What Joy Ann Reid just said about Ailes...

The only MSNBC host willing to call it like it is this morning.

Ailes built an empire by creating a fantasy world
for white, conservative men, where women are agreeable sex objects and POC are predators.

Interesting timing. The Vice President filed FEC paperwork yesterday for his own PAC

Pence Creates PAC ahead of 2018, 2020 Elections
by VAUGHN HILLYARD

Vice President Mike Pence is launching his own PAC — the "Great America Committee" — to aid his own future political interests, including helping Republican candidates ahead of the 2018 midterms.

The group, which filed paperwork with the FEC on Wednesday, will be able to use the funds to cover the costs of the vice president's travels on Air Force Two to campaign on behalf of GOP candidates across the country.

This is the first time a sitting vice president has formed such a separate political arm. Former administration officials have used either party or campaign funds to cover travel costs.

A source close to the Vice President said the organization will "provide resources for the Vice President to actually support candidates who are supportive of the president's agenda."
