If you haven’t watched Jimmy Kimmel’s interview from last night, you should.

The Trump administration’s goal, along with many of its allies, has been to destroy the resistance. But there’s one thing they’ll never understand is we defend our own.

Blanche should be disbarred let alone be allowed to run or even work at the DOJ.
