BOSTON — Upon exiting a Democratic caucus that focused on how to react legislatively to the new administration of President Donald Trump, House Speaker Robert DeLeo told reporters at one point during the media scrum that he has heard a common refrain relayed by lawmakers to him from their constituents: " Thank God I'm from Massachusetts."
"In terms of what they see going around the country and especially in Washington," the powerful Democrat from Winthrop specified on Wednesday in recapping the meeting.
