TWEETS OF NOTE

• (@dbongino) I’ve been inside the presidential bubble for two presidents, a Republican, and a Democrat. I’ve never seen a display of callousness and arrogance like I saw yesterday in Maui with Biden. It wasn’t just bad optics, it was evil. It’s rare to see a display so devoid of common decency, even for someone as malicious as Biden. Tweet.
• (@PamelaUnplugged) A $400,000 salary for napping on the beach and reducing the greatest country in the world to a debt ridden, crime and drug infested, lawless, God hating, perversion loving police state, while taking payoffs from foreign countries.
