I mean I'm still going to remember her as the grifter she was who likely thought the Trump admin was simply something innocuous enough that she could use as a stepping stone to greater heights but hey im glad there's a line she didn't want to cross at least.

“She said ‘no’ because she didn’t want to tweet it because everyone should already be peaceful and nonviolent, but because of Antifa she had to tweet it.” /s
