That’s the heavyweight match.

Posters were wondering why Navarro played the race card. That’s easy – it’s what she does!

what was the point of Navarro bringing race into it?

genuinely don’t understand what point she was trying to make

Your mistake is assuming coherence from her in the first place.

This is what always happens when your only trick is virtue signaling for the perpetually oppressed. That’s all this is, and this woman has done this for her entire career. Her entire identity is race baiting and trying to demonize Trump and conservatives, what a sad existence.

She’s a walking race card.

Commenters were thrilled to see some fireworks on the set. It’s been a while.

Scott Jennings just laughing at the circus. I can’t wait for him to take Mitch’s spot here in Kentucky. 😂

Jennings was sitting back and taking it all in, not saying a word, and hopefully, giving some serious thought to running for U.S. Senator in Kentucky.
