This was the worst interview ever. Dana allowed Tim to duck all the questions without holding him accountable. If you cannot get the answers to your questions, politely end the interview. It was hard to watch.
Boycotting CNN for promoting Trump and fascis
Expose the Republicans taking blood money from the gun lobby.
Scott Jenning's true expertise is as a gas lighter extraordinaire. There's no way in hell that he believes half the crap he says. The garbage he spews with a straight face would make Pinocchio blush.
softball questions
Bash is not just her name! I quit listening when Madame Speaker stopped talking
Keep trying Dana. Nancy is used to rude people like you.
Manchin is a cosponsor on the FOR THE PEOPLE ACT!!
I LOVE NANCY PELOSI!! YOU GO LADY! GET EM!!!
I'm sick of Pelosi
Hate crimes were UP last year, NOT DOWN!!!
Ya just keep pushing that "progressive wing". NEWS FLASH!! THEY DIDN'T WIN EITHER!!
Again with "but".
Again, she starts her sentence with "But..."; I don't think she understands what he just said.
why is Dana usurping the place of a GOP negotiator instead of listening to the expert guest? She misses the point, intent on "drilling down" on behalf of plan opponents, forcing him to repeat himself.
where is Jake? ☹
Dana Bash? ☹
McMaster, "I don't want to get political." Goes about bashing China for the virus. THAT is part of the problem! Bash the media. Then go about pushing a Republikkklan agenda! BOOOOOO!!
STFU Manchin!!
WHY would we listen to a Republikkklan?! They wanted to impeach Hillary when she held no public office!!
