Harass women, bully a vet, get invited to the White House.

What a great example we're setting right?

But then again nothing this administration does surprises me anymore. Calling this "utterly appalling" is an understatement if there ever was one. Nathan Phillips deserves better.

It’s wrong and the collateral damage is a group who will soon be adults.

And in these days, that's enough.

Speaking about the nature of fake accounts on social media, McKew told CNN Business, "This is the new landscape: where bad actors monitor us and appropriate content that fits their needs. They know how to get it where they need to go so it amplifies naturally. And at this point, we are all conditioned to react and engage or deny in specific ways. And we all did."

Ingraham is pushing it, trying to make it into something. Whether or not the idiot decides to meet with them has yet to be determined.

I just think it's funny how people are now believing something to be true because Laura Ingraham says so.

I just hope someone at the WH has the good sense to dissuade the Rump from taking the bait.

...what’s really nauseating to me is how quickly and uncritically “reasonable” liberals and the non-Fox media have leapt on the “we feel sooooo guilty over having assumed anything bad about this mob of white teen males in MAGA gear” bandwagon. “Self-gaslighting,” as a friend has called it.
