She also said, which I thought was actually as striking that America shouldn't settle for just being 10 percent better than garbage, which again, would be - just a few years ago, it would have been an unusual thing for anybody to say about the country they represent in the national legislature. At one point, it would have been unusual for a Member of Congress in either party to say that the United States was fascist.
