I don’t always agree with Amy Schumer (especially when she’s going off on anti-gun rants) but when I do, it is for a good reason.

Glamour magazine responded to Schumer with this statement:
Perusing through the recaps on the #DemDebate last night, I came across an opinion piece on “sisterhood” and the Hillary Clinton campaign. No doubt, Clinton is playing…
