Bennett is known as being quiet i mean, softspoken. Hes a quietly confident person who does not need to yell to make his point. And to see him out there with no notes, to see him out there with no staff, to see him speaking from the heart like that in a way that absolutely blew up, all the more powerful because of his because of his personality. Because of his quietness. And thats what makes it the hollywood moment. It is the mr. Smith moment. Because he is, as you put it, mildmannered. When you were talking about it. And softspoken.

Racist photo from his medical School Yearbook in 1984. The photo shows one person in black face and the other in a ku klux klan robe. Northam is taking responsibility for the photo but didnt specify whether hes the guy in black face or wearing kkk garb. So far northam has apologized but said he will remain in office.

Impeachment, im beginning to pursuing the collusion narrative think in retrospect that it was and asserting it notwithstanding probably inevitable. A lack of evidence i think we were going to get impeachment really has hurt the attempt to one way or another from the now impeach on ukraine because a lot of the public says wait a democrats who are really intent minute, we heard all this before on it and even after the mueller and we cant trust these people because theyre pushing they report failed, they were going to look for something else. What do you think . Pushed falsehoods on us before. I think democrats have done well, that was really the some damage to themselves. Key. They could be running against in when the Mueller Report came over, i think some of us out there we waited more than two the Election Year trumps years and we thought okay, now personality and his policies. That would be legitimate. We have an a answer, its time to put this behind us. They elevated it to this but n
