ABC News' Matthew Dowd reminds Americans how lucky they are to have him in times like these

The federal government is now in “shutdown” mode, but don’t panic, because ABC News chief political analyst has humbly reminded everybody that he is among those who remain a light in the darkness so America doesn’t lose its way:

The great news about this time is that those of us in the world who try to speak the truth and act from a place of love and compassion will stand out like never before. In dark nights, stars shine the brightest.

And of course it depends on what your definition of “speak the truth” is:

Matthew, you're a liar.

I have tons of documented examples I can provide to prove it. https://t.co/kjrtEV0aF8
