Abundant tweets about civil liberties & national security. "Has a longer memory than an elephant & keeps more records than Jim Comey.” Legendary potty mouth.

        Every single thing, including his understanding of dissidents (on which I can claim some expertise).

        But honestly, I have a really difficult time getting over someone who misused language like he did lecturing someone whose role is jester about how she uses language. He paved the way for Trump and should start w/accountability.

        If Joy Reid can be forgiven for what she wrote a dozen years ago, maybe David Frum can too?

        Last I checked, Joy Reid had asked forgiveness, shown some remorse (sort of). I'm not aware of where Frum acknowledged the role he played in paving the way for Trump.

        After @IvankaTrump did her Israeli embassy opening she was absolutely trolling on twitter. The way Bee used the word as a feminist is exactly how I used it. As another woman only we can use that word. IMO

        Fair enough but this seems more like strategic advice than lecturing.

        .@DavidFrum any comment on the remarkable hypocrisy of a Trump White House that enveighs against political correctness, uses the foulest of language itself, then hypocritically demands political correctness?

        In my opinion, David Frum is a very decent man. I don’t think coining a phrase (think while a speechwriter) renders that untrue.
