Ted "THE TERMINATOR" Lieu to Little Marco: "I'm going to show you a video that shows you just lied to Congress."

[Miles Archer]

4. I'm a former Californian. What I believe most of us will tell you is...

...that you can leave California, but California never leaves you. Never. It's the same thing as my being born in Massachusetts and being a life-long Red Sox booster. When I see a Californian like Ted Lieu, it reminds me of the great pride I had in being able to call myself a Californian.

Republicans like to paint a picture of California in the most simplistic and negative terms. But it is NOT EASY to live there. You have to WORK at it. And you do it because it's worth it.

So I'm not some knuckle-dragging cousin dater who's formed my opinions by whatever Fox told me to think. I was there. And Rep. Lieu doing something like this is like watching the Red Sox knock one out of the park.
