I wish, when MJ had said he hadn’t seen the speech, MD had replied, “Well, Number 2 [pause] in the line of succession, maybe you should have. Why don’t you watch it and get back to me if it’s something you’re proud of.”

Omigod this loon. What he’s seeing on Fox “News” is years old footage of Portland during the pandemic and probably footage that’s not Portland at all! Freaking Rupert Murdoch & co have a lot to answer for.
