"A lot of people could be hurt but what happened tonight. A dangerous man is being elected president. A lot of bad things could now happen. People we love and care about are very scared. And I’m not going to brush that aside as if it’s meaningless. But at the same time, it’s easy to give in to hate, to despair, to sadness and fear. And that doesn’t feel right either. Because I want to teach you that when you’re faced with a bully, you don’t run away and you don’t hide. You stand up and you fight for what is right."
