    Sometimes she’s cool. Other times, she’s doing the racist “Tomahawk Chop” when watching Atlanta Braves games with her former husband, Ted Turner.

          She did support Norrh Vietnam in their self defence against US colonialism, and US right wingers are still furious at her for doing that. And that just makes her cooler.

            Not a right-winger, but a son of a Vietnam vet. I don’t have issues with peaceful protests. Kent State was a stain on our country. But protest the war and the politicians, not against the soldiers. Would rather her name not be connected to Harris/Walz.

              The soldiers who mass bombed civilian targets and dropped more bombs on North Vietnamese cities than where dropped during the entirety of WWII? Nah, fuck them.
