The network had invited the Washington Post’s Robin Givhan to its syntactically questionable “Leading Women Defined” conference in Bal Harbour, Fla., but then demanded she leave after she published her article, claiming that Obama’s talk had been conducted in a “sacred space.”

“Wide Load” admitted that the whole garden and caring about what kids ate was just a cover to bring socialism to the US. And the woman printed that.

I’m wouldn’t be surprised if this woman has an “accident”in the near future.
