What's the point? I can tell you want it to be true. RandySF Feb 2019 #174

No I don't want it to be true. I watched the unedited video. Her words her attitude were Autumn Feb 2019 #175

She said a lot more than what was presented - the confrontation was more than 15 minutes, but.... George II Feb 2019 #186
