It's the victim who should apologize

5. Well Welcome to Trumpworld mom

Her fellow republicans treated her just like everyone else they come in contact with. It is different because it is her this time though.

I do not condone being nasty to a child in any way, but a snake is going to be a snake. The nasty people at Fox are going to take any opportunity to find something they can talk about other than Trump. There are only so many times they can repeat the email and Seth Rich stories so they are scraping the bottom of the barrel for anything to fill air time without talking about the real issues. I am expecting MUCH worse to come out of them.

6. When a horse "takes a dump" Tammy Bruce is what comes out.

8. Pence apologized. So did Fox. Sort of

the Fox apology was along the lines of "had we known he was autistic, we never would have said that." I guess it's OK to mock children in Fox world.
