The last year turned out to be one of the happiest of my life, both professionally and personally. I also met the most extraordinary woman I’ve ever known.

This description actually undersells how creepy this person was. Truly disturbing stuff.
Yesterday, a Republican tried to give me holy water and Trump perfume because I’m “demonic.”
