Karen Bass in 2010 at a ribbon-cutting for a Scientology church: "That is why the words are exciting of your Founder L. Rob Hubbard...The Church of Scientology I know has made a difference, because your creed is a universal creed and one that speaks to all people everywhere"

Scientology is really bad. They aren’t just kooks, they’ve really hurt people. I don’t want anyone quack-adjacent in the WH. No anti-vaxxers, no QAnon. Democrats need to institute zero-tolerance on this. We’ve already lost one party to it.

I mean I get it 100%. But we also did just nominate a guy who eulogized storm Thurmond who ran for president on a racial segregation, but we forgave Biden (rightfully so!) just seems like we don’t extend the same forgiveness to women, especially someone as legit badass as bass

Maybe if I were totally sold on Bass I’d dismiss it, but it just feels different to me. This isn’t controversial, it’s nutty, and I feel like that’s much worse. We need to stop tolerating ppl like Marianne Williamson. We have an epidemic of crazy in this country.

We need to stop “tolerating people like Marianne Williamson” ??? What we need to stop “tolerating” is self-righteous, ignorant, condescending, bigoted commentary by someone who would casually mock someone who they clearly know nothing about.

Lol you ran for president. You were on the national debate stage. You're definitely not someone we "clearly know nothing about." It's not a casual mock, I'd say pretty legit. No more crazy in this country.

You’re right, I did run for president. But you’re wrong to think you know much of anything about me. Smears smear. And no more “crazy” in this country? What do you want to do, put people you think are “crazy” away somewhere? That’s an age old misogynistic trope, by the way.

Do you just sit around searching your name being mentioned? That's a serious bummer.

No, but people send me things & I don’t not respond anymore. AOC had something to do with that, actually. She’s very inspiring that way. She responds to really hateful stuff & at this point I think every woman should. Letting bullshit stay in the air doesn’t always dissolve it.

Calling out pseudoscience isn’t “bigotry” lol.

I don’t have a problem with that. But I’ve never supported “pseudoscience,” so my point remains. The idea of body/mind/ spirit medicine is hardly pseudoscience. This is 2020, not 1979.

Marianne is 1,000 times better choice than Biden at this moment. Dems are total hypocrites in how they treat their own. Shame.

Biden stans are trash, we should have figured this out after that quiz where it is completely impossible to tell trump or Biden quotes apart 🙄

Omg, lol. I’m NOBODY. Did you seriously name search yourself and get offended became some random person who usually gets 2 likes on her posts doesn’t approve of you?
