“AEI executives said that Donnelly is the same person with the same principles”
obviously that is not true.
Donnelly’s principles and thought process must have changed - or he wouldn’t have changed his name and gender/appearance to look like a female instead of the male he is.
For the other members of group to accept this is showing their own lack of integrity, morals, values,etc.
And he hid it for years..what else did he hide?
