She is clearly paying for her role in the Al Franken resignation.

Sanders Statement on Franken
Wednesday, December 6, 2017
WASHINGTON, Dec. 6 – Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) issued the following statement on Sen. Al Franken (D-Minn.):

"Sen. Franken has said that he will be making an announcement about his political future tomorrow. The right thing is for him to resign. We are now at a crossroads in American culture. And it is an important one. The way we treat women in our country has been abysmal in almost every way. We are finally addressing the issue of sexual harassment, and we need to get it right. But the conversation we are having now is only the tip of the iceberg. It needs to be an ongoing movement of women and men that includes a national discussion about sexism, sexual harassment, objectification, inequality and abuse of power."

I wish others received similar treatment.

So, she is bringing it up again, despite the obvious fact that it is not an issue that helps her.

This is what "clueless" looks like.

Her face turned bright red a couple times.

Joy as everyone who interviews her, was so nice to her while telling her she railroaded Al. Joy’s big statement , “I miss him”

Really edgy.
