You've probably had this thought, John

Remember this, John   Hey John —  I recently attended a town hall meeting, and a man in the audience asked me the following question. Based on the audience's response to the question, I know he wasn’t the only one thinking this: “You know, we go to protests and we come to these events.…

Yesterday in Arizona
