If she's sick of people thinking MN is crazy, she should get out of the public eye. People like her, lindell, and Jensen are why people think our state is crazy.

Inspired by Michelle Bachmann.

Ngl, Minnesota sort of sounds like a questionably legal sex act lol

This makes me unreasonably angry. I used to have a Chilean Rose Hair Tarantula and they are super cool and delicate little things who do not want to hurt you (except mine thought my hand was another female spider and would rear up if I reached into her environment).

Anyway, Tarantulas are amazing and this woman is a psycho who should also be charged with animal cruelty.

Tarantulas are extremely fragile creatures. She probably killed that poor thing.

On the flip side, if it's a new world tarantula, then they have highly irritating hairs that they'll spray in the air. Those hairs would be more dangerous than a bite, as a spider has little to no interest in attacking an ape 50x its size.

Wow...I just went down a rabbit hole on this lady, and she seems like she needs to legitimately be psychologically evaluated.

We're reaching a point where anyone who identifies as a Republican needs serious psychological help.

Well my days of not taking Minnesota seriously are definitely coming to a middle.
