Notable Quotes:
- Angie Sullivan [02:50]: "She is a liar. It is so shocking to me. These people will get up and debase themselves and sit there and act like, well, you're not doing this for your constituents.

Notable Quotes:
- Angie Sullivan [04:51]: "You were the governor of South Dakota. You maybe have, like, 2 million people in the whole state. You run around killing dogs, cosplaying all of these different roles.
