65. She's right. And so is Rachel, who also refuses to replay the daily "Trumper Tantrums" on her show

You don't reward that kind of behavior by giving it attention. The media created this mess by giving that egomaniac all the free press during the Republican primaries. They've either learned nothing, or they just can't resist. Either way, FUCK THEM.

Nancy is right to call them on their complicity.
