...but that was someone else. I knew that I had seen her somewhere before, however, and indeed she's one of the latest "pick-me girl" grifters who have jumped on the Fox bandwagon. It also turns out she's a homeschooling zealot mother of six, so you can safely assume that she's into radtrad religious politics as well.

Seriously, though, how lazy do you have to be--she wasn't the least bit prepared for the obvious question, "what do you mean by woke?". It isn't like these people haven't been constantly "owned" (as the kids say) over the last few months on all the cable screamfest shows when they're asked to define their terms!
