What always amazes me about such things is how easy it is to just keep your mouth shut and not say anything and yet so often people just...don't.
But the problem with that is if she doesn't say some stupid shit to piss people off, she won't be in the news. And could you IMAGINE no longer being relevant enough to hold on to that attention? It's horrid.
That's not to say that she doesn't genuinely hold her shitty views, but she can't just shut the fuck up because then she wouldn't get any attention anymore, especially after pissing off a large portion of her core audience.
Conservatives think the same thing about liberals. When you think you're right, you also think you're doing the world a favor by speaking your mind.
It is better to remain silent at the risk of being thought a fool, than to talk and remove all doubt of it.
