FULL VIDEO - The Boone stump is great and worth a watch. Especially at 34:00 when he talks about going up against Trump.
VIDEO: Of Pete in Boone talking about Trump: "Let's consider what is being alleged here -- it is that the American president engaged a foreign leader with a goal of interfering in the next American election... It's beyond laughing or crying. It is a betrayal of the United States of America."
