I knew her dad while I was still working (well, when he was her dad, Bob Tur, before transgender life was embraced).

I am SO impressed with her work, her quick wit, her excellent questions, and her incisive comments - like the one just today wherein she posed a subtle quip at the end of a segment regarding trump's constant lying and his defenders claiming it's merely "being sloppy&quot about whether her parents would have called her "sloppy" when they and she both knew she was lying.
