Marianne Williamson's tweets say a lot

https://news.avclub.com/enjoy-this-sampling-of-presidential-candidate-marianne-1835941994

Peacock feathers are created by peacocks eating thorns. Every thorn you have eaten can become a peacock feather too. #fb

God is BIG, swine flu SMALL. See every cell of your body filled with divine light. Pour God's love on our immune systems. Truth protects.

Imagine every war zone invaded by legions of angels. All of a sudden, no one can even imagine hurting another human being.

Your mind is like an airplane, and YOU are the pilot: Rise above the clouds. Fly above the turbulence. Seek a smoother ride.

"[President Trump is] going to be beaten by somebody who has an idea what this man has done. ... You have harnessed fear for political purposes and only love can cast that out," Williamson said later. "So I, sir, I have a feeling you know what you're doing. I'm going to harness love for political purposes. I will meet you on that field. And, sir, love will win."

She was trying to walk back the anti-vaxx remarks she'd been spewing.Apparently that the efficacy of vaccines needed to be debated. She got a bunch of shit for her remarks so she went on CNN and said vaccines were okay but she didn't trust CDC scientists because they're owned by big pharma. Straight up anti-vaxx, Robert J. Kennedy Jr. propaganda. It was disgusting.

and I apologize if I took your statement wrong.. but you have to agree there is way too much snark in this particular thread about Williamson. It is really beginning to trouble me, so I am overly sensitive. I guess I expect the posters here to refrain from employing their considerable editorial talents against our own.

I am sick and tired of our Dems forming circular firing squads at the drop of a hat. We all need to stand together... no matter what... if we are going to defeat the obscenity in the WH.
