“And Thank you mr trump for inviting a riot at the White House.” She was being sarcastic. She is pissed off, told the camera man to get that camera down right now (something like that, he started backing up) then said she knew he was just doing his job.

If you think looting is bad wait until I tell you about civil forfeiture.

State Congresscritter leeches off of Meemaw back a dirt road where they park on the grass. Meemaw does what she can but what can you do?

The boy’s not right in the head. His mama was the same way.

Yep. And she was just doing her job as his grandmother. She knows her grandbaby is in the wrong and she knows Trump egged him on, but she also can't stand by and let his humiliation be filmed.

I actually kinda love Grandma.

Me too Mary Anna - she is angry, but she still tells the guy she knows he is still doing his job. She is protecting her babies. Good for her.

I like grandma too. It's her grandson I don't think much of.

Seriously, yes to both comments re: granny and grandson. I can't imagine being placed in the situation where you have to step outside your house to watch your grandson be carted off by the police, and then be confronted by press asking you to make a statement.
