In his pespeech, right. He talked about the values of the Republican Party, being about inclusivity. He said to folks believe in this Convention Hall if you dont believe the values of lincoln and his party. That was a real moment for him. We saw an evolution in a different way for the republican p party, and he of course endorsed donald trump, who didnt necessarily stand for those values. I met him in his office, put on my best blazer, and to me he was the embodiment of power in washington but also someone who could connect with an average person. Is that the blazer youre wearing . But as somebody who covered him, he could be really he could give you that glare and a couple of words when you wrote something he didnt like.

To know bob was to know the truth of that statement. Bobs friendship was a blessing that enriched my life beyond measure.
