To the letter, verbatim. Empty, mendacious insults of "corporatist and establishment" to someone who grew up in a poor immigrant family and worked as a janitor to pay his way through law school.
The language was identical, the finger prints unmistakable.
Did you see anything about Harris "sleeping her way to the top?" That's all over Twitter.
No wonder we see non-stop misdirection, dissembling, and retreat into empty buzzwords and insults. It's all part of a ruse to conceal a craven power play.
