MSNBC's Kornacki Finally Notices GA-06 Maybe Not Solidly Republican
June 21st, 2017 4:31 PM
You read it here first. Two months ago -- and again last night -- NewsBusters pointed out that there was a major hole in the dominant media theory that GA-06 was a "solidly Republican" district that Republicans should be embarrassed about having to defend in yesterday's special election.
