The most disgraceful human to ever lead this country. A great American nightmare. The GOP put all their eggs in one basket and now look at the mess they have made. And for what?

Your show stood up to the insanity of voting for monsters who brought back the measles to endanger American babies and then writing a book to excuse your lack of care. He said- I’m not worried about your daughter. Tillis is just another clumsy GOP tool. Not cool. Not cool at all. Thanks again.
