She probably really has low self esteem and this is how she attempts to compensate for it. I had a class of 6th graders who were like this toward a new student. I told them how horribly they must feel about themselves to take it out on an innocent victim and made half of them cry. GOOD! They stopped bullying the new kid (who had wanted to kill herself over it...she confided in me).

I saw this video last year, I wonder if this woman has stopped doing it in public and if there was any sort of backlash. I want to know why no one stepped up to say something. I would have in a second. Those who didn't should be ashamed of themselves.

November 2018 post date, so I thought it was current.

so I went searching for the original.

The danger of the internet, where people can post fresh copies of things and start a viral repeat of an old story. (Or use photos of kids weaaring foil blankets during the Obama era and blame them on Trump.) I try to alway check the validity (and date) of whatever the outrage du jour is before posting/spreading.

as if it was a new, fresh outrage, rather than something that happened in the aftermath of Trump's election.

Without the date it is, at best, misleading. (As were the posts of kids wrapped in foil blankets during Obama's tenure, or rosaries collected from immigrants during at least two prior admininistrations - both of which were attributed to Trump.) Truth matters.

You did.

This isn't LBN.

Done with this conversation. Have a nice evening.

the implication is that it is new. (Not to mention you indicated you believed it was new, and the expiration for LBN is 24 hours, not 2 years.)

for pointing out that this old, it's very irritating when the right does this and more so when the left does it.
