Today the White House retaliated against CNN’s @kaitlancollins for doing her job—which was to ask questions of the president about news of the day. The action by WH was totally unjustified and outrageous.

From @JoeBiden's remarks: "The original sin of this country still stains our nation today and sometimes we manage to overlook it. We just push forward with a thousand other tasks in our daily life. But it's always there."
