This isn’t new—they plant “victims” all the time.

Heck, the questions selected by aides from twitter, facebook, etc. were probably submitted by other aides.

I can’t imagine why the media would suddenly get their dander up over the practice.

News outlets themselves often go to activist organizations for quotes and present them as if they came from ordinary Joes on the street.

What I’m sick of is the Democratic party finding the very worst of America, some down-on-their luck, out-of-work, eating cat food out of a dumpster, sob story, loser to try and push their phoney, power grabbing - money stealing, generational theft program that won’t do a damn thing to help you, me or the so-called hard-luck story person anyways.

Here’s Alice she’s been out of work for 37 years, eat’s garbage out of the town dumpster and can’t afford the $6,000.00 week medical bills to pay for her illness treatment and will most likely lose her eyesight and use of her limbs and control of her bowels unless we pass this program.

THIRD YORKSHIREMAN:
Well, of course, we had it tough. We used to 'ave to get up out of shoebox at twelve o'clock at night and lick road clean wit' tongue. We had two bits of cold gravel, worked twenty-four hours a day at mill for sixpence every four years, and when we got home our Dad would slice us in two wit' bread knife.

FOURTH YORKSHIREMAN:
Right. I had to get up in the morning at ten o'clock at night half an hour before I went to bed, drink a cup of sulphuric acid, work twenty-nine hours a day down mill, and pay mill owner for permission to come to work, and when we got home, our Dad and our mother would kill us and dance about on our graves singing Hallelujah.

I hate to sound like a cynic but does the women even have cancer?

I genuinely hope so.

“I hate to sound like a cynic but does the women even have cancer?”

Mark Levin went over this in his show yesterday. IIRC it’s a cancer recurrence, but she’s receiving assistance from several sources to obtain treatment. The lack of insurance and a job did not preclude her from health care treatment for cancer. I don’t know whether she qualified for Medicaid or not.
