    I’d never heard of this person until my wife suddenly started seeing so many pictures of her on Facebook that she asked me who it was… After I said I had no idea she proceeded to Google it and then told me her name… Which I promptly forgot.

    I don’t understand why they didn’t have Trump give it… like I’m not rooting for Trump and the GOP deserves to be in chaos, but Trump would have done an infinitly better job. Like “look at me, I’m your other choice. Here’s what I’m claiming to bring to the table.” Instead they gave us Senator Mrs. Whomever talking weird.

      I’m starting to wonder if they’re putting her in the limelight as setup for her being Trump’s VP pick.

      Simple, having Trump talk sensible would be impossible. So airing him directly after Biden would show how weak he is as a public speaker.

        I don’t think that matters to his constituents. They just want to see him on TV giving it to the libs.

          A lot of Republicans questioning Trump just lost their nominee. Showing him look like a fool is not in their best interest.

      Her manner of speaking reminds me of the sermons you get at ‘modern’/nondenominational churches here in the south. Just the way phrases are timed, the intonation, the need to make every minute factual statement sound emotionally profound…

      I have to wonder if she is consciously trying to speak in that way. I don’t know why they would think that was a good approach for a political speech lmao. It’s just so bizarre I can’t actually process it.

        It’s a good approach because their base is open to it. They are used to listening to that cadence and inflection with openness and willingness to swallow whatever poison is in the message, and that conditioning makes it so that the content doesn’t matter, only the delivery.

        I doubt she even recognizes that she’s doing it too. She’s just used to authority with a microphone speaking this way and so she does it too. It’s exactly how I used to be before I got out.

          Yep. The same bunch that would buy the qtarded conspiracy theories, or fall for Satanic panic, or that Jaysus is going to come back any day now and start up some bad fan-fic ala Left Behind is totally going to eat this drivel up with a spoon.

    If only there was a bipartisan border bill which consists of nothing but concessions from democrats. Katie’s one of the people who killed the bill.

    Please. I beg you people, do not drink psycho moms sweet tea. There’s something in that shit.

    There is something extremely creepy about her tone of voice and body language. One second it feels like she is trying to convince you that she is genuine but she tries too hard which immediately make you think she is faking it. All of a sudden she sounds angry in a very serious way which makes me think she is a psychopath and she about to stab me in the neck with an ice pick. My immediate instinctive reaction is to stop the video. Last time I was this creeped out was watching Anthony Hopkins’ performance in Silence of the Lamb. Of course that was just really good acting of a fictional character and this is a real life person which makes it even more disturbing.

    Didn’t hear what she had to say but a friend said is was definitely going to be the basis of SNL’s cold open this weekend.

    Remember, she only got the job because she’s one of Trump’s in-crowd. He’ll try to distance himself from this flop but he owns it.

    The absolute terrible acting here will not be picked up by the South. That very reflective Jesus Cross around her neck is an obvious prop. All the fake crying in the world won’t derail those people. Sickening.

      Fortunately, there are only a handful of states that actually have a chance to alter the outcome and several of those states will have a lot of conservatives going “wtf was that?” Ohio, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin are the four I expect would see the most suppressed republican voter turnout from this train wreck of a speech

        The general election is still eight months away. No one will remember this train wreck by then, since there’ll be all new ones.

          The decision to stay home on election day isn’t made of a single event. It’s a chain of them that demoralizes someone into apathy

      Deep south Louisiana here. Recognized the fake sincerity in both her awful “I’m a good Christian wifey” voice and her “fake fake fake concerned” facial expressions, the fake automated and often inappropriate smiles. Yuk.

      I’m sure this will fly right over the heads of Evangelical/Fundie idiots, because that’s all they’ve ever known. But those of us who’ve dipped our toe into the waters of a wider world are noticing, and we are not being fooled at all.

      Even some Republicans down here noticed…my neighbor asked me if I saw her “little talk in her kitchen” and called it a shit show. She’s not wrong, but I don’t think she even knows to what extent.

      Tens of millions of women are angered by the overthrow of abortion rights and her “mommy and wifey” as her primary role in society is going to anger them further. The Republican woman is being shown as submissive with little value to the party; she literally belongs in the kitchen! That’s a big no-no to many women, even some Republican ones.

    I mean it’s sad but predictable when your sanest member still sounds like a lunatic because that’s what the Republican party wants in their leaders.

    However I do understand what she was going for in the whole kitchen aesthetic, you know trying to connect with the old boomers that have kitchens talking about their “Kitchen Table” issues.

    This is what happens when Republicans try to seem like they are down home people instead of corporate shills. The cracks in the mask show
