doronofircast I’ve been suspended over the words B*tch & F*ck but DonTheCon violates rules without consequence. This is why he is the person he is. He never faces consequences DeleteFacebook & we may have to DeleteTwitter as well

Doesn't really help their case when it comes to political bias which Trump accused them of. Given video footage of a man being murdered is on Twitter this is pretty pathetic.

Because it is. He is the cause of the increase in hate crimes.

Great click bait.... You almost had me convinced that you cared.

Who the hell is Salena Zito and why have you elevated whatever stupidity she's spewing? Is she someone? Zito ignores the large of people who went to college but whose working class parents sacrificed so we could get an education. We have WC class relatives we admire and love. How dare Zito equate ignorance and hatred w/WC values. Don't look now but Trump is losing white WC women.
