    Back then, most people didn’t understand the threat that was Trump. I sure didn’t know all of the horrific things he did. This was pre Epstein. This was before Stormy.

    I thought he was just a bombastic rich asshole with a shit political outlook.

    Someone taking a job in that campaign had no reason to think it would be toxic. Most campaigns are not run by the candidate but by the party.

      I mean, he began his political career by a racist attack on Obama.

      He started his campaign by calling Mexican immigrants rapists and drug dealers.

      He said a judge couldn’t be fair to him because the guy had Mexican heritage.

      He openly campaigned on a Muslim ban in the US and commiting war crimes by killing the families of terrorists.

      There was a tape where he admitted to sexual assault.

      Any ignorance to the fact that he was a vile, racist, bigoted rapist was intentional. Doubly so if she worked to get him elected.

        Correct. Everyone full well knew what a sack of shit he was. 2016 at the absolute latest. Everyone in New York knew for decades. She knew.
