Folks, I know it’s easy to get excited about all the polls showing Democrats ahead and feel like this election is a done deal. But we can’t take anything for granted. That’s why I’m urging you to take part in a No Kings early voting event today where you live. www.nokings.org

Everyone, we don't need to analyze this. Its simple and clear - Zacharia is yet another WH chaos agent who started her job with an obscene lie. Reporters should not ask her questions. They should just laugh mercilessly at her and TELL her what they'll be reporting, based on actual, reliable sources.

What's the point of asking a chaos agent like her questions in the first place? You have other, actually reliable sources. Use those and TELL her what you'll be reporting. She's not a serious participant in our national discourse. Take the harm she causes seriously, but don't take her seriously.

When Trump calls for violence, he's not being figurative or fanciful. He actually wants his enemies to be shot. What happened to Renee Good, Alex Pretti, Lorenzo Salgado Araujo and Johan Sebastian Duran Guerrero was the natural outcome of regime policy. More will die until the tyrant is stopped.
