I've spent the past week revising & revising (& still revising) my Valentine's poem (& she'd better love it), so have been especially tuned in to meter.

I think he worked at CNN, I may be wrong. His spiel was the same, bashing undocumented workers. It turns out his daughter had an undocumented worker tending her horses. They are all hypocrites.

In this case, winding up that jackass is the point, and as long as that happens, George can send them fingerpaint drawings if he wants to.
