But yesterday, I happened to watch a few minutes of her interview on Steve Bannon’s podcast, and to my utter astonishment she said something which made me think that perhaps I have her and what is said about her by the Fake News media to be all wrong.

She was explaining why she is trying to throw Mike Johnson out of the Speaker’s chair in the House, along with voting against the money which will now go to Israel and Ukraine to buy munitions that both countries need in order top keep fighting their wars.
