That IS pudding! On your nose. Because, you know, when you lie down with fascists, you get up with pudding in your nose.

why did you cave to fascist DEsantis? SO disappointing!

That's racist.

So what did Ron do, threaten you with from expulsion from his Pravda 'news' conferences?

SHAME ON YOU for kowtowing to conservative propagandists. Firing someone for CORRECTLY calling propaganda as such? I unfollowed Axios & will no longer watch your show nor read your news reports. Disgusted.

Axios is afraid of Ron Desantis, fires its own reporter for calling him out. = Cowards! Axios is NOT on the side of free speech & the truth! That thing Americans call Democracy is clearly what you don't stand for! Wth is wrong with Axios? Traitors!🤬

Don't care about your excuses, you're Vichy

Y’all are canceled and I’m telling 600 friends

Axios is not a legitimate news company. You are clearly a propagandist and shill for republicans. Do not trust ANYTHING 'reported' by axios.
