I am really disappointed with this administration, its responses to this debacle and its hiring choices. Just such a mess. Constantly looking like a deer in headlights, stumbling over her words, contradicting herself - is anybody advising her?

It is sexist and demeaning to refer to the female mayor of a major city by her first name. Address her with respect, by her last name, as you would if she was a man.

This was the exact sentiment I wanted to express.

This is just another distraction from Mayor Bowser's lackeys. A) You're not engaging at all with the substance of the post (which, to my mind has significant validity; the team around her is woefully incompetent and not able the moment, nor is she). B) It doesn't matter what one calls her; we're constituents and can call her whatever we like (see that I used "Mayor Bowser," and I think her approach to this Trunp takeover has been appalling). C) What matters is what she does (or doesn't do), not what she's called. And D) Where was the indignation and deep concern about sexism while Falcicchip, her closest adviser and the effective shadow mayor, was sexually harassing women? Next.

Of course, she did send a letter a couple of days before January 6 that she did not want the National Guard called up.
She also said it on the Today show. Might have been a different morning show, but she said it.

This is, of course, a lie.

Not only is it not a lie, but also common knowledge:

The DC AG? Please say more about their acumen and what they are doing that is helping this mess.

Everything you have stated here is opinion. In this era it is pointless to comment on other's opinion because people now just express, not listening to learn or change. So I hope all this typing you just engaged in was personally therapeutic.

Nope! I’ve been calling her Muriel since she was a council member.
