She can just wait until after the next election

Honestly, I have no idea who this person is. I wanted to learn more by reading the article but they lost me on "online influencer". Anyone identified as an influencer is an online cancer to me and I'm glad we didn't let it spread in Australia.

In my personal experience, she's mostly famous as someone that right-wing news can bring on and have their token woman and/or black person to tell all the trumpets that X thing is liked by women/the black community even when it's not.

She's listed as an influencer because that's what they bill her as and pay her for, but the influencing is secondary to that role. It's also an inevitable side effect because those racist trumpets can all go "oh shes one of the good ones" and do all the social media things and go "no of course I'm a good person, look at who I follow".

The only thing online I've ever seen about her from the black community is "race traitor for hire".

On one hand I don’t think we should be rejecting the visas of people who we disagree with, but on the other hand she’s a climate change denier and that makes it hard for me to actually want to hear anything she has to say

She advocated for the US to invade us to save us from the tyrrany of COVID lockdowns. She can go get proper fucked.

Disagree is not the correct frame here.

That part of the point is correct, it just doesn't apply in this case.

I’m sure Mark Robinson would buy her for a speaking engagement… err, I mean pay for.
