– I'm Carl Sciortino, and I'll never forget that conversation with my dad.
– That's me!
– Where I had to come out and tell him...
– Wait for this...
– ...that I was a Massachusetts liberal.
– And he's proud of it!
– Dad's in the Tea Party.
– Damn right!
– [laughs]
– It was bad enough, him picking on the big banks and corporations in the legislature.
– They weren't paying their fair share in taxes.
– And he wrote the buffer zone law!
– To protect women entering abortion clinics from harassment.
– It's gone all the way to the supreme court!
I was kind of proud of that.
– But here's the one that drives him crazy.
– He wants to go to Congress to take on the NRA and the Tea Party!
– I won't give up on an assault weapons ban.
– Or universal background checks, or banning high-capacity magazines...
– There are some things you don't stop fighting for.
– [sighs]
– Also, the right to choose, equal pay for women,
and equal rights for... well, everybody.
– He's been like this for 35 years.
– That's why I approve this message!
And I still love you, Dad.
– Me too, son.
