Pete Hegseth invited me as Convention of States President onto the set of Fox & Friends for my reaction to Hillary Clinton’s slanderous remarks against Convention of States. In case you missed it, while on her “What Happened” book tour, she alleged that through gerrymandering, Republicans plan to elect Republican governors, and call a constitutional convention. Clinton suggests that supporters of the Convention of State Project advocates for limits on the First Amendment, no limits on the Second Amendment, as well as limits on criminal justice.

As I wrote on The Hill, Clinton — though she’s an attorney — gets this all wrong. And she knows it:

Hillary Clinton’s criticism are misleading. Convention of States Project (COS Project) is not advocating for a constitutional convention. The COS Project advocates for an amending Convention of States by invoking Article V of the U.S. Constitution.

A constitutional convention and a Convention of States are two different things. In a constitutional convention, the delegates would get out a blank sheet of paper and start all over. In America, we have a strong, robust Constitution that has served us well. The Founders realized that there may come a time when the Constitution may need to tweaked or amended. The Founders realized that there may come a time when Congress could become corrupt and unreliable and unable to make necessary changes. So, they gave us another way of proposing amendments — one that does not require the permission of Congress or the president. Thus, two-thirds of the state legislatures can call a Convention of States to propose amendments to the Constitution.

Hegseth asked me about her misleading comments over the weekend. Here’s what I said:

I get why Clinton is worried. Over 2.2 million people support our effort, 12 states have passed the application (on our way to the required 34), and we’re well on our way to holding the first Convention of States.

As I said, you can a lot about people by their enemies. As Hegseth said, “If Hillary Clinton thinks you’re a threat, you’re a good guy to me.”
