The pathology of privilege means one cannot/ will not take no for an answer in any arena. Why? because it is a limit. Any rule, law, or norm is seen as a violation of said privilege. #PathologicalPrivilege means one compulsively defies any boundary: moral, sexual, legal.

Why don't other reporters call out the Bozo Fascist ON THE SPOT when he insults women journalists? Sure, you'll get banned from the White House. But so what? That might give you a chance to do some actual reporting, rather than shouting questions at this moronic, decrepit misogynist.

Fun facts about Colorado Attorney Gen Phil Weiser, who is standing up to Trump with clarity & integrity:
1) He was a Supreme Court clerk for RBG - and Byron White.
2) He is running for Governor of Colorado.

Tina Peters is in Colorado state prison because she broke the law and was convicted by a jury of her peers. In Colorado, no one is above the law. I’m not afraid of Donald Trump or his political pressure—I will always stand up for the rule of law and fight for what’s right.
