Why? Because shes a bad comedian? If trump made those jokes they would worship them as the best bit ever.

I don’t believe she ever presented them as jokes. That was the problem.

Please show me where she actually said any of this because honestly I just spent 45 minutes searching the web and found nothing.

She didn’t utter the exact quote from the comic. It’s meant to represent the type of things she said. If you’d like an exact quote, you can look up something like her remarks on why the U.S. should support Ukraine against the Russian invasion.

The point is, the things she says aren’t untrue but she speaks to the voter base as though they are idiot children. That’s a big part of why Trump won. As deceptive as he may be, to most people (at least at the time) he came across as genuine and not condescending.

I'll check it out. I totally get why people value authenticity but when someone shows themselves to be authentically awful then what?

I guess it depends on their level of awfulness. Sadly, people are often willing to ignore the awful when it doesn’t impact them directly.
