to providing free and impartial journalism.
