I'm sharing this for any Americans, and especially Irish Americans. As the racist rapist McGregor couldn't get a nomination to run for President of Ireland, this woman became the hope of the Christofascist Trumpian far-right but also failed to get nominated. She was polling at 5%.

This is it. There "reasonable debate" is just a hate campaign for minorities to endure.
The reason I'm concerned about Maria Steen being on the ballot isn't that she will win (she won't).
My worry is that if she is nominated, it will mean a month of national airtime for a hate campaign against vulnerable groups, carried by a media too scared of being sued to call it what it is
