President Trump gave him a spine.
In light of the St Louis prosecutor being allowed to smell up the place like a meth addict in a Body & Bath store, I figured the MO governor and AG were hiding in a backyard shed with Jeff Sessions.
A real profile in courage there Guv-NOT. Gutless, feckless and hiding in the weeds until it is safe to comment is piss-poor “leadership”. Missourians should be embarrassed that this weasel is their governor.
