Reports say Lori Gayne admits she was the author of a Facebook post made under a different name at the 2016 Republican National Convention.

Gayne posted a photo of law enforcement officials in Cleveland. The description said, "Our brave snipers just waiting for some n***** to try something. Love them."

I take it the media will demand Trump apologize for this?

A safe policy is to never write anything on social media that you wouldn’t say through a megaphone in front of a big crowd. It’s like when lib politicians go overseas and talk sh/t about America to international journalists, for some reason they think no one back home will hear about it.

She may have said ‘naturists’.

Or ‘nudists’.
