133. Memo to Cali Democrat:
Sun Jul 19, 2015, 03:44 PM
Jul 2015

I have referred to no one in my entire life as "ratfuckers," and I have never referred to Hillary Clinton as "whore."

I AM a woman. I haven't alienated myself. I have done nothing to alienate any other minorities, either.

This OP is pathetic.
