Over the Labor Day weekend, where our President continued to barely be seen and not be heard from, our strategic rivals are strengthening their reach and relationships. We have lost our moral and economic leadership; we have been diminished.

KKKaroline Leavitt refers to Dr. Monarez as “Ms. Monarez.” For women with a doctoral degree (not an MD), this is extremely offensive coming from a woman whose biggest accomplishment seems to be suckling from the teat of a weird man-baby with cankles and horcrux hands. #sexism #tradidiots
