or with a calm, fair debate. Their only hope is to make non- stop noise to cover-up the other side.

She was all scare-doggy in 2016 about "Electro-Magnetic Pulse" and how it would kill us all. (And of course it was Obama's fault.) I don't know what it had to do with the GOP, except it could be used to scare people. (Ironic that at that very moment, the US actually was under cyber-attack by Trump and his buddy.)

Anyway, the local women's group always needs speakers, and because she'd been a city official, and she had this brochure, they asked her to come talk about this. She was terrible. She had about 5 minutes worth of "information," and that was it, and knew nothing about electronics. And one woman was an engineer and was polite but asked a few questions that went beyond what the GOPer had read on Infowars.

It was embarrassing. Members of the club are still calling it the worst presentation we ever had.

But she did seem to think she could get by just on talking fast and loud and using scary words.

I just ran out to pick up something at the store. On the way home the Reverend she was debating crossed my mind. I was thinking that I haven't seen him on tv in some time. When I got home I turned on the tv and there they were talking over each other like mad.

So now I'll watch my recording and know to fast forward the segment. I really like him, though. Sounds like she doesn't know how to conduct herself and respectfully disagree without going all sideways.

Has been on MSNBC many times over the years and I think he even subbed for Ed Schultz at one point.

Whatever point she was trying to make was lost behind the crazed
rant. At first I was irritated, then astounded and amused.....

His last paraphrased comment to Wolf (when he asked about Melania/LeBron)... Remember, she was a birther, too.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Candace_Owens
Candace Owens (born 1989[1]) is an American conservative commentator and activist. She is known for her pro-Trump commentary and her criticism of Black Lives Matter and of the Democratic Party.[2][3][4] She is the Director of Urban Engagement at the conservative advocacy group Turning Point USA.

n 2007, while a senior in high school, she received hurtful and threatening racist phone calls that were traced to a car in which the 14-year-old son of then mayor Dannel Malloy was present.[6] Owens' family sued the Stamford Board of Education in federal court alleging that the city did not protect her rights, resulting in a $37,500 settlement.[6][7] ....

... After this, she earned the support of conservatives involved in the Gamergate controversy, including far-right conspiracy theorists and Trump supporters Milo Yiannopoulos and Mike Cernovich.[5] After this, Owens became a conservative, saying in 2017, "I became a conservative overnight... I realized that liberals were actually the racists. Liberals were actually the trolls... Social Autopsy is why I’m conservative" ....

In April 2018, Kanye West tweeted "I love the way Candace Owens thinks." ....
