One of those racists and conspiracy theorists who went on Fox News:
Lieutenant Governor Elect Winsome Sears: "There are some who want to divide us and we must not let that happen. They would like us to believe we are back in 1963 when my father came...In case you haven’t noticed, I am black, and I have been black all my life."
Fox News meteorologist Janice Dean is mostly sunny on TV — unless your name is Andrew Cuomo. “Unlike the poser currently in the governor’s mansion, she really IS ‘New York tough,’ whip smart & we can trust her. She’s got my vote”

CNN’s Chris Wallace ‘skeptical’ of Jan. 6 hearing
“I think that’s a bad look both for the committee and the mainstream media to seem that they are hand in glove with each other,” Wallace said.
