Rasmussen was already on Siegel’s “silly” list before that, but Rasmussen is in a league on the list of Siegel now.
“It is already on the list of idiots, but there are too many, but it is like, above everyone,” said Siegel.
The Fox broadcast team sympathized with the frustration of Siegel.
“I can feel it according to what I have just seen, which was cautious in the wind there,” said the advertisers.
