He picked poorly. This will impede his positioning as an independent and moderate. I know a few of his supporters ( I was close, but no cigar) and none are happy with this choice to be next in line for the Presidency. The only way this can be read as a good choice is in comparison to the hideous Kamala.
He blew it big time. All he had to do is reach across the political aisle. Lots of well qualified young conservative Republicans to show his desire to be a president for all Americans. What he just did is go for only the liberal elites who can’t stand Biden because they see the corruption and incompetence with their own eyes but refuse to get out of their MSM bubbles to realize the truth and therefore can not vote for Trump.
He blew it big time, long ago. I personally do not believe he ever had any intention of running for office until his popularity literally soared during Covid. I believe his Hollywood wife realized what he'd tapped into and then coerced him into running.
Reason being was his entire demeanor changed. The three most popular words used to describe him were genuine, honest and sincere. Everything you read, people were all using the same exact words to portray him. Hence why he resonated and his popularity skyrocketed.
Kucinich was a GREAT pick to run his campaign and he should've picked HIM for his VP! But something went sour and they parted ways. Most likely the very same things I saw. The work-out video was an atrocity and embarrassment, just who exactly was he pandering to?
He already had a substantial constituency which this deeply offended. Exactly what we needed another philandering Kennedy in the WH. Seriously - the man is 70 years old - you just know it was the wife's idea. The tight shirts - the walks in the woods, again showing off his physique. The world is on fire and this guy is showing off his pecks? It sickened and repulsed me that he started believing his own press.
He really had it all - his message resonated with everyone and he all the experience required to actually pull it off and implement it. NO ONE knows more about politics and what goes on in Washington than the Kennedy's. He knew all the agencies inside and out because he had sued them and won. He talked about ending and abolishing the corruption saying it wasn't the entire alphabet agencies but rather then ten percent at the top that needed to go! He even named names! He talked about closing the 800 bases throughout the world and bringing the personnel home to protect our Country and boarders instead. He talked about the dangers of vaccines and had the facts to back it up. His message was spot on and then he got nutty . . . . his stance on Israel could not possibly be more wrong so you knew he was now bought and paid for the the Israel lobby. He always said prove that he is wrong about what he says and he will gladly change his stance. Everyone came out of the woodwork to explain why he was so wrong and yet he remained steadfast! When he came out and said the Palestinian's were the most pampered people in the world - you truly began to question his sanity or wonder if he was deliberately sabotaging his own campaign. But when he compounded matters and then said "the Palestinian's had no right to defend themselves" after 75 years of occupation he sealed his fate and you knew he had been bought off or paid to throw the election. I would pay good money to find out exactly why Kucinich quit the campaign because there lies the truth, about everything. He really really had it made until he blew it BIG TIME! He's also extremely uxorious and insecure which is a trait amongst addicts and therefore could and never will be a leader. Had he stayed on message and picked Kucinich as he VP he would be the next POTUS Even if they eliminated yet another Kennedy Kucinich would've been awesome to implement everything he had spoken about!
I read it all similarly. I was also repulsed by his belief in “climate change “. Yes, it is called weather here in the real world. If you want to help Mother Earth keep doing what you were doing all those years going after polluters and Monsanto. They are damaging earth NOT CARBON DIOXIDE which is necessary for life.
Though the "news" says that Mary Richardson, RFK Jr.'s second wife with whom he had 4 kids, was a despondent, suicidal alcoholic, the image of Mary Richardson swinging at the end of a rope soon after RFK Jr filed for D-I-V-O-R-C-E and got custody of their 4 children is an image that i will not soon forget.
I always suspected if he got to close to the WH they would use that against him. Wasn't he already dating his current wife at the time of her death? And wasn't he already dating Mary when he also divorced his first wife?
I live in the East Bay close to Oakland and it seems to me this woman is a very wealthy billionaire once married to an even wealthier billionaire who has insight into how the manipulation of media and the technology to destroy truth tellers and honest journalists works. If you think about it that knowledge is key to RFK Jr being taken seriously by Democrats and the rest of the country: both main stream press and the internet giants have essentially blockaded him up to this point. And it gives him the ability to get on the ticket. It's a smarter move than most people can fathom..after all a pretty, youngish, white woman? (not at all a move ever made by Biden) And then of course there is Elon Musk, her alleged former bf. Oh yeah she is very intelligent...
Ex wife of Russian Google billionaire. WEF superstar. Wants DEI/EQUITY to rule corporations and courts. She is a climate nut that wants climate justice. She couldn’t be more evil
I disagree with most of the comments all saying she is a bad choice.
We don't know yet how she will fair, but here is my take:
1) She has seen the inside of Google and the corrupt left.
2) She knows her way around the law.
3) She is attractive (some people only vote on looks).
4) She understands the corruption behind vaccines first hand.
5) She isn't just a pretty face, but active and stands on her own.
6) I would rate her above any of the other VPs now or previous candidates.
RFK has my vote. Trump is controlled opposition installed by the DNC so they can chase him continually with baseless accusations. Biden is a moron and/or corrupt beyond belief. The only way not to have more of the exact same (There is no way they will let Trump beat Biden or any DNC and the vote no longer has chain of custody), is to vote for RFK Jr.
People change. Many woke up in the past few years. The next few months will show how much and if it is genuine. Kennedy wouldn't name a pro-vaxer as VP. That doesn't make any sense. So if he believe in her, we should trust that for a little while and give her a chance.
The director of a foundation she owns is also linked to another foundation that she doesn't own, that financed event 201.
That isn't what you said. Your quote was: "She funded Event 201".
You also made the claim that I listen to MSM and need to stop (when did you stop beating your wife). That statement was also untrue. 2 out of two proven wrong.
Now your credibility is gone and I can't trust that your statements are true. You need to be careful what you say.
I agree and commented in a similar fashion above. Sadly, I can't vote as I am not American but good to hear that some people vote for Kennedy. The other two options look like pure madness to me.
Deeply spiritual? This is the guy who has the CHILDREN'S DEFENSE Platform. I used to admire him until he said he is for abortion-up-to-birth of innocent DEFENSELESS unborn babies (aka children). Supposedly, this is about "bodily autonomy" for their mothers, but the babies don't get any "bodily autonomy? (just torture and death). He is no different than all his Democrat predecessors and contemporaries. There is not one of them that can think outside this box. They are all lemmings, promoting death for the unborn and licking their chops as they grin while signing "laws" to enforce their genocide. Anyone who would seriously consider voting for them is no different from all the folks who ignored the genocide of the 1930s and 1940s in Europe.
Oh really? Did you know genocide continues? Are you aware of who funds most of it and also who profits?
Are you aware that an acorn is not an oak tree? Are you aware that most religious and spiritual people believe God breaths life into the newborn to begin life at first breath?
Actually, am i wasting my time with an algorithmic machine?
I am not a machine. Yes, of course, genocide continues, even to this day. Yes, I know who funds it and who profits. Do you know who profits from the genocide of the unborn? Are you aware that human life begins at conception? We actually have photographs of this. Are you aware that Scripture says that God said, "Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you" ?? We (all of us, even you) began our lives at conception, and we were very alive long before our actual debut (births) into the world. If you believe you are wasting your time, you can always withdraw from a serious conversation.
“most religious and spiritual people believe God breaths life into the newborn to begin life at first breath.”
Wrong. No, most do not. Most Christians believe God when He said “the babe lept in the womb,” referring to Elizabeth’s son John, meaning God Himself acknowledged that an unborn baby is still a baby. Most Christians (I can’t speak for other religions) believe that abortion is murder because the baby is just on temporary life support that is removed at birth. That’s a baby, not a “clump of cells” that the radical political groups use to justify abortion.
I am trying not to laugh. So, you think that caring about the genocide of innocent DEFENSELESS babies (without any anesthesia, I might add) makes me pro-Trump and a "professional disruptor"? What kind of (lack of) logic is that? I am not "smearing" Kennedy. I am reporting exactly what he says. If he is smeared, he is smearing himself. How can he purport to be for the DEFENSE of CHILDREN and advocate for the butchering of DEFENSELESS babies? That is the height of hypocrisy. It has nothing to do with Trump or "the right". It has everything to do with what IS RIGHT, FAIR and JUST. We would not treat our pets so inhumanely as he would suggest we treat our unborn babies.
RFK had never once said he is for abortion until birth. That is a completely lie. Only radical left wing toxic human beings would condone abortion all the way up until birth. RFK has said time and time again that there is a deadline on abortions.
As Christians, we see things very much the same Stef. As many have said, Kennedy needs to double down on his position on the vax as it’s harmed and killed many. That’s his platform. Kudos to him on that. A lot of Christians, however, have a problem with his stance on other traditional anti-Christian political stances like abortion. Some radical (democrats or psychopaths?) have even advocated for after-birth abortion/murder. Even Trump has advocated for later term abortion. He supports gay rights. Even Trump is more of a moderate than some other Republicans. It’s the lesser of evils.
I don’t support hardly anything Biden stands for. Support more of RFKs issues, and even more of Trump’s. It all comes down to the policies and issues. Trump ain’t perfect but he’s got more right than wrong.
I think it's a fabulous choice. She leans more left than I would typically choose. But I think this is a super smart choice. I don't align with all of her positions. Nor do I align with all of JFK's. But I have NO faith in the UNI PARTY. Yes, the populist arm of the Republican Party is trying to break free...but there is SO MUCH entrenchment and corruption in both parties, I don't think the change we need can come from within either of these parties. People should realize that merely pointing out a candidates historical words or actions in the past is not necessarily relevant to what they believe today. I too, used to believe that scientists told the truth, that universities provided educations, that regulatory agencies regulated big business...and of course, that doctors and hospitals cared about our health. I changed. Nicole Shanahan can change too. We all wake up at different times in our journey. People in their silos will look at her history and say, no, no, no, but they are not change makers...they are tribalists for the most part. This is the time for radical change.
I agree - people change. Giver her a chance. Sadly, in American politics no-one will win without money and connections. She provides that. She is also spot on about health issues.
I found it interesting how many nah-sayers replied negativly. I wonder how many of those are real, how many are bots, how many are deliberatly planted?
No candidate is ideal - but Kennedy is by far the best option America has atm.
Biden and the Democrats are horrible. Trump will divide the country even more and will go on a personal revenge mission while still firmly in the vax camp and big business camp (simply using his blind followers),too inexperienced to fight big pharma and deep state.
He tried, he had his chance, he failed. They played him. Why would he deserve a second chance?
Kennedy fought deep state all his life and has a proven track record on this.
There is no way, Biden survives another election year with any dignity.
No other democratic candidates are as good as Kennedy.
You never know - if the polls show that the Democrats lose to Trump, maybe they re-negiate with Kennedy as the official candidate. Stranger things have happened in politics.
Strategically, to lean more left is the right move from Kennedy. The core Trump voters are too fanatic to switch sides, no matter what. They rather go down with Trump than vote for anyone else.
But there must be millions of embarrassed intelligent Democrats waking up from the woke nightmare.
For them, Nicole is a great choice - mirroring their own journey from hard-left back to more moderate democratic positions.
I think it is a smart move by Kennedy.
You don't want a running mate that inspires the same people than yourself if you want more votes. You either go left or right from your own position. Going left is the logical direction because the left is much more vulnerable than the right.
Very well said, thank you. This is the first comment that did not sound like a bot or a hater, and the only one with more data than vitriol.
Indeed the uniparty has to go. And the billionaires will are be happier as they begin to feel integrated into society. It may take them awhile. Comupance usually does. Vast wealth is as much the cause of greed and fear as it is the result. And mother nature will swing the balance as we learn to get out of her way and follow her lead. Don't you think?
I think your mention of mother nature is spot on. Both RFK jr and Nicole Shanahan appear to share the same vision and deference to nature (as we should). They recognize that we as a society have veered far away from nature in pursuit of greed and power. Our children, as canaries in the coal mine, are paying the price now, but our entire society is suffering from this war on nature. Not because those in power don't enjoy nature...but because nature can't be patented and monetized.
There is no greater transformation that occurs than that which happens to a mom who finds out her child is suffering from a chronic illness due to environmental factors. Mothers will do anything they can to try and find out what happened to their child and how to heal them. Even pay out of network doctor fees for functional medicine doctors to ascertain root causes.
Once you go down all those rabbit holes, you can't go back and unknow what you've learned. There are few things more profound than finding out your insurance network doctor will never even do the necessary tests needed to heal your child (because that might reveal a root environmental cause and we can't have that). It appears Nicole went down the functional medicine rabbit hole, the non-network doctors that are allowed to tell the truth, don't take insurance, order the appropriate lab tests show root causes, and then provide actual remedies that can work (not pharmaceutical medicines).
Once you go down that rabbit hole, your entire world view changes. You think, if they are willing to sacrifice our children and look the other way, what else would they be willing to do? It's a hard pill to swallow. I think she had a close friend with a similar journey who led her to more independent sources of information.
The thing is, once you look at the incentive structure of the medical system; the medical schools, the medical journals, the universities, the insurance companies, the regulatory agencies, the pharmaceutical companies, et. al. you are forever changed. There is no going back. You then question everything. I think this happened to Nicole...
When it comes to the health of your child, Democrat or Republican tribalism, is not relevant. Although she talked about many different issues in her speech, it is through the lense of this environmental toxicity and corporate corruption that she views most of the problems we face.
I don't know who she is, but it sounds like he tried to find a Tulsi Gabbard doppelgänger as this description could easily apply to her, down to the surfer with a spiritual dimension.
He approached Tulsi and she turned him down. If Trump bows down to the fucking RNC/GOP and opts for another too socially Conservative ideologue vs Gabbard, he will have an even more difficult time winning. He really needs to contemplate his 2016 campaign that garnered the win and why the GOP has been losing since he appointed ACB and the overturn of Roe. The GOP has become a theocratic body, conflating the Constitution with their fundamentalist adherence to the New Testament. The left prefers the Communist Manifesto, 1984,Brave New World, Machiavelli and Mein Kampf as a concomitant playbook.
Both parties are stripping away our rights as individuals, but the Dem Death Cult has game.
Trump MUST choose the independent minded, pragmatic, Brave, eloquent Tulsi . There are far more Americans spanning the spectrum who would vote R if she was on the ticket than there are miserable, old , white , past expiration date preachers and culturally disconnected leftovers from Mayberry RFD.
It is all good. No worries. The only way to remove money from politics is to remove the incentives for becoming an elected official. Take away the prize and the money will go somewhere else.
From Wikipedia (if one can still believe anything there) ...
She donated $4 million to a super PAC to pay for a 30-second television Super Bowl ad, aired during Super Bowl LVIII, supporting the campaign. In addition to funding the ad's broadcast, Shanahan was also a "creative force" behind the ad, the total cost of which was variously said to be $5 million or (according to the super PAC's co-founder) $7 million.
That is certainly what MSM and Social media platforms want you to believe. She was leftist. What she is now is unknown. A lot of people have woken up lately and realized how they were played. The make good candiadates.
Not a fan of this at all, but the silver lining is that now RFK will obviously pull more votes from the left than the right.
boom, this is about getting donor money, terrible move, lost any credibility...worse than Kamala
My thought exactly.
Are you a fan of corporatism? Greed & corruption?
Turnkey totalitarian planet?
That's so over.
AMEN!
Big mistake. Read up on her this morning. As left as you can get.
Exactly. I'm out and want my contributions back.
why is that bad? and what specifically is as left as you can get?
*ex-wife of Google co-founder Sergey Brin
*HUGE funder of left wing Soros-backed DAs such as LA County DA George Gascon
*avid backer of California-style “criminal justice reforms”

If you have to ask, you don't get it.
Epic fail. At least it would take more votes from Biden than Trump.
boom
I do not like it at all. She's a woke SJW.
He is very likely to lose support (particularly from the center right) over this choice.
He picked poorly. This will impede his positioning as an independent and moderate. I know a few of his supporters ( I was close, but no cigar) and none are happy with this choice to be next in line for the Presidency. The only way this can be read as a good choice is in comparison to the hideous Kamala.
Ditto. I was hoping he would hang tough and break the system , but without money, there is no way to catch a break. He tried.
He blew it big time. All he had to do is reach across the political aisle. Lots of well qualified young conservative Republicans to show his desire to be a president for all Americans. What he just did is go for only the liberal elites who can’t stand Biden because they see the corruption and incompetence with their own eyes but refuse to get out of their MSM bubbles to realize the truth and therefore can not vote for Trump.

"... Wasn't he already dating his current wife at the time of her death? And wasn't he already dating Mary when he also divorced his first wife?"
idk, but RFK Jr is one of the Kennedy clan, you know, so it woudn't be at all surprising to me if the answers to your questions are "yes" and "yes." 😅
You are full of shite.
I live in the East Bay close to Oakland and it seems to me this woman is a very wealthy billionaire once married to an even wealthier billionaire who has insight into how the manipulation of media and the technology to destroy truth tellers and honest journalists works.

People do change.
However, some very hard questions need to be asked.
I agree - and she will be put through the wringer, no doubt. Let's decide after. Hear her out. Trust Kennedy a little.
I owe RFK Jr. a huge deal of gratitude for exposing that murdering psycho Fauci.
So many in the medical community still hold him in high esteem. Fauci served under 8 Presidents who were unaware of his diabolical actions.
Whenever I want to see what side of the covid bioweapon people are on, I asked them if they have read Bobby Kennedy's 1st and 2nd book.
It is kind of like a discerning tool.
Of course, if they are still wearing a mask, I just ignore them.
She did all by herself? I don't think you are telling the whole story.
I didn't say she did it all by herself.
Then you haven't made a point. And you were deceptive in your statement.
Pay attention...stop listening to MSM.

Human life begins at implantation https://anniegottlieb.substack.com/p/extrauterine-children
Happy you got wise to it at the end. So many paid professional disrupters. Kennedy must start to really worry some people.
He would only worry me if he had any position of influence or authority.
“most religious and spiritual people believe God breaths life into the newborn to begin life at first breath.”
Wrong. No, most do not. Most Christians believe God when He said “the babe lept in the womb,” referring to Elizabeth’s son John, meaning God Himself acknowledged that an unborn baby is still a baby.

That’s a baby, not a “clump of cells” that the radical political groups use to justify abortion.
Hmm, why do you care? You sound like you are firmly planted in the right and support Trump. So this should be a good move for Trump, or not?
You smearing Kennedy doesn't make any logical sense which tells me, that you are possibly a paid professional disrupter to take Kennedy down.
As they did with deSantis.
I am trying not to laugh. So, you think that caring about the genocide of innocent DEFENSELESS babies (without any anesthesia, I might add) makes me pro-Trump and a "professional disruptor"?

Yes, the populist arm of the Republican Party is trying to break free...but there is SO MUCH entrenchment and corruption in both parties, I don't think the change we need can come from within either of these parties. People should realize that merely pointing out a candidates historical words or actions in the past is not necessarily relevant to what they believe today. I too, used to believe that scientists told the truth, that universities provided educations, that regulatory agencies regulated big business...and of course, that doctors and hospitals cared about our health. I changed. Nicole Shanahan can change too. We all wake up at different times in our journey. People in their silos will look at her history and say, no, no, no, but they are not change makers...they are tribalists for the most part. This is the time for radical change.
I agree - people change. Giver her a chance. Sadly, in American politics no-one will win without money and connections. She provides that. She is also spot on about health issues.
I found it interesting how many nah-sayers replied negativly. I wonder how many of those are real, how many are bots, how many are deliberatly planted?
No candidate is ideal - but Kennedy is by far the best option America has atm.
Biden and the Democrats are horrible. Trump will divide the country even more and will go on a personal revenge mission while still firmly in the vax camp and big business camp (simply using his blind followers),too inexperienced to fight big pharma and deep state.
He tried, he had his chance, he failed. They played him. Why would he deserve a second chance?
Kennedy fought deep state all his life and has a proven track record on this.
There is no way, Biden survives another election year with any dignity.
No other democratic candidates are as good as Kennedy.
You never know - if the polls show that the Democrats lose to Trump, maybe they re-negiate with Kennedy as the official candidate. Stranger things have happened in politics.
Strategically, to lean more left is the right move from Kennedy. The core Trump voters are too fanatic to switch sides, no matter what. They rather go down with Trump than vote for anyone else.
But there must be millions of embarrassed intelligent Democrats waking up from the woke nightmare.
For them, Nicole is a great choice - mirroring their own journey from hard-left back to more moderate democratic positions.
I think it is a smart move by Kennedy.
You don't want a running mate that inspires the same people than yourself if you want more votes. You either go left or right from your own position. Going left is the logical direction because the left is much more vulnerable than the right.
Very well said, thank you. This is the first comment that did not sound like a bot or a hater, and the only one with more data than vitriol.
Indeed the uniparty has to go. And the billionaires will are be happier as they begin to feel integrated into society. It may take them awhile. Comupance usually does. Vast wealth is as much the cause of greed and fear as it is the result. And mother nature will swing the balance as we learn to get out of her way and follow her lead. Don't you think?
I think your mention of mother nature is spot on. Both RFK jr and Nicole Shanahan appear to share the same vision and deference to nature (as we should). They recognize that we as a society have veered far away from nature in pursuit of greed and power. Our children, as canaries in the coal mine, are paying the price now, but our entire society is suffering from this war on nature. Not because those in power don't enjoy nature...but because nature can't be patented and monetized.
There is no greater transformation that occurs than that which happens to a mom who finds out her child is suffering from a chronic illness due to environmental factors. Mothers will do anything they can to try and find out what happened to their child and how to heal them. Even pay out of network doctor fees for functional medicine doctors to ascertain root causes.
Once you go down all those rabbit holes, you can't go back and unknow what you've learned. There are few things more profound than finding out your insurance network doctor will never even do the necessary tests needed to heal your child (because that might reveal a root environmental cause and we can't have that). It appears Nicole went down the functional medicine rabbit hole, the non-network doctors that are allowed to tell the truth, don't take insurance, order the appropriate lab tests show root causes, and then provide actual remedies that can work (not pharmaceutical medicines).
Once you go down that rabbit hole, your entire world view changes. You think, if they are willing to sacrifice our children and look the other way, what else would they be willing to do? It's a hard pill to swallow. I think she had a close friend with a similar journey who led her to more independent sources of information.
The thing is, once you look at the incentive structure of the medical system; the medical schools, the medical journals, the universities, the insurance companies, the regulatory agencies, the pharmaceutical companies, et. al. you are forever changed. There is no going back. You then question everything. I think this happened to Nicole...
When it comes to the health of your child, Democrat or Republican tribalism, is not relevant. Although she talked about many different issues in her speech, it is through the lense of this environmental toxicity and corporate corruption that she views most of the problems we face.
Cheryl, Great points. Well stated!
I don't trust politicians.
I don't know who she is, but it sounds like he tried to find a Tulsi Gabbard doppelgänger as this description could easily apply to her, down to the surfer with a spiritual dimension.
He approached Tulsi and she turned him down. If Trump bows down to the fucking RNC/GOP and opts for another too socially Conservative ideologue vs Gabbard, he will have an even more difficult time winning. He really needs to contemplate his 2016 campaign that garnered the win and why the GOP has been losing since he appointed ACB and the overturn of Roe. The GOP has become a theocratic body, conflating the Constitution with their fundamentalist adherence to the New Testament. The left prefers the Communist Manifesto, 1984,Brave New World, Machiavelli and Mein Kampf as a concomitant playbook.
Both parties are stripping away our rights as individuals, but the Dem Death Cult has game.
Trump MUST choose the independent minded, pragmatic, Brave, eloquent Tulsi . There are far more Americans spanning the spectrum who would vote R if she was on the ticket than there are miserable, old , white , past expiration date preachers and culturally disconnected leftovers from Mayberry RFD.
And hiker
He forgot to say, "I wanted someone with a bottomless fucking checkbook to give us a slim chance of being heard."
It's not Kennedys fault that American politics is ALL about money. There is no way to win without money - it is systematic.
So why is it ok for Trump and Biden to have money blown up their arses but not for Kennedy?
No one said that. You are responding to something I did not write.
Ok - apologies if I misread your post. It appeared to be ciritical of chosing a money VP but you are right, you didn't actually say that.
It is all good. No worries. The only way to remove money from politics is to remove the incentives for becoming an elected official. Take away the prize and the money will go somewhere else.
From Wikipedia (if one can still believe anything there) ...
She donated $4 million to a super PAC to pay for a 30-second television Super Bowl ad, aired during Super Bowl LVIII, supporting the campaign. In addition to funding the ad's broadcast, Shanahan was also a "creative force" behind the ad, the total cost of which was variously said to be $5 million or (according to the super PAC's co-founder) $7 million.
RFK,Jr. Is toast. Horrendous decision. His decision so bad, it indicates that he is either bought or incredibly incompetent.
And why do you care? You sound like a professional disrupter. No argument or real informations. Just part of a Kennedy smearing offensive.
This is good news for Patriots. This will pull votes from commieJoe and help elect Trump.
She is unqualified and a leftist
That is certainly what MSM and Social media platforms want you to believe. She was leftist. What she is now is unknown. A lot of people have woken up lately and realized how they were played. The make good candiadates.
