Gotta love it when the default personalities of these elitist shills gets exposed. O'Donnell beats O'Reilly on this one for sustained tantrum duration and in the f-bomb count; plus his staff looks like they are working for Kim Jong Un and fear for their lives. I'm guessing this wasn't a one off rant for this prima donna propagandist. What's your definition of a toxic work environment?
