I normally don't post/repost anything about Megyn Kelly. She is - as one poster put it - a vapid c*nt who just wants her 15 minutes.
However, I'm glad that this young lady I am posting was given permission by her parents to post this 👇🏽💙 Spot on dear! 💙

It was likely a chain of reactive decision-making based on an initial faulty premise which could not (would not) be countermanded due to internal politics.
Wow!!!
