Honoré is amazing as usual here, says Wolfe should be run out of Washington, has no business being in charge of Homeland Security, and says the federal forces in Portland are a lawless group who wear militarized uniforms to intimidate people, to look like warriors, and aren't good representatives of law enforcement.

We know Hayley Barbour stole funds mean to rebuilt MS after Katrina - $780 billion - and people in MS STILL have sewage running down the middle of the street, using outhouses, no running water or electricity.
Can't get people used to a simple standard of living, now can we?
