As long as you're consistent, but damn, that's surprising. Are you ok with her shooting puppies too? As long as it's in her own time, right? Doesn't impact her reading talking points, rightNope believing in THE BIG LIE instantly disqualifies them from any government office. Karine Jean-Pierrehe's belief about 2016 is a personal opinion. THE BIG LIE is a political rallying cry for insane anti-democratic forces and insurrectionists and having someone in that position gives those loons credibility they shouldn't have. Also committing animal abuse and holding an opinion are two different things.
Ok. What if she said, as an adult, that dog fighting is awesome and that Michael Vick is a cool guy for participating in said activities. Would that opinion disqualify her for the job? No laws have been broken. It's just a personal opinion, right? No. That's silly, and you know it, so quit it. I'm really surprised that you're sitting here saying that you are fine with election deniers being in such positions. Yes, the Trump election denials were even worse, but so many people on the other side of the aisle questioning the results of the 2016 election was also a pretty decent blow to trust in the electoral system and the democratic process, so let's not act like that all had zero impact.
