21 years ago I visited Dealey Plaza and the Sixth Floor Museum in Dallas for the first time.

So some folks are teed off because a shock-value comedian joked about molestation and pedophilia, but are completely ok with voting for a molester and pedophile for president. Got it. #NikkiGlaser #SNL #NBC
