Mockery reveals them

Sat., Oct. 13, 2018

At a political rally in Mississippi, President Trump mocked Christine Blasey Ford and the crowd laughed in approval. Do Trump and the crowd have no sense of human decency?

It was not fake news the country saw but a fake president — a fake person. And the people who showed their approval by laughing are, as Clinton said, deplorable.
