She was fucking set up in that Trump townhall and yet she held it together and pushed back - and she was fearless. I love that she doesn't smile. I love her inscrutable countenance. It's what is needed. I respect her and she has a lovely smile, when appropriate.

I used to wholeheartedly loathe her but over the past couple years she has gained my utmost respect. She has risen to the occasion and I am grateful.

Apparently, in journalism, only the women have balls.
