For all those who thought Jen was bad, she was a 100 times better than KJP. She was so rude to Peter y/day. She goes on and on and still says NOTHING. Word Salads from this Administration.

She doesn’t ever answer a question! Have you noticed?

[robertfischer]

Congress passes a budget, sends to the Senate, it is up to Senate and president to approve or disapprove. Not approved, it's on them, not the house

[lunte]

[jimedward]

As usual nothing is said and we have been very clear about this and have spent more than the last administration

[seankiziltan]

She needs to just give up and tell the truth.

[fredgullett]
