Opponents say

•     Sarah Huckabee Sanders urges: "Look, the American people elected a fighter. They didn't elect somebody to sit back and do nothing." She added that Trump "fights fire with fire."
•     The first lady’s communications director, Stephanie Grisham stated: "As the first lady has stated publicly in the past, when her husband gets attacked, he will punch back 10 times harder.

Proponents say

•     Sponsor Rep. Jamie Raskin argues: “If you look at the record of things that have happened since January, it is truly a bizarre litany of events and outbursts. Every human being is allowed one or two errant and seemingly deranged tweets. The question is whether you have a sustained pattern of behavior that indicates something is seriously wrong.”
•     Darren Soto of Florida, told NBC: "Given Donald Trump's continued erratic and baffling behaviour, is it any wonder why we need to pursue this legislation?"
