The historical ignorance shown in her comparison of Black Lives Matter to a terrorist and racist organization that oppressed people of color through burning, shooting, beating and killing makes me angry even as I type the words today.

And listening to her “I’m allowed” speech on this video makes me want to gag. Looking back, I am surprised I managed to keep it civil.

I cannot even start to imagine how angry someone whose ancestors were victims of Klan terror might feel to see and hear her recklessly tweeting such words and then acting all righteous in defending them.

You throw gasoline on the fires of the culture wars the way she does, you can’t be surprised when someone tries to throw water in your face and insult you.
