I thought our 'friends' on the Right could use something to drool into their knickers about.
I doubt anyone on the "right" trusted her with their money so why would they give a shit?
She cashed in on the movement; and now she is cashing out. Seems her morals (if she ever had any) have a price; and it has been met.
Whatever will the "mostly peaceful" protesters do without her?/S
They should have organized protests at her home(s).
Maybe it would have been smarter for BLM to mind its own business rather that also back a foreign terrorist organization. I imagine it lost a lot of valuable support by doing so.
