— Why Are Fact Checkers Singling Out California’s Republican Underdog? – Tim Graham (DIERSEN: The higher the government/political office that you seek/hold, the more that your critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes demonize, denigrate, and condemn you. What are the highest government/political offices that have you have sought/held?
