Review: Yes, we give you permission to hate-read 'American Canto'
Political journalist Olivia Nuzzi has dazzled the media with scandals, but her prose is less sparkling. Her much-anticipated new memoir is rife with arrogance and thin on sourcing.

It's important to note that this is the rhetoric the right has been using for YEARS when it comes to literally anyone that opposes them, for literally any reason, all of the time.
“THIS IS WAR.”
“Civil war.”
“The Left is the party of murder.”
