Feb 2016

a writer who perpertrates a falshood, and when confronted with the facts, obnoxiously doubles down. oh a writer who just happens to be the partner of someone who used to work for clinton at state.

and we are not supposed to call him out because he happens to be gay and black?

wow, the depseration of the clinton campaign is creating a deafening roar.
