"All the gravitas of an aspiring Bravolebrity" was such a hard slap that I got whiplash. And a hearty laugh. But @kirflem will be hearing from my accident lawyer.

âSo who is the real @MrMikeBlake? Just a few months ago, when he asked me to endorse him in the mayoral primary (despite his inability to garner even 1%), he referred to himself as the most pro-Israel candidate in the race, with a record to reflect that,â said @SEichenstein.

Rep. Greg Meeks delivers the closing remarks at Julie Meninâs speaker reception. I asked him to confirm if he supports her on the way in. âIâm here!â he said. A snippet of his speech here that illustrates his argument in metaphor. Essentially: Menin will bring people together.
