She’s right. The journos would be upset if their cannabis dispensaries were locked down.

I never see any questions, reports or stories about mosques being open or filled with muzzies elbow to elbow.

And it’s happening.

I loved todays press conference.
Kayleigh gave the WH press corps some homework.

Will they ask the questions on their Sunday shows?

Correct. The US media is like The Ministry of Truth in Orwell's 1984. Only much much worse.

What part of,
