That’s utterly vile.

Blocked and reported.

Worse than vegans, even.

The best part is, after *broadly* discrediting their testimony as false, she goes on to *specifically* discredit individual testimony as false, repeatedly, as a finding of fact.

(It’s a running gag with close family & friends that I have never in my life passed a chemistry class.)
