53. Awful "concession" speech

Thu Mar 7, 2024, 04:09 AM

Mar 7

I really liked at first, but then the little white boards began to give one hit wonder vibes . And then she went on to endorse Nina Turner. Nina friggin Turner. Wth?

And then saying the election was rigged, is just too much. Go Schiff, bye bye Katie.
