I never feel offended. I just figure out how to move forward. I have to respect everyone in this room, as they are elected officials. Somebody elected them to be in this room. Our expectation, as people living in this country, is that it wouldn't be the case that racism and discrimination are at play here. I would definitely hope not. My mind isn't going there. My mind is focused on who in this room will help us in the future. That's what we're going to be working towards. The commentary here is momentary, although I will say that I ended my five minutes by asking you to please ask me questions about India, because I watched what happened over the last two days, and I don't think enough questions were asked about India by certain individuals in this room, specifically.
