Wow! That is so nuanced!

Person covering cheato's lie rally tonight had some really breaking news to make everyone stop and think.

Seems she asked a cult member at his hatefest the usual will you still support cheato if he's convicted question and she is really scrambling to find something interesting in his answer. She was blown away because although he said he would still support cheato, he added THAT ALL POLITICIANS HAVE FAULTS!

OMG, that puts a whole new spin on it. Mind blowing. She was very impressed with this nuance, and so was Alex Wagner.

Still, we must perservere.

The only reason they get away with that crap is because we let them get away with that crap.

Actually, it was the job of this "journalist" to ask that question, especially if she was going to feature this inane answer and praise it.

Murder is the unlawful killing of another person. He expressly said “murder”, as opposed to “kill” or “shoot” or “commit homicide.”
