Here's video of journalist Grant Stern being dragged out of Kevin McCarthy's press conference by police officers, for asking him why he opposed the January 6th Commission. McCarthy slumps his head down and looks away, like the coward he is. Let's make this viral. via @meidastouch

Is it Kern County - Bakersfield police? Or did the Capital Police do this?

Mind boggling if it took place in DC.

Not surprised if it was a Kern county.

.a controversial question...yet other reporters just stood there rather than walking out in protest in support of their journalistic colleague they chose to remain silent. What is the latin ... "Qui tacet consentit [silence gives consent.] So much for freedom of press.

Please do not use "female" as a noun for a human woman. It is considered very sexist, and is used by the Alt-Right and Incels to demean women, and reduce them to their reproductive and sexual functioning.

Thanks.

Right after the politician let us all know that we don't do that sort of thing but Cuba! Same politician lets the crickets chirp and tumbleweeds roll on by when any mention of people he wants to ignore for pooping the capitol.
