Has CBS News’ Selina Wang been following this election because it’s clear she hasn’t. If she did, she’d know that Donald Trump first pitched the ‘no tax on tips’ policy, which Kamala Harris stole at her Nevada rally over the weekend.

We don’t hate our media enough. Do better, you clowns. For those of us paying attention, this “accusation” narrative got stabbed, shot, beheaded, and set aflame in less than a minute.
