At first, I truly thought the “outrage” from journalists towards Michelle Wolf was performative. As in, I thought journalists were just pretending to be terribly offended by her jokes so that they could protect their sources within the administration, and clearly one of their big sources is Sarah Huckabee Sanders. But after the White House Correspondents’ Dinner controversy raged on well past it’s media cycle, I realized something awful: it wasn’t just performative outrage. Journalists really were and are mad at Michelle Wolf for speaking truth to power. Wolf didn’t tell any lies about Donald Trump, or Republican leadership, or Hillary Clinton, or White House employees. And she certainly didn’t lie about how the media created and then catered to Trump because his presidency has been good for their business. That’s why media figures were mad: in a set that lasted less than 20 minutes, Michelle Wolf destroyed and exposed everyone in the room. And she’s not sorry. Some highlights from Wolf’s NPR interview yesterday:
On how Sarah Huckabee Sanders didn’t stand for the awards part of the WHCD: “I also think that if you – another part of the dinner that wasn’t televised is they were giving out awards and everyone was standing to congratulate the people who were getting awards and Sarah was sitting… CNN reporters got awards, I cannot remember the exact award they got, but they came up to accept them and she sat the whole time, while we all stood and shook their hands. I would say if this is about celebrating the media she wasn’t there to celebrate the media.
Whether she was surprised by how her set was received: “I wasn’t expecting this level, but I’m also not disappointed there’s this level. I knew what I was doing going in. I wanted to do something different. I didn’t want to cater to the room. I wanted to cater to the outside audience, and not betray my brand of comedy. I actually, a friend of mine who helped me write, he gave me a note before I went on which I kept with me which was, “Be true to yourself. Never apologize. Burn it to the ground.”
She’s proud of what she did: “I mean, I’m honestly – I wouldn’t change a single word that I said. I’m very happy with what I said, and I’m glad I stuck to my guns.
She thinks people expected her to be “nice”: “Yeah, I mean, I think I don’t know maybe I’m projecting this, but I think sometimes they look at a woman and they think “Oh, she’ll be nice,” and if you’ve seen any of my comedy you know that I don’t – I’m not. I don’t pull punches. I’m not afraid to talk about things. And I don’t think they expected that from me. I think they still have preconceived notions of how women will present themselves and I don’t fit in that box.
I’m glad she’s not backing down or apologizing, even if the White House Correspondents’ Association is backing down and apologizing on her behalf. She did nothing wrong. She did everything right. She spoke truth to power. It was uncomfortable and savage and obscene and that’s what Trump and his enablers wrought.

Queen!
Superstar!
This is the making of her. She’s on her way to becoming one of the greats do to this. The larger the backlash gets, the more assured her future success is.
It’s perfect timing with her Netflix show about to debut, also. She went from “Michelle Who?” to “She’s one of the best comedians of our time and I can’t wait to see her show!” in one day. Good for her.
Love her. My favorite part of her set ,was her telling the press How they LOVED Donald Trump and THEY created or helped create this Monster! She said what so many have thought but have no access to a microphone on the world stage.
I’m a new Michelle Wolf fan for life!
I am so impressed by that part too. I didn’t understand the bipartisan backlash until just now as I finally listed to the whole thing. That. is. why. everyone. is mad. She said the truth. 10 thumbs up!
Me also! She was terrific.
Good, she shouldn’t. Don’t apologize to these a**holes.
yup. as Dave Chappelle said, “she didn’t pander to ANYBODY”…she didn’t.
and I love her for it.
she shouldn’t have to apologize for saying truthful things, even if they hurt some feelings. oh, poor thing, she made you uncomfortable by calling you out on your lies, or your complicity, or your desperation for ratings over the truth? GOOD. BE uncomfortable, and think about it, and squirm. maybe you’ll do better.
and anyone who didn’t have outrage about 45 mocking a disabled reporter, and still voted for him after that?…YOU DON’T HAVE ANY RIGHT TO BE OUTRAGED, or demand an apology from her. 45 mocked someone for their disability. All Wolf did was speak the truth.
Dave Chappelle’s comments were amazing. He got it, even if the WHCA did not.
Interesting how instead of focusing on the issues the content of her speech contained, the press as a whole has decided to spin this as bitchy comedian attacking another woman on her looks???! It’s almost as if they want you to see it as a silly girl fight and the “liberal media” standing up to a liberal to defend ALL women including conservative women.
I remember them trashing Cobert just as horribly but then also discussing the content of his criticism. Nicole Wallace’s Deadline White House on MSNBC was the only News Show who was like, ‘a comedian points out the fact that Sarah Sanders is a liar who lies for her pathological liar boss to fool the American public and you are outraged?’ Yeah and Nicole Wallace is a Republican who everyday points out how crooked and horrible the Trump WH is. That’s actual feminism, holding both men and women equally responsible for being A-holes.
I agree. She doesn’t need to and shouldn’t apologize to anyone for her performance.
Having said that, I didnt think she was all that funny. I didn’t laugh at her jokes because I thought they were offensive. I didn’t laugh at her jokes because I just found them to be unfunny. I didnt mind her “attacks” on anyone but just felt her jokes fell flat.
Oh, I do think there are apologies to be made.
I want all those a**holes to apologize to Ann Dowd for insinuating that Wolf’s comparison of SHS to Dowd’s character on Handmaid’s Tale was making fun of Suckabee’s looks. That is what I am outraged about because Dowd is a fanfreakintastic actress and a lovely looking woman.
All of those folks who came to Sarah’s defense are just telling on themselves. THEY are the ones who think that she is unattractive. So they assume that jokes about her are about her looks.
THANK YOU FOR SAYING THIS.
Ann Dowd is actually quite lovely (I wish this didn’t matter though). She is also a total professional with impeccable diction who, by all accounts, is an extremely nice person.
Also, Aunt Lydia on “The Handmaid’s Tale” actually seems to live by her principles (however misguided and terrible they are) so, really, Sarah Huckabee Sanders is a few steps behind her on the morality scale.
this
Yep, don’t back down.
I think the press is using the SHS joke as a bait and switch, IMO what the media is really angry about is that Michelle Wolf called them out and called attention to their LOVE of Donald Trump ratings, money he brings them commercially and how they threw away journalistic integrity to help create this mess.
“Be true to yourself. Never apologize. Burn it to the ground.”
Love that and love her.
Amen, Neelyo. Good for her – both for speaking truth to power and for refusing to back down.
I kind of want to make a painting of that and put it on my wall.
I might get another tat…….lol.
I was thinking something similar. Print it out & bring it to work.
I want to cross stitch that and put it on a pillow.
Funny how Trump and his cohorts can dish it out, but are unable to take it. Whiny snowflake crybabies!
Just substitute “Hillary Clinton” for “Sarah Huckabee Sanders” and they’ll be totally OK with it!
You cannot be serious. They’ve said faaaaaaaar worse about Hillary. The worst that Wolf said about Sanders was that she used lies for eye make-up and compared her to a propagandist in a fictional book.
Please don’t make me provide insults about Hillary to prove you wrong, because there is so much out there and a lot of it involves crude words for women and their body parts.
@Tiffany I think she meant the MAGA crowd would be completely fine and even cheered if Wolfe had slammed Hillary’s looks instead of her jokes criticizing SHS’s ethics/morals.
Ah, yes. My interpretation was totally off! Sorry about that. I’m a jackass sometimes. 😉
Thanks @bma! Yes that’s exactly what I meant
Um….so we’re not going to talk about her racist tweets?
Whatever is on Twitter, doesn’t change that she was spot on Saturday night. The press in this country is part of the problem and I’m glad she called them to task; they’ve enabled Trump from the beginning because ratings!!
I agree with you on that but I also think it is important to call people out on their racism.
Setting it aside is to say it isn’t important.
I don’t know about you but I can do both. Agree on something and also call people out.
Yeah, it actually does change everything. Racism isn’t going to be overlooked because she said some not nice words to some not nice people.
Nn, the OP of that LSA thread is a major trumpster with an agenda, just FYI. That being said, thanks for the heads up, Ms Wolf will be getting none of my support. Very disappointing, yet not surprising.
Now I’m wondering if internet crawlers have archived her other tweets she deleted? I’m sure internet sleuths will be on it in the next few days.
Edit: this was a response to Nn, don’t know why it’s here.
Let’s talk about them. What are they?
Quick Google search turns up nothing so yeah….
I’m waiting to hear, too.
You can see them here if you don’t find them on twitter or google.
https://www.lipstickalley.com/threads/michelle-wolf-called-serena-a-man.1567529/
She has not denied this btw, in fact she deleted thousands of tweets before going to the WH dinner. Those tweets are real. There is more on the dailyfail link.
I was just surprised no one mentioned them, although I shouldn’t be since liberal racism usually gets a pass and no one takes racism against BW seriously, especially when the person doing it is a white female.
I just thought people should know about them and I also find them bizarre seeing as Michelle Wolf is not conventionally attractive and looks older than her age (I can’t believe she is only 32!! I thought she was in her late 40s at the very least) so you’d think she would have some sensitivity when it comes to going after someone else’s looks.
That’s disappointing, especially because the other race-based tweet is clearly a jab at how dumb and reductive racism is as a performative behavior. I’d hope deleting it was a sign of remorse, but an acknowledgement and apology would’ve been better.
Ugh noooooo. Serena of all people, too. Sigh. WW. 🙁
Like I said, she deleted thousands of tweets that I am sure were worse but this is one they managed to find since she was so quick to delete.
Some say she had horrible racist tweets that were not meant to be jokes.
It is disappointing but important to acknowledge and be aware of.
“I wouldn’t change a single word that I said,” said the woman who deleted thousands of tweets to cover up her bigotry.
… calling Serena a man isn’t racist. It’s actually a pretty common insult (or compliment depending on the sport) hurled at female athletes. So thanks, troll, for trying. Go back to fox.
Which is the racist tweet?
Well that’s disappointing.
Agree, very disappointing.
Sorry but one is not related to the other. If Michelle is a racist, this thread is not the place to discuss that. I don’t like shifting attention from her truths and facts that she stated at the WHCD and instead pointing to her racism while in the process push Trump, SHS et al despicable behavior and batcrap lies into the background and shinning the light on Michelle and attempt to shame her. Its like the Trumpsters do all the time “oh Trump is a liar and a racist but lets talk about Hillary Clinton emails”, no thanks. Like, “Michelle, who does she think she is, calling out SHS, Trump et al on their lies and hideous behavior yet she posts racist tweets?” These are two irrelevant topics. Michelle posting racist comments on twitter (hideous) doesn’t negate the fact that she told truths about SHS, Trump, the Republicans, and all the media and she called them out on their hypocrisy.Please let the focus stay on this for once, then we can call Michelle out on her racism in another thread.
They are related, because people are lionizing a woman who is, to put it mildly, problematic. What else did she say in those thousands of tweets she deleted (which was a cowardly move, by the way.)
People aren’t “lionizing” her anymore than you are lionizing Huckabee Sanders down-thread.
@MASAMF
This x 1000
Word
Both can exist in one person: speaking truth to power as well as being racist/sexist/xenophobic. To me, that just means you are free to call her out on her previous comediac past in interviews. Similar to how Trevor Noah was called out about his tweets of the past before hosting the Daily show and he learned. Whose show she used to be on. But again, this calls for the press to do their research before interviewing her as well as being educated about the negative depictions of Black Women. They can barely take her main stream criticism objectively…
Thank you. I was not aware of that all. Disgusting. Whats with white female comedians and their racism? Who of them isnt?
Not excusing any racist tweets but she is not white but clearly Black or of mixed race. Not sure why this is controversial but I’m so intrigued by how she’s being read here…
Um, what?? She is not “clearly black” at all.
Do you have any evidence that she is mixed? And no, it would not excuse any of it.
It’s especially funny (bizarre?) because Michelle Wolf called herself white at the WHCD.
Edit: She is a self described white jewish woman.
There ya go.
@Nn Haha. Even some white supremacists call themselves white but when the DNA tests come out…! This country…. smdh Of course she can identify and self-describe however she wants.
She said what no one whose job it actually is to say, has so far failed or refused to say. This could only bolster her career, because the people who are most offended by her speech here, aren’t the ones who regularly partake of her work.
And personally, after a weekend of being called a snowflake by one of my dumbass cousins (who swears he has proof Obama is in the Muslim Brotherhood 🙄🙄🙄 because the national guard is privvy to all Intel, I guess?) all because I had the audacity to point out he should check facts and stop saying things like “Obama and Hillary deserve the firing squad for their crimes, and I’d like to pull the trigger,” it’s refreshing to see some of these assholes called out to their own faces. Couldn’t happen to a nicer, better bunch.
Do we have the same cousin!? To be fair, mine usually doubles down with some sort of anti-Semitic George Sorros BS, but still
If your cousin is a regular, garden-variety racist who thinks he’s a “freethinker” because he hated Dubya and all Democrats, and is still mad a black man was a two-term president then…maybe? 🤷🏻
Maybe you should report him to the FBI for threats issued to those politicians.
I told him if he kept sending me things that said that, I would report him. He thought I meant to Facebook. Idiot. I wound up deleting him and a couple others for similar things. And I looked into what constitutes a threat to the president. If I understand correctly, one would have to prove that there is intent behind the threat? But he’s so arrogant, as are his parents and siblings, that they could be interviewed by someone checking this whole thing out and completely wind up idioting themselves into fines and/or jail time. I’m still looking further into it, because for 8 long years, and now two more, it’s been the same racist, hateful bs. And as for reporting anything to Facebook, I’ve done that in the past, two people who straight up used the n word in posts. As far as I know, nothing happened to them (they weren’t people I know.) So I trust Facebook as much as I trust Chester Cheeto.
She was awesome.
If people didn’t find some of her jokes funny – that’s fine. Whatever. Different senses of humor, etc.
But the level of vitriol being aimed at her because she was “indecent” or whatever is just ridiculous.
I like what Jake Tapper said on PSA – if we want to have a discussion on decency, that’s fine. but the trump administration and supporters have a long way to go in that discussion before we get to the WHCD.
Wish I knew the friend’s name so that I can attribute the quote I most definitely will be using to the correct source.
“Be true to yourself. Never apologize. Burn it to the ground.” this and “Here’s to the women who come to napalm the room apologetically.” are my two new inner pep talks.
i’m so happy she’s not apologizing. i watched her HBO special a month or so ago and was surprised that she was chosen for the WHCD; she’s amazingly raunchy. that abortion joke was tough but it was AMAZING.
go michelle. you’re making us proud.
I didnt listen to this but how is a joke about abortion amazing? How is abortion even a joke.?People are free to think what they want but abortion as a joke is not good in my mind..
Her abortion joke was mocking the hypocrisy of the right to be against abortion except for their mistresses. Which, is true.
So maybe listen before you judge? It’s not really a joke about abortion, it’s a joke about how the right seems to think that if abortion is legal women will be rushing to have them-you know, how everyone is always super pumped to have surgery, and they’ll get pregnant just to have abortions. That’s the joke, not at all hard to understand. Unless you don’t actually want to. Which, it would seem, many people don’t.
I hadn’t heard it, but just read it.
she made reference to the GOP/conservative jerks who preach and legislate against it while asking (or forcing) their mistresses to get one. she was calling out their (never ending) hypocrisy.
truth to power.
lulachloe I was not judging. I was replying to a comment someone made. And she gave me an answer without judging me.
Abortion wasn’t THE joke, it was part of the joke. The actual joke there: the hypocrisy of conservative politicians who run on anti-abortion platforms while privately demanding abortions of their secret lovers.
She was referencing Republican Tim Murphy
Not attacking but explaining. She is making a blunt point about how Republicans are all “abortion is a sacred, horrible act of murder”. When in reality a good lot of them in their secret life with their mistresses treat it like it’s no big deal and go all butcher Bob’ about ripping out fetuses. It’s distasteful but true as has been shown. They are hypocrites who repeat Evangelical preaching in public while laughing and rolling their eyes in private.
But how is saying abortion is not good as a joke not a judgement? I mean, you get to decide what is funny, not anyone else-but words having meaning and saying something is not good=judgement.
(((insert eye roll))) Goodness the people on this thread, seriously, take a look at your Commander 45 and then think about how we are descending at his helm into The Handmaid’s Tale
I thought it was hilarious, good for her!
She shouldn’t back down
Good. Can’t stand the heat, get out of office.
To quote…the not so great Nene Leakes….
“I SAID…WHAT I SAID!!”
She has nothing to apologize for. I love how she confidently stood up there, spoke the truth, and “burned it down”. And she was funny. She did an amazing job. So proud of her.
I love it when a woman stands by her truthful unapologetic words. They wouldn’t have treated a man like this, yet as a woman she’s been dragged. Imagine if it were John Oliver (love btw) who said everything she did verbatim. Would he have gotten this kind of backlash?
Donald is a press Maverick, he knows exactly what to say and do and the press goes crazy.
Michelle you keep doing you! I got some of my best laughs this year from you.
No apology is necessary. Michelle Wolf, please hold the line.
Loved it
I was just able to listen to her whole speech. It was funny and she told no lies. I don’t know what all the pearl clutching is about as this is supposed to be a roast. Where is the indecency? Flint still doesn’t have clean water, children are still being killed in schools, the current administration is being subpoena’d all over the place but she’s indecent?? Sure-ok. Glad she didn’t apologize, and if they don’t like it, they can kick rocks.
She was friggen fantastic. I couldn’t stop laughing when I heard it. All the babies are running for their pacifiers, because someone made fun of them. Boo hoo. These cranky people need to GTFU!
It’s BS, the dumpster can say whatever he wants about anybody, and never once issue an apology, but the minute someone says something these people don’t like, that probably hits too close to home for them, the sh*t hits the fan!
Absolutely true. Trump has said insulting, outright nasty, profane things to pretty much everyone in his path for over a year now. It’s a daily thing. Does anyone remember the “President” yelling on a football field during the “taking a knee” uproar? He said “Get that son of a bitch off the field!”. So dignified. Where is the outrage over Trump’s ugly mouth?
@EscapedConvent:
Exactly! It’s pretty scary all of the people that are still in support of him. His behavior is atrocious. I could be wrong , but I don’t ever remember a person in the WH ever behaving this way. He’s a total embarrassment to this country. He is completely mentally unstable.
I’ve been trying to understand what she said that was so offensive. I wasn’t offended at all. In fact, I thought she went easy on them. Much worse has been said there. I don’t know—-maybe my “offense meter” is broken.
Or maybe those comments were too much for the crowd because a woman said them.
This. She has nothing to apologize for jeesus. A comedian made uncomfortable jokes, how bizarre. I didn’t laugh at her jokes only because the shit is too real, and my resting sad face has turned bitchy the past year-and-a-half. It’s hard to get me to laugh about anything relating to current events. But the backlash is what’s angering. How can an entire administration escape any backlash, but a 20-minute roast job has people gasping for air and clutching pearls??? I mean…W.T.F???
“my resting sad face has turned bitchy” <– perfect summation of women living in the U.S.A. between 2016 and 2018.
I think the press got called out by her and they are mad, so using the SHS joke as ammo.
Also the press wants to keep their access to SHS.
Considering Trumpsters have shirts that say “f-ck your feelings,” I’m not here for their outrage over a Maybeline joke.
And no, SHS doesn’t have class, Trumpsters. Classy people don’t whine like this. Now Michelle Obama, who put up with 8 years of being called monkey, and a dude, all while not responding, that is class.
I don’t hear Sanders whining. What has she said exactly?
She couldn’t take the joke as she sat their stone-faced the entire time. One commentator on TV that evening commented on how you roll with it, even if you are the subject of the barbs. She did not.
Maybe she did not understand what a roast is. The real shame, IMO, is that her bosses (the two top men) could not be bothered to show up, sit on stage and deliver their own jokes in rebuttal.
Yes, Mrs Obama put up with a heroic level of patience.
“…she wasn’t there to celebrate the media.”
Uh, neither was Wolf.
Check Sanders’ Facebook
No and she said as much. Wolf was hired to roast the media, not to kiss their ass. I do think that’s different than a WHPS who has an obligation to at least maintain a basic-level, respectful working relationship with the WHPC and other journalists.
Then Sanders fulfilled her obligation. She was there, she was respectful.
Nope. Please try again.
A White House Press Secretary’s sole obligation isn’t to show up in the President’s place because he’s too fragile to deal with being ribbed by a comedian. Her job is to facilitate an open line of communication between the Executive branch and the Press Corps. Her role is to answer questions in a fair and truthful way, not to parrot lies to protect the President’s crimes and not to flat-out refuse to answer questions that she doesn’t like.
Additionally, not standing up during the awards, shows a lack of professionalism and basic decorum. Not that I would expect anything more from these utterly reprehensible people.
Yes this and the only comments from the media that I think are helpful are the ones which say maybe in this climate they need to cancel the roast part, especially considering part of the roast is to the President who doesn’t show. Michelle was what they normally do and was good, but without the President’s rebuttal part of the roast and just Sarah Sanders dower face it just isn’t the same.
Michelle did her job so they should all shut up about that though.
Because she is so insulting to journalists in her job, I wouldn’t have had much sympathy had there actually been derogatory jokes about her looks. I don’t know what people watched, but I saw the 20-minute “roast” live.
Sullen faced Sarah just couldn’t take any criticism of her performance. And the media fed the narrative for two days, which is highly disappointing.
“She (Sanders) was there, she was respectful.”
Was she, though? When Wolf says that Sanders refused to stand for journalists receiving awards for their work, do you think that is respectful?
No she was there to call the media on its bullshit and she isn’t denying it.
Was it David Chappell who compared her to George Carlin? That in itself is the best compliment one could get.
I told a friend of mine who complained about it, “Would he look back at a comedian who dragged the crap out of Hitler back in the day?” When you see something, say something. She was given a platform and she used it brilliantly. And FFS, she didn’t insult anyone about their looks.
This!!!!
And she shouldn’t!!! She was great. SO funny …. and isn’t that WHY you hire a comedian????
Don t give them an inch, Michelle, you were perfect.
Yes, Wolf! No apologies. I’m glad she’s getting this kind of attention. I knew she was funny from The Daily Show but honestly didn’t realize she had all these opinions – love it so much! She’s not a journalist, she can say what she wants! And the Organizer apologizing for this – pathetic!
She was fearless and said only true things. I’m here for it all day long.
Good for her. Considering how much Trump fans love him because he “tells it like it is” they are remarkably huffy about Michelle Wolf doing just that on Saturday night.
And the media jumping on her for her vulgarity – where was that outrage during the 2016 campaign when Trump literally called Mexicans rapists and drug dealers? Oh right, they were so scared to be called biased that they thought if they focused just as much time on Hillary’s e-mails it would mean they were objective. Now they’re posturing and grovelling to SHS so she doesn’t revoke their press room access. Pathetic.
I want her friend’s quote on a t-shirt.
Listen to Michelle on Terry Gross today on NPR. She rocks.Such an honest, courageous, profound thinker this woman. She is cautious and careful as well but with balls to the wall in her art. That is pushing the envelope. Give the gal an award!!! Michelle broke the Reporters Ball!!
I listed to this interview today, and Michelle Wolf was really open, humorous, interesting and strongly feminist. She told Terry that she wouldn’t dissect her Maybelline joke for anyone–they could just read it, as it was written to be very obvious. I had not heard of Michelle Wolf before the WHCD last week. I’m impressed with her.
Hey hey hey. Hey hey hey. This is my life as a renegade. Not everyone has the guts. As I watched the set, I wouldn’t have been any prouder of her had I birthed her. I wish her good fortune, good health and a happy life.
“BUT HER RACIST TWEETS” is just a transparent attempt to change the subject away from her performance and the cold hard truths she served. always clock the counter narrative, ladies.
Something tells me those ‘racist tweets’ she supposedly deleted are fake. Nobody, outside of the Daily Show crowd even knew who she was prior to the WHCD. So why were, and this is pretty amazing, only known conservative outlets reporting on these deleted tweets? And the screenshots of these ‘supposed tweets’ look pretty off (doctored maybe).
So yeah, why were these conservative people taking screenshots of tweets from someone they had no idea existed until the WHCD.
I watch TDS and know Michelle, and she’s not racist, based on what I’ve seen her do for years over there. I just find this hard to swallow.
They are not fake, they are very real.
Of course CNN and the likes aren’t going to report on it, when have they ever when it comes to Democrats saying/doing racist things?
She has not denied it by the way which she would if it was all fake.
I don’t know what’s so hard to swallow about it, it’s not like it’s this rare thing that a white female comedienne says something racist.
Chelsea handler is a proud democrat yet she called Angelina jolie and brad pitts daughter Zahara a monkey and other racist things I won’t repeat here.
What’s disappointing is people’s disbelief that a white female could ever be racist.
It’s disturbing how completely blind people are to it, especially white females racism against black women which is very much real and happens all the time.
And there is an easy way to find racist tweets. You literally just write some racist word on search and it comes up.
And you can see when someone deletes tweets because the count nr changes from x amount to fewer tweets. She deleted 20 000 tweets of her racist “jokes”.
Nothing off about those tweets, just the copy and paste.
Again, they are real and she has yet to deny it even though people have been tagging her constantly, she has been advised to ignore and it will go away.
