If President Obama can force us to buy health insurance, President Trump can encourage us to buy his daughter’s products.

Nope!

They lost the right to demand any oversight of malfeasance, when they allowed Clinton to run here family foundation, which brought in hundreds of millions.

Then as soon as she lost the election, within moments everyone backed out of the foundation.

The woman is a massive crook, and the Democrats on Capital Hill gave her a complete pass.

Kelly didn’t stand to gain anything personally.

Clinton did gain millions personally. She paid for her daughter’s wedding out of the foundation funds.

Kelly made an innocent mistake in a moment. Clinton made criminal acts over the period of years. She did it over and over again. Democrats in Congress couldn’t have been less interested.

Is Chaffetz a friend of his fellow Utahan, Egg McMuffin, Evan McMulluin, whatever the hell his name is?

Yet, Hellary is still walking around the woods free as a bird. Demoncrats’ hate is at the expense of the country. That’s what Trump and every conservative should be tweeting.

To what end? We saw what happened. It was a flippant remark. She has been counseled that she can’t do it. What else is there? What does Chaffetz want!?

But Ivanka’s clothes are wonderful quality, and Obamacare is junk.

I own an Ivanka blouse, it’s lovely.

These people are fools. Furthermore, Why not do the same for the First Ladies being “dressed” by Ralph Lauren, etc.?

Really, Trump is having trouble with all of his admin messengers at this point—Spicer, Conway, and Trump himself have all stepped in it in different ways.

They should have taken Laura Ingraham up on her offer to serve in a communications, with a seat at the table, role.
