I have never admired her more than I do now. Sure, she used to be a Republican, but she saw the error of that, just like Nicolle Wallace did. She took out of WaPo like a bat out of hell, and now she's taking after them like gangbusters!

It's not the central focus of her talk, so I didn't mention Garland in the OP.
