Saying the quiet part out loud.

Deputy SOS Christopher Landau was greeting the group of 59 Afrikaners who arrived in Washington Monday, when he told a reporter that Afrikaners had received an exception to the presidentโ€™s order because they could be โ€œassimilated easilyโ€ into the United States.

So now we learn that Pam Bondi was paid over $100,000 A MONTH as a Qatar lobbyist prior to joining the administration.

I donโ€™t remember hearing about that before her appointment.
