corporate attorney and we know what folks think of corporate attorneys.
Funny, she didn't say she that her work as a corporate attorney was largely representing the interests of marginalized tribal nations. Or that she worked on entrepreneurship for the Pine Ridge reservation. Or that she was a White House Fellow in the Obama administration where she worked on civil rights and opportunity issues - or any of the other truly progressive things that Sharice has devoted her entire career to doing.
No, she just dismissed her as a "corporate attorney" and nothing else, obviously for the purpose of suggesting that she was a sellout. And you know that just as well as I do.
So, nice try, Boo, but my point stands.
