33. No, I won't. It seems like most of the "please cut her some slack" are coming from men.

Gee, I wonder why.

It is rank hypocrisy to criticize Erika Kirk while giving this woman a pass when arguably her politics were even worse.

It is okay she spewed hate toward immigrants, toward other women, toward gays, toward ethnic groups and we should all overlook it because she was so "hot" when she was young.

That is really what this apologia for a vile human being is about.
