“What would you do, Katie, if you woke up and you saw on your competitor’s channel: ‘Let’s talk about whether or not Katie Couric is racist’? I think she’d be pissed off.” he told the crowd. “We are a citizen journalism army, and we are going to take this country back.”
After the speech, Breitbart told Politico, “I winged that one. It’s a goal. Every boy can have a dream. I can’t middle relieve for the Dodgers anymore, so I want to have my own news network.”
“I’ll have a network, I’m sure I will,” he added, “I’ll figure that out. I’m not that worried about it.”
