So who is paying Reuters? 5 people to write this hit piece? Must be expensive. Either they are getting money from the DNC or the same people funding these violent left wing groups.

They’ve finally figured out that Stephen Miller has had their gameplan figured out from the get-go and knows exactly how to combat it. The man’s like a hungry fox with access to the hen house!
