I just know that, I don’t know, 50 million people did that in 2018. That was a type of party that a lot of people went to. “He continued: “The woke police is out there. And this poor girl Rachael, who has just been thrown to the lions. I don’t know how you are equipped when you have never done this before, to be woke enough, to be eloquent enough, to be ready to handle this.”
