Did she seriously get that wrong?

Wow, like not even a little bit right.
Wow. Jesus fucking Christ.
That’s what to get when you hire a bunch of influencers.
I saw someone phrasing it like:
Why do they have the opposite effect on me. Everything about her makes my skin crawl.
what a remarkably fucking dumb bitch, I wish I could hit her with a piss bottle
Open it slightly before the pitch, of course
Same. These people are morons.
It's the opposite of right. It's meant to prevent the thing she thinks it is.
"Habeas Corpus is that bad thing Trump wants to get rid of. How dare you question him. You get habeas corpus!"
The second part is scarier: "I also recognize that the President of the United States has the authority under the Constitution to decide if it should be suspended or not."
She believes that the president doesn't have to do what he swore to do.
I just cried a little
What in the living fuck. Even I know how wrong that is off the top of my head.
Well, the question wasn't about killing a difficult puppy, so how could she be expected to be an expert!? What's her job again...?
She didn't get it wrong at all, that's far too generous. She fucking lied as to her understanding. Now MAGA has something to repeat. FOX will pick this up, and ever so slightly work it into their talking points. They won't outright lie, they'll be subtle and get the meme across. I've seen them do this shit for 20 years!
We street urchins and the media alike have to quit giving these people the benefit of the doubt. (Not saying you did OP!)
Does anyone really think she's stupid?! No one of substandard intelligence rises that high. Yes, her boss started at slightly lower than average, but money and a talent for self-promotion speaks loudly. And yes, attractiveness speaks loudly, but that takes real work and you'll find stupid people mostly look stupid.
Even MTG is probably "bright normal" like me. When we bag on these people for being stupid I think we're forgetting just how stupid average is. Allow me to rant.
I'm the guy always talking about working at Lowe's, garden center, rocket science. Started college in honors, remedial math. Literally called MATH 1001. Hardly anyone I work with, including my customers, can do basic addition and multiplication in their head. Had to pull 150 bricks today, pallet holds 126, how many do I need to add? Oh, and a layer holds 3 x 6 bricks, how high to stack it and how many extra, if any, on top? Customer wants 30 bags of mulch, everyone starts counting as we toss it in the truck. "Just make 6 stacks of 5." HUH? Told a dozen customers, "I'm not smart enough to keep count, I multiply."
How many people do we think are average or lower intelligence on lemmy? But it's 1%, if that.
