The doctor, a no-nonsense lady in her late-30s, did make a few comments during two breaks, and though she missed most of the Democrats’ Awards Show in Chicago, she made one surprising remark. She was disgusted that Kamala bypassed Gov. Josh Shapiro in favor of “Snitch When You Can” Tim Walz because he’s Jewish (no one admits that outright... Читать дальше...
