59. Do you understand that you give Wolf enormous power

Mon Apr 30, 2018, 09:15 AM

Apr 2018

more so than any comedian who has "gone low."

You compare it to violence in the streets, you say that she single-handedly, with one comedy routine, has set back the pro-choice cause.

And in case you care to even read the article in the OP, you will see that many, many, many are applauding her.

Give that a try, would you? Take a break from talking about how awful and "low" and catastrophic one single woman is with a blistering rebuke of the press and our president, and actually read what you are rebutting.
