Jan 2019

in her Statement of Candidacy filed with the FEC in 2017, her address was in Knoxville Tennessee!

WOW! That's very interesting. I have to say, that it makes me uncomfortable to see any candidate or politician so closely associated with a group as disgusting as Cenk Uygur's "Justice Democrats" and other malcontents. (And you know... even their name is insulting! Justice Democrats, bah! Fuck that shit! The implication, of course, is that "regular" Democrats and the Democratic party lack justice. That's offensive.)
