Happy Halloween

We all knew it was just a matter of time. The “we” are folks like Commentary who have called out the GOP haters.  The demonization and hating of U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi by the GOP. This is what you get. Phony arse GOPers who are reaching out to Speaker Pelosi. Donald Trump’s punk kid…
