Bwahahahaha! Cry me a river! Hey San Francisco, the country doesn’t like your airhead Congresscritter. Why don’t you stop embarrassing yourself, and vote for someone with intelligence? After all, you keep holding yourselves out as the smartest people in the World.
Because it takes someone with intelligence to vote for someone with intelligence. That lets the S.F. tokers out.
Thank God that annoying wench is going to be out of the House.
