Pitts on the payroll

Is columnist Leonard Pitts Jr. on the Democratic payroll? If he’s not, he should be!

Once again, he writes a disgraceful Hillary Clinton article that obviously stretches the truth.

For him to write, with zero conjecture, and such certainty, that “...had this been a Trump rally, the protesters would have been beaten up...” is shameful.

As Pitts, and virtually everyone in the United States knows, Donald Trump has had hundreds of thousands of supporters who line up to see, listen and support him.

And, of course, there were relatively few altercations. Pitts should stop serving as a propagandist for Clinton and come join us in the real world.
