However, in her breathless effort to score culture war points, Ellis made a serious factual error by referring to Biles and Rapinoe as “losers.”Twitter users quickly noted that Biles and Rapinoe each have a boatload of achievements while Ellis has a series of election suit losses, not to mention accusations of ethics violations. Oh, and many couldn’t help but bring up Ellis’ unfortunate experience of being next to Rudy Giuliani during his infamous court fart.

It is needless to state that the country is experiencing the worst ever economic and political crisis owing to the shenanigans of our rulers. No serious effort was made to reform the political system that triggered political upheavals and history continues to repeat itself.
