    There’s something special about a stereotypical ‘little old lady’ appropriately using the phrase “twat nazi Mom 4 Liberty asshat.”

      Thank you for this comment. I was just going to accept the OP summary, but now I must read the article!

      EDIT: Wow, that was packed full of useful information, too! Thank you once again!

          Yeah, the article (and quoted responses to her post of her speech) makes it clear she was nothing but civil when it mattered most. Fantastic job on her part - I’m pretty sure I couldn’t have held it together so well in her shoes.
