YouTube video by Forbes Breaking News 'You're A Left-Wing Hack!': Karoline Leavitt Explodes At Reporter During Interchange About ICE

Karoline #Leavitt seems to think that the plural of 'bias' is pronounced like 'crises' or 'analyses'. 😆 It's bias love, not biasis! She fits right in with the thick lot in the White House.

Edit: pleas

Oh crap. Please ignore my please. It's pleas.

What language did #Maduro and #Flores speak in court today when they entered their please? Spanish or English? Anyone?
