Join me as I chat with Ms. Kesha Rogers. The 22nd district in Texas recently elected her as their Democratic candidate for the upcoming fall elections.

Gibbs shows how he can talk down to a Black woman and get away with it.

You think that’s bad, Zennie62 of sfgate.com goes further and calls April Ryan (the reporter who was chastised by Gibbs) a “crabbarel”. Because in his view, Ryan is “trying to take down another Black person.”
