For anyone wondering how ABC will cover this, The View didn’t discuss it at all on today’s show.
Mike Johnson: "This is a private matter for ABC" FCC Commissioner: "Take action or I will" Real private matter.
All I know is I canceled Hulu and won't be spending any money on any Disney shows or movies or products in the coming future. They're doing everything they can to bring back the golden age of piracy and honestly I am here for it
Has Breaking Points called out Kilmeade for comments to KILL the homeless????
The text messages were written by Ka$h Patel. That highly suggests the shooter was Right Wing.
One more thing, Portuguese here, I also cancelled my Disney+ too.
