Kyle Schwarber is a hero. He hit four homeruns for the Phillies in one game tonight. He's a racial equality activist and pro-COVID vaccination. Kyle Schwarber is as American as they come and he would never show up to the White House to meet you, Trump. So don't invite him.

The cowardice of mainstream media is sickening. But as someone who was a correspondent for Inside Edition (a show under the CBS News umbrella), I know the kind of pressure they are under to submit to corporate overlords. Time for journalists to dig into their inner warriors and SPEAK TRUTH TO POWER.
