Just was reading about this, the GOP would paint whackjob all over this. sunonmars Jul 2020 #8

The gop is in no position to pronounce "wackjob" marybourg Jul 2020 #21

I agree, but their position on "wack jobs" is irrelevant politically. Caliman73 Jul 2020 #40

Why would they do that $cientology is very supportive of Trump and the GOP tenderfoot Jul 2020 #64

They will do it under the guise of a progressive SlogginThroughIt Jul 2020 #72

Oh shit. Yes. PCIntern Jul 2020 #11

If true, this is an absolute NO! A real deal breaker Stinky The Clown Jul 2020 #12

Its true, its on the scientology website as I wanted to check for truth, she was there and said it sunonmars Jul 2020 #13

Anybody who supports an evil cult like that doesn't even belong in public office much less 50 Shades Of Blue Jul 2020 #24

Deal Breaker. sarcasmo Jul 2020 #25

She does nothing for me, anyway, Sogo Jul 2020 #26

I have zero trust in anyone praising $cientology Miguelito Loveless Jul 2020 #27

Does she support her constituents or the church? Is this Republican bullshit? dem4decades Jul 2020 #28

It sure is mcar Jul 2020 #29

No doubt this came from a leak courtesy of the same old white guys as the Harris leaks. hedda_foil Jul 2020 #62

Yes. Mme. Defarge Jul 2020 #30

I Don't See How Biden Selects Bass over Kamala Harris Who To Me is More Qualified Indykatie Jul 2020 #31

Yes, it is a non-starter Bettie Jul 2020 #32

my lunch group who met yesterday in a park here so we could social distance.... a kennedy Jul 2020 #33

Bass is the anyone-but-Kamala candidate pushed by CA and Beltway Dems who don't like Harris BeyondGeography Jul 2020 #34

She should be asked outright for her current position DFW Jul 2020 #35

Scientology would be an absolute "NO" for me csziggy Jul 2020 #36

Uh oh- not clear- is she a Scientologist, or just gave a speech praising them? Nt Fiendish Thingy Jul 2020 #37

They're both disqualifying. PTWB Aug 2020 #88

It isn't as though SHE is a Scientologist. Politicians not infrequently provide "polite" praise to hlthe2b Jul 2020 #38

Do you have any source besides Scientology itself? Beaverhausen Jul 2020 #54

The Daily Caller originally dug it up JonLP24 Jul 2020 #59

so Daily Caller and Daily Beast quoting Scientology Beaverhausen Jul 2020 #60

I mean, there's video. Drunken Irishman Jul 2020 #68

I wouldn't put it past Scientology to do that. They have a very sophisticated propaganda network. Beaverhausen Jul 2020 #71

She hasn't denied the video. nt pnwmom Aug 2020 #90

Yep, this is a deal-breaker. Dagstead Bumwood Jul 2020 #56
