I appreciate the communication strategy from Gavin Newsom's office, which that it created a permission structure for Democrats to punch back in a way that seems to matter.
But I will never vote for him. He's totally disqualified himself with shit like this. My god, dude. What the fuck.

The thing is, some people can make mistakes, get things wrong, be careless, etc. But that’s not what Jennings did here. Jennings knowingly, purposefully and intentionally lied to utterly distort what was said, which CNN pays him to do every day. CNN is the enabler of this.

we should want to make it undeniable that there is no choice but to end ICE, prosecute its officers for lawbreaking, and fundamentally rethink immigration enforcement.

Also: the sentiment that law enforcement should not be in a position where they have to endure disrespect is craven, servile, and profoundly un-American. Saying is a relatively rare burst of truth from Trump,. People who agree show their ass as born bootlickers.
