And there was this one guy, his phone

And he said, yeah. My donors threatened to
pull my funds because there are people here
that don't align with my donors' vision and
ideas. And I said, well, so, Hanulah, you're
kind of on the center left. Wouldn't your
donor want them to be here so you
could, like, have good conversation and maybe have
some influence? And he said, the problem is
my donor not only funds me, a center
left, but he funds the extreme right in
my community. And I said, wait a minute,
