Barely News: Company CEO 'Asks' Trump-Supporting Employees to Resign
November 11th, 2016 10:49 AM

October 29th, 2016 10:46 AM
They can't help themselves. For Democrats, the Clinton campaign, and presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, everything reflecting negatively on them must be cast in a partisan light — even something as petty as the party affiliation of the congressional addressees of a letter from the FBI.
