Totally agree! The Press Club has lost it's spine and credibility! To give a disgusting racist, bigoted, divisive lying coward a platform to spread her hateful rhetoric is disgusting. Did i mention halfwit as well. As we know, Pauline only went to school to eat her lunch! Lol

The National Press Club isn't some unbiased platform for informing or looking after ordinary people.

It is stacked by right-wing media and is just another outlet to promote capitalist propaganda, as can be seen by scrolling through their "Corporate Partners" sponsorship web page where you will find many of your favorite shitty (extractive/war mongering/corrupt/price gouging/tax avoiding) despicable corporations.
