(61,997 posts)50. That's how I see it, too.
She's openly talking about (1) the facts she found that refute what she'd been told by the right wingers and (2) she's openly talking about how her right-wing network didn't care when she showed them the truth.
If the story is accurate, she's a person with integrity who followed the facts and is not afraid to talk about them.
