Very true.

But at least one of these particular fruitcakes (Marissa Janae Johnson) is a member of a splinter group of BLM, whose goal is to bring down the Democratic Party. She is an Evangelical Christian, and a (former?) Palin supporter.

It’s on her Facebook page, and she admitted it in a [radio interview](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fQqdNF-BHTw) on TWIBnation media, where she says her religious convictions “compel” her to do this, and “it doesn’t matter if I was a Palin supporter just before I got up on that stage”.

Food for thought.
