Luke Russert's question to Nancy Pelosi was perfectly legitimate, however, sadly for him, she bested him, and that's why she is where she is, she's on top.
Taking to to Twitter to complain about it just made Russert look like a dope. Luke, you need to grow up.
Luke Russert's question to Nancy Pelosi was offensive. I have never heard such a question being posed to any male leader in government. Luke owes Nancy Pelosi an apology.
