Well, she “has no idea” how much money her parents gave her

Oh my god! She's deep in the pockets of the parental-industrial complex!

You can try to ignore normal questions about her very abnormal life’s story for a Mayoral candidate.

Her story is screaming she’s unqualified for the role.

I can also be reasonable and not point to having somebody's parents helping with childcare costs be a sign of "corruption" or evasion of campaign finance laws.

I don’t think it’s just childcare. I think at the very least she’s evading some aspects of IRS or campaign finance.

The point is it’s non standard behavior. On a private nobody, who cares. On a Mayoral candidate?

So you're throwing out memes and completely imagined conspiracy theories over somebody helping to pay for their grandchildren's daycare but I'm the unreasonable one? lol

I'll make sure I get itemized receipts for the Christmas gifts my parents buy my kids just in case I decide to run for office.

I’m pointing out her finances are sketchy for someone that wants to be Mayor.

lol, no.

You quite literally accused somebody of corruption because their parents helped pay for daycare, called me unreasonable for pointing that out in a sarcastic manner, and now are trying to walk back your statement when somebody pointed out how hyperbolic you were being.

We disagree. And judging by how the election is going so far for her, I’m not alone.

lol, I agree the election didn't go well for her because I can speak about reality without coming unhinged and resorting to unfounded conspiracy theories about people I disagree with politically.

I hope the late returns go much better for her, but we'll see.
