| 1639267942125690882 | @ProjectLincoln @TheRickWilson I find that non-Americans (Swan, Mehdi Hassan, Ali Velshi) are better at interviewing US politicians. I think US journalists, try as they might, still have an engrained respect for the office & don’t call bs. Also, Swan had an expert coaching him abt Covid— his dad, @normanswan! | 63 |
