t Jussie Smollett was slandering Trump supporters, which is exactly what was happening. Like not a little bit, not a dog whistle. It's like literally exactly what was happening. Axelrod has changed that to slandering our city. Is that what happened? Did any of you watch this story and say to yourself, my God, what has he done to slander Chicago? Literally no one had that feeling. Literally no one.

But what are you gonna do? I mean, there's nothing about this story that you can hold on to that's like the good side for your narrative. But man, that's a good try. I mean, it's a failure, but it's a hell of a try. He inexcusably slandered our city. Slandered our city. Nothing like that happened. Well, I mean, you could argue it happened, but it would be the fourth thing you'd worry about on the list of things you're worrying about.

So I had a good laugh about that. And again, I would say he's one of maybe five people on the Democrat side who could even get that close to some kind of a reframe of the situation.

They're looking at that sandwich and they're thinking, so you were the victim of a brutal hate crime but you protected your sandwich? And so that was sort of a tell.

It's funny how often Subway gets dragged into some terrible story. Haven't they had like two spokespeople so far who got accused of hate crimes? I always feel sorry for Subway because they're just trying to mind their own business, you know, sell you some sandwiches. We just want to sell you some damn sandwiches. Can you leave us out of the news? Sandwich you, sandwich stomach. That's it. We'd like to keep our entire brand focused on the sandwich part of it. But no, Subway just keep
