I wondered if she had had an epiphany.

Then, she goes on Ruhle’s show this morning spouting a bunch of RW crap about Ds needing to be centrists, etc. She and Stephanie got major pushback from Jason Johnson and the other D guest (who had been spokesman for HRC).

has been a “piece of work” for a long, long time. Mute her whenever possible. Stephanie gets carried away occasionally.

Stoddard parcels out right wing talk points under the guise of offering dispassionate analysis.
