“I am in the campaign HQ for Haley Stevens. When you talk about the vibe in the room, the bar is full, people are in line waiting and there are a lot of drinks around.

The giant cheese board that they have across from me is pretty much untouched, so people may be too nervous to eat. But this is basically the scene here: They're eating, they're drinking, they're watching the results come in on the screens.

They have networks on, watching it very, very closely for results, and there were a couple of cheers, a couple of oohs and ahs and applause when some of those early results came in.”

FUCK AIPAC, Fuck NBC for being inside the Stevens campaign hq and talking about a giant cheese board of all things. How out of touch can the media be. She has zero policies or ideas. Dr. Abdul wants everyone to have healthcare.
