I love how up until yesterday, they posted about every poll like it was decree, and today, polls be damned, Oprah's spiritual advisor needs a shot.
Honestly though, I do hope it's an open convention, even though Harris looks like she's got backing from all angles.
Oh, Williamson can try. I don't begrudge her. She's just not gonna win because she's seen as the nutjob and has been since 2020.
Is she not? I remember her being pretty nutty.
Yeah she kinda cray cray.
I’ll be blunt: I don’t want someone who thinks “crystal energy fields” are a thing anywhere near the nuclear football. It was harrowing enough having the orange nutjob in charge of it for 4 years.
She says she’s never even owned a crystal, and the whole “crystal lady” thing is a media smear.
None of her books say anything about crystals.
Ok, I’ll be more blunt:
I don’t think a “spiritual advisor” has appropriate or pertinent experience to lead anything outside of a spiritual or religious organization.
That’s not the only thing on her résumé. Back in the ‘80s, she formed a charity for people with AIDS called Project Angel Food, and a lot of her support today comes from gay men who remember Project Angel Food.
Project Angel Food is still running today, but Williamson is no longer involved.
That's great and all, but the damage is done.
Yeah, the Democrats did a hatchet job on her. I’m actually surprised she’s still loyal to them.
What she’s doing now isn’t loyalty. It’s opportunism.
