1. She's a PARROT. A GOPAC talking point repeating PARROT. She is just smart enough to memorize
the talking points given to her by the RW fascists, but not smart enough to be trusted to explain her views in front of a canera and a microphone.

3. The y apparently also think that the song Barracuda is complimentary.
They have obviously not listened to the words.

11. "You lying so low in the weeds"
From the song 'Barracuda':
...
You lying so low in the weeds
I bet you gonna ambush me
...
No right no wrong, selling a song-
A name, whisper game.

If the real thing don't do the trick
You better make up something quick

12. Actually, A Real Barracuda is:
A large fish, who hovers, rather than swims, and is also recognized by opening and closing it's mouth while hovering. When it sees something shiny, it strikes lightening fast. It also has poor eyesight.
