Former Newsweek reporter McKay Coppins was caught on a hot mic trashing Mitt Romney at a live event on Tuesday. Moments before Romney's appearance Coppins, who currently works for BuzzFeed, predicted there was "a 40 percent chance that he says something stupid." At first it wasn't known who made the remark, reported by Huffington Post's Jon Ward, but Coppins actually came forward, on his Twitter account, to admit he was the one who made the liberal bias-revealing "snide comment."

If Karl Rove had a son, it would be McKay Coppins.

If the fringe outnumbers the “regulars”, than who is really the fringe?

[Jack Hammer]

His favorability rating is at 40% - that’s a LOT more than the “fringe” no matter how you define the term.

Meanwhile Black Lives Matter is the democrats’ conservative icon the model of human grace. It would seem BLM are the NAZIS when one in their group emptied 15 bullets in a police officer.

To compare Trump to a MAZI means this reporter does not know what a NAZI is. NAZI guards used to grab babies by the leg and smash their heads against the walls of train boxcars to kill them because they were not allowed in concentration camps.

Those were NAZIS.
