Walker Texas Ranger but that is the only place in the video that seems over the top. She probably really does have a relative she calls by that name. Not totally sure it's satire. She could just be really dumb.

How can you be so sure its is, after watching the news for a year? The original YouTube video mentions nothing about satire in the description.

All the comments there also assume it is real.


As well I looked at the channels other videos, and they seem pretty real, like this one

supporters who really think Lizard People are real and Hillary drinks children's blood makes me want to shoot myself in the head.

It may be that it was not put together by her. That someone else gathered clips from her channel in succession, and put this together. But her actual original recordings could be real.

Especially considering the other videos on that channel.

I still think its so over the top, that I don't really 'believe her story' regardless. Maybe wasn't meant as satire, but rather a sad attempt to get attention.

My uncle called me his little girlfriend?

Lol ... okay then.

HAS to learn the hard way about health safety. But still not convincingly remorseful after all the death around her closest relatives.

believe this for a minute. Why couldn’t she just do something like talk about the importance of masks. Not satire at all.
