She can take her lies about "the radical left media," fold them in 5 corners and stick them where the sun don't shine.

It was a paraphrase based on what she DID say, which was echoing a Q-assnon Con-spirassy theory about transmission of energy from space for green electrical power (a real science being studied) , PG&E, Jerry Brown's plan for high speed rail needing to clear a path (what better way than a monumental deadly fire, right!), and the "Rothchilds" as financiers (Jewish implication), It's all there, just packaged for the internet meme phrase and picked up by the MSM as "Jewish Space Lasers" ie that POSSIBLY (according to her and Q-assers) they caused the CA fires.

She's here on Newmax with a sympathetic interviewer saying she never said the phrase, which is true, but that's a dodge. The truth is she implied exactly THAT in her FB post in series of statements and dog whistles.

She's acting innocent, playing the victim, and using Christian values as a shield. it's nauseating.

She never said "Jewish space laser" and, for many, it was nothing more than a point of laughter at her "crazy ass". What she said was worse. What she said was a part of a long running anti-Semitic theme, the Jews and our control. While the idea of "Jewish space lasers" is funny, and certainly worthy of some jokes, as usual, many missed, purposely or ignorantly, the festering anti-Semitism. So now, she and the loons of the right paint her as the victim. Of course, I am sure many have long forgotten the democratic DC councilman who said the same, about the Rothchilds, but attributed the control to snow in DC. Unlike this incident, it was mainly ignored, and even excused by a number of people. People have got to get through their fucking heads, anti-Semitism IS bigotry. PERIOD!
