The hate, or what people have to say, it does not affect me at all. It actually motivates me to support him more. And it's gonna motivate all of us to support him more. We're not going to let them get away with bullying him and you know the smear campaigns. It's not going to work. Okay. He has a lot of force behind him, and God is protecting him.
