On the PBS Newshour tonight, Judy Woodruff asked Kellyanne Conway why Individual 1 mentioned Corey Booker, the only black male Senator’s name, and instead of answering the question, she said, “Senator Tim Scott is also black,” and Judy said, “you’re right, I meant only black male Democratic Senator.” And Kellyanne said, “I haven’t talked to him about it.” The entire interview was infuriating.

So little water,” he said at the December rally in Milwaukee. > > At a meeting with business leaders also in December, Trump claimed that people were flushing toilets 10-15 times, because of regulations. > > > “We have a situation where we’re looking very strongly at sinks and showers and other elements of bathrooms where you turn the faucet on — and in areas where there’s tremendous amounts of water, where the water rushes out to sea because you could never handle it, and you don’t get any water,” the President said during a roundtable with small business leaders about deregulatory actions. > > > > “You turn on the faucet and you don’t get any water.
