Agreed. This is something they would gladly say in public.
After Obama’s presser in Turkey, I can’t imagine what they could say that would get them in trouble. It was obvious to anyone that the best way to interpret his statements was he didn’t mind that 129 people were killed in Paris, that his policy was working, and more people would necessarily die before the end, and the real villains in the world were Republicans. He didn’t even mask it. So what is Huma going to say to anger people?
