"Independent" roving reporter.

A slightly less abhorrent version of James O'Keefe.

Likes to wrap his questions in long speeches filled with right-wing talking points.

Depends on funding from anti-progressive sources.

I think Goode's, followed shortly by Pretti's execution knocked over trump's three-card monte table, and as many people as able are going in after the fact to discredit, trivialize and/or minimize the impact and consequences trump's being faced with from these protests.
