How did CNN just happen to find two of the nuttiest Donald Trump supporters on the planet?

By Hunter



The CNN interview with the crazy bug-eyed lunatic—sorry, with this patriotic and super-passionate Trump supporter—raises so many wonderful questions. For those that missed it, CNN conducted a group interview with Trump supporters to see what they fancied about the gerbil-topped menace, and the star of the show turned out to be the Jus' Folks woman who (ahem) rather emphatically explained that while politicians like our sitting president are all filthy liars, Donald Trump is a not-politician not-liar who "resonates" with people like her.

But the Jus' Folks woman and her husband, also on the panel, aren't just some random people plucked off the street. CNN didn't bother to mention, or check, that the pair are as notoriously batshit crazy as you can get, even by New Hampshire standards.

Susan DeLemus was elected in 2010 as a Republican to the state House of Representatives. In 2011, she was one of the state lawmakers who fought to keep Obama’s name off state ballots because they believed he was a “treasonous liar” who wasn’t born in the States, according to the Atlantic.

“It just makes me want to throw up,” Rep. Susan DeLemus had said at the time. “Let’s just bury the Constitution now and have a funeral.”

She scares me. I'm serious. I can't believe some nut like this holds public office.

..about an article written in 2005 that said "The US may have much change in weather patterns by 2015"...or something like that and the poster was pulling the old "The winter is going to be cold up north...ha,ha,ha) ...as if he destroyed the whole climate change theory.

Of Trump's more bald faced lies? Made straight to her face? What boulder was she hidding under? This woman needs to go back to her doctor for an adjustment to her meds because she is clearly off her rocker.

take my word on this, it's not hard. The hard part as a reporter is not answering some of the crazy talk and just dutifully listening and taking notes.

According to some folks here, it's acceptable as an elected person to do Fox News but it isnt acceptable for me to do Fox News.

So for these folks, its acceptable for this person in the OP to do Fox but not for me.

Seriously, this woman likely watches nothing else and FOX News is part of the problem. The propagandists spin their surrealism toward this end, scrambling and controlling minds. We should be very alarmed when we see how well it works and we need a strategy to help America return to reality.

And before you criticize that kind of belief, remember that Bernie Sanders believes similarly.

There's a much nuttier one that gets dragged on TV once in a while. She's chair of "Women for Trump" or something and she's really quite a spectacle to behold.
