There will be no nose holding. I will never ever be for her. I cannot in good conscience support someone so completely slimy and morally bankrupt, someone who would say this about a man who has worked his whole life for others. He has more integrity in his pinky fingernail than she has in her whole body, as for John Lewis, what does it say for him that he was willing to go along with this?
