“I thought about the rally in Green Bay when he asked me if he would talk. There were those who said: ‘You know, people throw you dagas anyway, they will really throw you dagas.’ So I thought about it.
“There has been a hard line in the sand, and you are on one side or another. I thought about whether you persuaded five voters, and who knows, can be a difference of five votes. Then, I would be out of me if I did not take advantage of that.
“It was not my cup of tea. I am not a public speaker. I am certainly not a political public speaker. But it was an honor that asked me. And I agree with everything that President Trump says or does?
“But from a common sense perspective, do you really think that boys should compete in girls’ sports and that is fair?

He said he also asked if the supporters of the left thought if the country’s direction was really something they wanted to support more. He said he could not be one of those followers who rested in his laurels, waiting for things to improve.
“Some of the things you are, on the left, you say it is normal, you never look in the mirror when nobody looks and it is only you and you go: ‘Are we out of our damn mind?'” He said. “Then, I felt like the conservative crowd, in general, sits in our hands, and I think it was sometimes as if they expected people to do the right thing and make common sense decisions.
“Then, you feel in your hands and expect that. And it does not happen, and continues to get worse. And the left has no problem talking. They do not shut up, and they blame it all others. And I am thinking, ‘you know, as, if we do not start defending and defend ourselves, we must not have to have to do it, it is what it is, if we do not begin to take a position, we will dominate.”
Favre said he had no plans to run for a position, but he was not going to mitigate his voice either.
