Just watched #LosFrikis and chatted with the filmmakers.

It’s a beautiful film, only playing at the AMC in NY and LA.

Markwayne Mullin on Hegseth’s drinking:

TAPPER: Drinking at 10 in the morning, that’s a drinking problem.

MULLIN: Yeah & there’s probably a lot of media that has a drinking problem too.

TAPPER: A drunk reporter who is drinking at 10 AM…is not in charge of the 3 million person defense department.💥
