“The first responsibility of any just government is to defend the defenseless.”

“We call religious liberty our first freedom, for a reason of course, because it's listed first. And that's because the founders understood: your right to believe and to act upon that belief is essential to who you are as an American, but even more fundamental than that, who you are as a human being. And so it's critically important to protect it.”

“I look forward to supporting business by eliminating governmental red tape that stifles our economy and cripples our business owners.”

“We haven't had to defend anything to anybody.”

“I never want to be in a position where I have to defend my material. It's too subjective. It's for other people to defend or not defend.”

“I would defend, just so long as I play.”
