"I mean, who was he talking to? Cletus the Slack-Jawed Yokel?"

RepublIcans may have a slack jawed yokel or two, but democrats have an iron fisted lock on the illiterate. Besides, this comes from people who can’t tell the difference between “attended college” and educated

Someone fromthe DeSantis camp should create a ‘help wanted poster that says ‘help wanted- position- intern. Low pay, high risk. Apply at Joe Scarborough’s office’
