You can call it hypocrisy. I call it moxie. And by the way, demonstrators were not arrested or deported, and the National Guard was not summoned (as far as I know)."
"Let's take the president's complaint that he read "someplace" that the networks "were 97% against me." Some might see weakness in that, or thin skin.
