Vaseline Woman Goes Birther In VP Audition Book

The Guardian reports:

Unafraid is a grievance-packed audition in Lake’s tireless quest to be named Trump’s running mate in 2024. He wrote the book’s foreword. Donald Jr is her publisher. Unafraid is bile-filled and breezy. Introspection takes a holiday. Lake trashes high-profile LGTBQ+ Americans, embraces Paul Gosar of Arizona, one the most extreme and incendiary members of the Republican party … and demands national unity.

She tags Barack Obama with the birther smear, deriding him as a man with a “mysterious past” who engaged in “flirtations with Marxism”. But she omits that she donated to Obama in 2008 and reportedly campaigned for him while a broadcaster, in violation of journalistic ethics. Indeed, Lake contributed to Obama’s campaign shortly after National Journal ranked him as the most liberal senator. His liberalism wasn’t a negative for Lake, until it was.

Read the full review. No paywall.
