“The American people demanded a part in the democratic process of formulating foreign policy,” Grenell said. “Once they got it, they won’t ever let it go. Ever.”
Grenell also discussed the need to hold state and federal lawmakers accountable for their actions. He said if they don’t deliver on their promises and they can’t be recalled or have their terms limited, the Republican Party needs people to stand up and run against those lawmakers.
