Just thinking how funny it is that Trump's Cabinet officials had to go on TV and push this line of BS knowing that it would almost certainly come back to blow up in their face.
BASH: But it peeled off. Why did that happen?
BURGUM: It didn't peel off. There was vandalism. There was box cutters. There have been 7 arrests.
BASH: There are photographs of people cutting a 350 foot gash in the reflecting pool?
BURGUM: Dana, I'm not sure why you keep questioning it

WOW. The ex-wife of the ICE officer who shot a 26-year-old Colombian man in Maine has come forward to say that he had mental health issues and was abusive in their relationship.
She says after the shooting he called asking her to vouch for him — instead, she went to the press.
