...at this point.

It's a question meant to reveal the heartlessness of this administration to any and all who are willing to listen. It gets right to the heart of the issue.

She’s not going to feel empathy unless it pays well.

Sadly her children will be taught the “Christian virtues” that run in that family.

who valued obedience to laws, even unjust laws, over simple human decency.

Which is precisely how she comes off here.

A December 2007 Newsweek article reported that shortly after the animal’s death, the local prosecuting attorney wrote a letter to the Arkansas state police asking them to investigate the case to see if the two young men involved had violated state animal cruelty laws. The state police did not look into the matter, and no charges were filed.

Her entire attitude trying to defend the indefensible was haughty, ignorant and insulting. She's the Tokyo Rose of Press Secretaries. May her legacy haunt her.

Her comment was particularly nasty. I hope Acosta finds an occasion to flay her alive.
