We should at least remember her role as a major warmonger." "f it. i apologize for being insensitive. it's always wrong, that's obvious. i'm rolling my eyes at all the attention she will get." today, nir rosen resigned from his fellowship at american university. the university said he told them he didn't know logan had been seriously attacked and sexually assaulted. that's a claim he also made in print online today. but is that true or is he continuing to lie trying to save his reputation by minimizing what he wrote by claiming he wasn't fully informed? you can decide for yourself. i spoke wit...
