Katie Phang - Yes, it was a gross description because Trump is gross. [View all]

So there are a lot of things wrong about this Daily Beast headline:

(1) I wasn’t “canceled.” My MSNBC show was canceled. Then I voluntarily left the network for independent media and to fight against Trump in all of the places that the battles are being waged.

(2) My description of Trump’s heinous commencement speech at West Point over Memorial Day weekend was not “particularly gross.” It was, in fact, ACCURATE and TRUTHFUL, unlike what you may have read or heard on mainstream media about Trump’s performance.

[I will give credit where credit is due, though: the Daily Beast must have spoken with my rescue dog, Lucky, when they called me a “star”. They clearly didn’t get that from my 10-year old daughter who, these days, selectively talks to me and even more selectively pays me compliments.]
