Rep. Brandon Gill brings up all of Katherine Maher's old tweets claiming that "America is addicted to white supremacy" and supporting looting, reparations, and BLM.

This woman is the blonde version of Robin DiAngelo.

Maybe it would be easier to list the seven Tweets she still stands by.

If you were really making an effort plausibly to pass yourself off as a "public broadcaster" representing the full range of the American people, you would never hire Katherine Maher or anyone like her. Mark has loathed PBS and NPR ever since he set foot in America, way back when, even before Charlie Rose began strolling among his interns naked: He has always believed they should command not a penny from the public purse, and be forced to rely entirely on their awful pledge-drives - as Mark used to say on Rush, sustaining membership includes the Charlie Rose PBS bathrobe (cord not included).

The last time public broadcasting surfaced as a political issue was in the first presidential debate of the 2012 election, when, to everyone's surprise, Obama's minders forgot to switch him on before the show, and an animated Romney never seen before or since decided to go for not only Big Bird but also the PBS moderator.

Eww.

Katherine Maher is an extraordinarily poor liar, albeit a remarkably persistent one.

The small things are not unimportant – and not just because, when "small" is defined as anything under eleven figures, "small" is a big part of the problem. If Americans can't muster the will to make Big Bird leave the government nest, they certainly will never reform Medicare.

We said.
