What kind of retaliation is she afraid of? Personal, or against her state?

Who's "all"? Just you and the Democrats? Surely it can't be all of the other 50+ Republicans, some of whom seem to support the President's program in detail. So is it a few, or most, or nearly all?

I tried and failed to find a full transcript of her speech. I'd be interested in knowing the context. Was it prepared remarks, or an answer to a question?


> What kind of retaliation is she afraid of? Personal, or against her state?

Afraid of losing their jobs. She specifically is one of the least afraid. It is her GOP colleagues that are afraid.

> some of whom seem to support the President's program in detail

Maybe because they are afraid?
