A woman with a proclivity for calling brown people apes: …got hired to do a reboot of her show by ABC last year. Note the date on that tweet. Everybody knew she was an unstable kook given to nutty bigotries and crazy conspiracy theories: But, as the retweets make clear, she was a nut who who is popular with the conspiracy-monger in the White House and his dull son. So ABC decided to reboot her show, knowing that she is... Read more
