    How many of the problems in today’s political culture could be summed up by two words: New York?

        None. It's not the fault of New York that the Trump crime family originated there.

        Don’t blame New York Matt blame you guys on the right that didn’t push back against “birterism”, didn’t push back against Sarah Palin, didn’t push back against the Rush Limbaugh’s or the world. You brought us here Matt by your acquiescing and normalizing the very worst.pic.twitter.com/0nfRhRTYcU

        This is Matt Lewis answering questions about Sarah Palin whom he wholeheartedly supported. Some might suggest the selection of this ignorant, inexperienced, loud mouth populist was the first step towards where we are today. Congrats Matt it seems you were more culpable than NY.pic.twitter.com/bxWt7khlRo

        Actually I think you need to go deeper. What “cities” were Gingrich, DeLay, et al from? If anything they contributed to and laid the groundwork for someone like Trump to get elected in the first place. Laying blame on NYC is a cop out.

        I cannot read your mind. Do you think NYC gave us Trump? No...NYC always knew how absurd, dishonest, disgusting Trump is. No one published it! If you travel in certain circles, or even on the periphery, you’d know (then hopefully ask) that he’s alway been an outcast. A lowlife.

        Let’s all remember that Matt here was a big fan of Sarah Palin and recommended her to be the VP nominee. And he wants to blame New York for where we are today? No, it wasn’t liberals, it wasn’t NY, it wasn’t Pelosi it was you and your pals on the right that brought us here.
