The vast majority of the American people agree with me and many others. You don't simply repeal the Affordable Care Act without a replacement. Republicans have had six years to come up with a replacement. They got nothing.

I met Rosa Parks when I was 17. I met Dr. [Martin Luther] King when I was 18. These two individuals inspired me to find a way to get in the way, to get in trouble. So I got in good trouble, necessary trouble.

I think right now, the focus has got to be on how we hold [Donald] Trump accountable.

You have to have the capacity and the ability to take what people did, and how they did it, and forgive them and move on.

That's where the outrage should be, not old news, but the fact that we are preparing for the transfer of power. and we have been working with President [Barack] Obama, hand in glove, and I think that they - including the president - should step up and get his people in line and tell them to grow up and accept the fact that they lost the election.

In spite of all of the things, the issues, that we may be confronting today, I'm very hopeful, very optimistic about the future.

It's going to be very difficult. I don't see the president-elect [Donald Trump] as a legitimate president.
