Boy they're slow...Fox Noise started blaming her hours ago...nt joeybee12 Apr 2015 #6

You know with Fox News that's to be expected Hutzpa Apr 2015 #9

MSNBC's Morning Joke & Mika this am were all over her-she didn't approve police cameras, appalachiablue Apr 2015 #12

She will face worse criticism than any white mayor has ever received. kwassa Apr 2015 #32

Absolutely! I'm wearing my Maryland scarf today in solidarity. Proud to be a Marylander! Liberal_Stalwart71 Apr 2015 #35
