  • MAGA Grifter

    Was a fan my whole life. Now he has either shown his true colors or he is latching on to MAGA for the grift. Supporting ICE and promoting DOGE? That’s not what a reporter does. Shame on you, Chris.

    The episodes on true blue are much more entertaining in my opinion. But these do great while on the road. Chris, thank you for taking these sick people off of the street. & To everyone that is making this work political: get a grip

    I thought Chris was into stopping predators, not advertising for pedo-President supporters. Gross.
