Author of 'Crude' Op-ed Yanked from Boston Globe Defends Sarcastic Take on Unaccountable Trump Officials

From the article:

"I don't understand what is so crazy about suggesting that the people responsible for ruining lives and tearing families apart and losing fucking track of children should be held somewhat accountable."....

We need a real orator, a clever linguist to 'debunk trump' ... Nancy Pelosi comes close ... Dem's, hire some witty, eloquent, bad ass writers!
