Are you as smart as a beltway DC reporter?

Let's see. If Kevin McCarthy says he won't discipline Santos because the voters voted for him, what should your response be? I know what my response would be. I would say, "but the voters were LIED to. That's the POINT."

No one said that. They just let it go, with all of them asking repetitive questions over and over again about what Kevin was going to do.

They are NOT journalists, but propaganda machines.
