She’s right. People shouldn’t call her a “stupid American.” Her being American has nothing to do with it. She’s just stupid.

Lol, thanks for the laugh 😂

This is funnier than when I said to a couple of 40 year olds that yes, Lincoln was the first Republican president. The “wait, what?” out of them was priceless.
