Reminder: Susan Page hosted a party for Trump appointees.

[ForgoTheConsequence]

Taxpayers paid to set up a “Girl’s Night” honoring a Trump official who’s worked to block women from health care.



In the fall of 2018, Stevens organized a “Girl’s Night,” the records obtained by Congress show, in Verma’s honor at the home of USA Today journalist Susan Page. Stevens described the event as a networking opportunity for Verma, and invited media personalities and other prominent women. Taxpayers paid Stevens nearly $3,000 to organize it.

If you're wondering why she is giving Pence carte blanche, there is your answer.

[Me.]

1. Using Taxpayer Money

I see I'm repeating

[qazplm135]

2. She's asking good questions

So I'm fine with it.

[ForgoTheConsequence]

3. And Pence isn't giving her an answer.

No accountability, it's an embarrassment.

[qazplm135]

12. He

Won't answer regardless

[ForgoTheConsequence]

14. Then he needs to be called out.

That's what a moderator does.

[qazplm135]

15. Which does what?

Nothing.

[ForgoTheConsequence]

16. "Sir, please answer the question presented to you"

A debate is a competition. It makes him look like an even bigger assclown.

[qazplm135]

17. Yeah no

Either people care or they don't. Her saying that ain't changing anything

[ForgoTheConsequence]

18. It's not about "changing".

It's about holding people accountable. Have you taken a high school debate course? There is ALWAYS a follow-up. Raddatz and Stephanopoulos said the same thing. You need to follow up.

[qazplm135]

19. And he would have

Taken the follow-up and not answered that either.

Should the entire debate be her following up?

Normal debate rules don't apply to two inveterate liars.

[RelativelyJones]

4. I think Page has done a good job so far.

[ForgoTheConsequence]

5. She's getting walked all over.

And getting answers to questions she didn't ask. She's doing terribly.

[RelativelyJones]

7. I don't see it that way at all. She's jumping in when his time is up and making him look like an ass

[ForgoTheConsequence]

13. "I would like to give Senator Harris time to respond but not at such great lengths"

Seems fair...

6. She works for Gannett.

Which in my experience is a RW media company that has bought up a lot of local news stations.

[NorthOf270]

8. Yup

Turned it off. As long as Pence politely violates rules she'll let it go.

[Cha]

9. Fucking "media" Biased Monitors.. I hope Kamala

puts them both in their place.

[yardwork]

10. Disgusting!
