> [@elucidator](#): > > The poor dear, all she has to comfort her is cashing paychecks! She’s probably one of the few on the planet(aside from family) who can get a steady paycheck out of The Cheeto. She probably knows enough to jail the whole crowd. ---

I don’t think it can be called an “outfit”. On Facebook, a community theatre actor posted a picture of her, next to a photo of himself in a similar costume.

Far as I’m concerned, it’s open warfare on Trump and his minions. It’s fair and right to call KAC on her contemptible lies, but I think it’s completely unfair to attack her on her looks, hair and style of dress. There are lines I’d rather fellow progressives didn’t cross. ---
