And, for someone who never was accused of holding her tongue, Boxer feels unburdened to say whatever she thinks about the “Trump enablers” with whom she used to work. After four decades in politics, she remains connected to the fight against President Trump, without the day-to-day grind of being a legislator. Boxer has no plans to serve as an armchair quarterback about how her close friends make their decisions. “I’m going to play by the same rules as the Koch brothers,” Boxer said in a reference to Charles and David Koch. Boxer sounds almost like Trump in describing Issa — “very mean-spirited person” — and notes that he tried to challenge her in 1998 but lost the GOP primary.
