mr. trump said during the campaign that you disagreed with enough to the point where you wouldn't back president-elect trump at the time. in fact, i think you voted it was a protest vote for evanr since the election? i just wonder how that went. i mean, mitt romney might be secretary of state and no one said more about, you know, president-elect trump than he did. so i figure it's bygones be bygones. people vote their conscience sometimes. what was it specifically the most -- the things that you were most -- disturbed you the most? >> look, i expressed concerns at the time. i registered those concerns. i have spoken to a lot of people in the trump world since then. i had a good conversation with mike pence. i had a good conversation with kellyanne conway a few moments ago and weeks ago. i look forward to this administration and seeing what they will do. and this administration will fight for a constitutionally limited government, they'll have no greater ally, no more vociferous advocate than me. >> in other words, you didn't think he was a true republican. >> always limited government. i'm behind something willing to fight for the constitution. >> but a vote not for trump may
