I'll never forget their campaign to convince Americans that being morbidly obese is healthy. I'll never forget that they robbed Bernie twice and later RFK Jr. Of that sweet democracy they claim to be for To INSTALL Hilary & Kamala. I'll never forget all the Trump media hoaxes I debunked in 2020 by watching the full unedited videos." She added that leaving the Democrat Party was like "leaving a cult."^[17]
