(14,738 posts)Very notable though that she's been a high profile recruit to Parler, which is trying to become the far right alternative to Twitter.
Personally I can't see the point of a far right social media network. Most right wingers have other interests outside of hating people considered "different" and sucking up to bad politicians.

(14,738 posts)Originally came to fame on the UK version of "The Apprentice" before becoming a right wing talking head with a reputation for being absolutely vile, idiotic, highly bigoted and attention seeking. Although the mainstream media now distances themselves from her, she still has a following on the far right and I think that President Fart is still a fan of hers.

I like Twitter.. I see lots of good peeps for Democracy on there tweeting news that many of us wouldn't get otherwise.
