  1. Apparently the same sort of attacks happened in Oregon and Washington to less media attention. And the FBI foiled a plot by at least one Neo-Nazi cell to do the same.

  2. Glad to hear but no need to make everything sound like you’re “playing dumb” please stop acting like you’ve never reported on this before and try to mention one should follow laws when visiting another country! Also… Why does this anchor always look so disheveled – make up desk that hair does not do her any favors.
