Marianne Williamson, visiting Sioux City yoga studio, calls Trump an 'opportunistic infection'

SIOUX CITY -- Fresh off an appearance at the Democratic debate Thursday night in Miami, presidential hopeful Marianne Williamson brought her spiritual campaign to Sioux City Saturday afternoon.

"We have to unleash the spirit of the American people," Williamson told a crowd of about 25 gathered at Evolve Yoga, 411 Pearl St.

Williamson, 66, an author of 13 books (several of them bestsellers in the self-help category), a lecturer and progressive activist, has been trying to sell herself to primary voters as the candidate to beat President Trump in the 2020 election.

Williamson made a highly publicized move to a condo in Des Moines earlier this month as a way of showing her commitment to the state and the political process. She has scheduled several campaign events in Cedar Rapids and Baldwin, Iowa, Sunday, followed by another Cedar Rapids event July 14.

Commitment to science, evidence and rational thought?

She is silver tongued, appealing to fears and to those devastated in guilt and sin. Nothing sensible.

Opposed to vaccines, opposed to climate change evidence, opposed to evolution science--flirts with creationists/intelligent design-ists, flirts with flat earthers, flirts with conspiracy theories--when her 'feelings' tell her so. "All you need is love", eh?

She has no clue as to how to implement a policy--policy?, what's that? Garner support based on facts and reason arguments? Trusts her gut? We already have one of these in the WH.
