I am now inspired to read transcripts of all his press conferences. This is some Trump-level insanity. At least it’s good to know that, no matter what you do, you can still get a job at Liberty if you squeeze Jesus Christ into as many sentences as possible.

That’s nice that Schumer will offer a stipend for all the eligible interns his office won’t hire. Good thing the most qualified people aren’t eligible.
