All of a sudden there is all these posts about her again. Tucker even does segment on her. Seems to me she might be getting too good. So good some people are scared and are trying to take her out.
I stand with Joy.

(21,174 posts)They set a narrative, then light the fire. Al Franken, Hillarys emails, Benghazi, and the stupid stuff like the tan suit, or calling the cop kind of dumb who arrested the black professor At his home, and other stupid stuff.

(1,969 posts)The conservative playbook says that when a non-conservative becomes too influential, then you must attack them. Hard, and often.
Making up lies is a favorite tactic.
Finding something out from decades ago and embellishing so it seems much worse and is current, rather than decades old, is another tactic the cons use.
But out and out lies is their favorite. It works quite well. For example, if you ask most people they will say the republicans are fiscally responsible and the democrats aren't. Most people believe this because repubs and their bedfellows in most news rooms have been repeating this lie for decades.

This MO is straight from the nut-wingers play book. Swift boating but with the addition of russian bots. It's sick.
