No Molly- credit for destroying lives? Have you heard what he said about Black woman the name calling. Is Credit in building an empire. Influential? Are these the right words to assign to Turning Point given the pain we are experiencing now? Yes his company made $30 million a year but the absolute pain especially those of us who know children that have been in school shootings ( Sandy Hook). Anyone losing their life so violently is tragic indeed- but fomenting hate 24/7- will exact a price on the receiver and giver unfortunately.

Absolutely no credit for that as I made that clear in live. He was on his way to building a formidable media empire with strong organizing skills. But I said his witch hunt against profs and dangerous rhetoric was not laudable. I did not find him to be virtuous, just a skillful influencer.

Good - thanks Molly. I am fighting tooth and nail here in North Carolina to save democracy and the Trump echo chambers are hard to silence. I started in PR with Robert Gray/ The Powerhouse in Georgetown the Manning Selvage and Lee. Enjoy your excellent takes how to handled the non stop crises!
