At the end of a long first day at the 2024 Republican National Convention (RNC), I ordered a beer from the Drink Wisconsinbly Pub (a bar across from the convention centre), found a table and lit a cigarette.
“How did you get a lighter in here?”
Shonda Little, a lively journalist from Oklahoma, had had her lighter confiscated by the Secret Service, possibly because she was being a smartarse.
She lit a smoke and started spouting crazy factoids. Like how in one day she had counted 27 separate state police uniforms at the RNC.
