Finally. Rachel Scott. HERO! She’s a reporter with guts. Guts enough to call to account a fascist and convicted criminal and rapist. It took a woman to get the job done. And done right. An African American woman at that.

Where have all the male reporters gone? Long time passing?

“One hundred and forty police officers were assaulted that day [January 6, 2021],” Rachel said. Their injuries included broken bones, at least one police officer lost an eye, one had cracked ribs, two smashed spinal discs, another had a stroke.”

Rachel asked, “Were the people who assaulted these 140 officers ... patriots who deserve pardons?”

Rachel Scott did an amazing job. We're so used to seeing the media lob soft balls at DonOld and he still rarely answers their questions. But he also doesn't lose his cool like he did with Ms. Scott.

Imagine DonOld on stage with Kamala for 90 minutes and her harassing him the entire time. I could see him losing it like the politician did in Network that held the baby in front of him for protection.

If he can't handle a journalist's basic question, how is he supposed to deal with world leaders? He's just going to say, ”Oh that's such a rude question." Wimp.

It wouldn't be harassing him. It would be calling him out for every lie he utters.

She's a very experienced prosecutor, well trained and comes naturally to that skill set.

Of course he's terrified.

It would be like my imagined Myopia Firing Squad, only verbal, with him virtually running back and forth across the stage with nowhere to hide.

Rachel’s best shot was when she graciously held out her hand to shake his and thanked Mr. Trump for coming. Perfect insult.
