Quote of the Day
“Right now they think they’re bulletproof and the president has their back with any crimes they commit. It won’t always be that way. I’m sure Richard Nixon’s goons felt that way in 1973.”
Kirschner, speaking to Raw America about potential congressional investigations of Republicans that are in charge now if Democrats regain control of Congress.
