Letitita James. Jokes on you.
The debate the other day showed us that James had one thing that she relied on. Hatred for President Trump.
She has a dismal record as AG. James was outwitted, outlawyered and simply outclassed by her electoral opponent Saritha Komartireddy in their Thursday night debate.
Some of James failures.
