I’d like to ask her why she is married to the piece of %$#@ George Conway who is trying to take down Trump and how it is that any conservative is supposed to believe that she takes any of this seriously given that situation.

Wants to talk about the seriousness of the charge, instead of the facts. Where have we heard that before?

When has a member of the Fake News Media ever refrained from driving someone in Trump’s administration out of town on a rail by not identifying him or her?

About as likely as Trump supporters wearing MEGA hats strolling through Chicago's Black South Side at 3 AM...

I always thought the reporters had their recorders on at all times, no?

Weijia Jiang is a Trump hater. She serves no useful purpose.

I think “Kung Flu” is outdated. I hear lots of people calling it Flu Manchu.
