Steve Morris(@stevemorris__):Pretty 👀 moment in the very bitter Rhode Island gubernatorial debate last week between Dan McKee, the unpopular incumbent, and Helena Foulkes, who is probably going to beat him in the Dem primary next month: Foulkes: "I'm certainly not disparaging the state of Rhode Island, I'm disparaging its governor." McKee: "I am the state of Rhode Island."
