It was written for her by the left to take down Trump.

If she really cared about her fellow students, she would go after the teachers union.

Basically people calling her a fraud.

Thankfully though, most people are praising her. But the ugly tweets seem to come in waves.

They brainwash students and dont educate them.

Some of these people on twitter, look to be the old russian thing, fake accounts.

Most the negative comments, seem to use the same wording from different accounts.

I did a little twitter digging and did see some of those loons saying that her speech was written for her and she is a tool of the left wing, etc. Pretty weak, if you ask me.

Thankfully most folks are giving her rave reviews.

And is smart enough to know that if he attacks a victim of the shooting it will drive even more people away. It will be the lowest moment of 2 years of low moments.

She also know how thin skinned he is and it is very likely he will do exactly as she hopes.
