When I asked her where it came from, she told me it was from the Palmer Report. I had to explain to her that the Palmer Report is the left equivalent of Faux Nooze. I actually think it's a little dangerous, and I wish DUers would get out of the habit of posting news from Palmer as if it's gospel truth.
