According to a Politico report on Thursday, two attendees of the “pass the torch” ceremony between Parscale and Stepien at the Trump campaign’s Arlington, Virginia headquarters described the 20-minute meeting as “emotional.” Politico reported that two attendees noted that campaign leaders tried to convey the notion that the shakeup “represented continuity” for Trump’s re-election campaign.

Believing that Brad Parscale ever read the Bible is like believing Paul Ryan ever read “Atlas Shrugged”.

A person can click on Google and find thousands of quotes by William Shakespeare. That doesn’t necessarily mean they’ve ever read any of his plays.
