You should treat him as a pariah and the total Trump ass kissing POS that he is.

That ex-weekend warrior clown car driver is an insult to New Zealand, and should be treated as such. He got his ass whipped by Elizabeth Warren and the racist slime ball enjoys calling her Pocahontas.

Let the Māori people know Scottie Brown delights in making fun of native peoples ancestry.

. . . at minutes 1:29 thru 1:32, you'll notice how, when the intern reaches for the microphone, Acosta prevents her from doing so by knocking her arm away and saying, "Pardon me, mam...."

13. He did not "knock her arm away"- she had thrust her arm under his hand and then she removed her arm

She kept her arm in place near the mike after her action caused him to lower his left arm touching her arm, but in no way does it appear to me that he "knocked her arm away" since she did not immediately move her arm away.

Distraction from the GOP's devastating loss in yesterdays elections.

Distraction from his obstruction of justice intentions - Sessions.
