2. Michelle Wolf spoke truth to power and the powerful did not like it.

Michelle Wolf is absolutely brilliant. My favorite jokes were the call and response "How broke is he?...." She outed the Washington press corps' collaboration, corruption and enabling of fascism and corruption. They were shocked to be revealed for what they are doing.

The fact that people like Chris Cillizza, Mika and Maggie Haberman are calling Michelle a bully show just how out of touch they really are. They are using the word "bully" completely incorrectly. which falls in line with the tenets of propaganda straight from Goebbels. Tell a lie often enough and people will believe it. Cillizza, Mika, Joe, Milbank and Haberman etc..are all collaborators, not journalists.

I have edited to include the correct Goebbels quote:

“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State."

Thanks for your post.
