She shows the powerful moment when Nicki Minaj has an awkward flub with Erika Kirk and Kirk’s graceful reaction, Minaj’s powerful message to girls everywhere that got Vice President JD Vance’s attention, plus JD Vance and Jasmine Crockett’s war of words, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries lashing out on the Somali story, and Hunter Biden talking immigration.
