This isn’t complicated, she is a nut and a liar!
True that. A PHD who doesn’t know how to google “how to contact a senator.”
For all her ‘education’ and experience there is no justification for her VERY casual and irresponsible processing of ‘facts’
And to expect every listener to be JUST as casual and irresponsible with facts is frankly, an insult
Children do this naturally and routinely... then they grow up and comprehend REALITY
