In reply to the discussion: Newsom's press office doesn't miss a beat on Piggy-gate. [View all]Emrys
(8,759 posts)25. Probably happening all over social media, but MAGAites have been desperately swarming any posts
on Twitter showing the video of the boorish clod, claiming that Trump didn't say "piggy", he said "PEGGY", because a Peggy Collins works for Bloomberg.
Unfortunately for them, the journalist who had the audacity to ask Trump a pertinent question that even many MAGAites would like answered was in fact Catherine Lucey of Bloomberg.
Not only that, but the White House press office has now doubled down and defended Trump calling her "piggy":
MS NOWs senior White House correspondent Vaughn Hillyard reported that the White House released a statement on the exchange as the video went viral on social media.
This reporter behaved in an inappropriate and unprofessional way towards her colleagues on the plane. If youre going to give it, you have to be able to take, said the White House.

I look forward to all journalists from now on calling Trump any number of imaginative and insulting, if accurate, names, because "If youre going to give it, you have to be able to take," right?

After days of "liquid California sunshine" I am loving the solar kind and in a happy mood.

Newsom is The One. He can mock circles around the pig in chief & his sty of Millers/Bannons/Bondis.
