And she concludes with another “Why don’t you write about what *I* think is important instead of that unimportant stuff you’re passionate about?” dig. Read again my response a few Tweets up. She even links to this insulting Tweet I covered a few weeks s ago. 9/ https://twitter.com/VPrasadMDMPH/status/1188964782184919042 …
