@tamarakeithNPR Want to know why NPR left socials in 2023? Because they are always getting called out on their lies. https://t.co/EHzST77w0u 10 views · 0 likes · 0 reposts · 0 replies Open on X →

Nick Shirley was correct. NPR was wrong. They were off by only 1,000%. $110,000 to $110,000,000 Lie loudly then correct quietly. The Legacy Media is the enemy of the People. https://t.co/eY4husjOLA

I feel lucky to have served in the White House press corps with David Jackson. He was a legend and it isn’t fair that he’s gone so soon. https://t.co/gIyOlolk76 2.1K views · 12 likes · 0 reposts · 2 replies Open on X →
