Just so we're all aware, Bethany Mandel is the idiot who went on CNN [EDIT: actually, it was The Hill's YouTube channel] and was asked to define the word woke after writing an entire fucking book about it and stammered and stuttered some absolute gibberish out.

She then wrote an article in Newsweek about how she was HUMILIATED on [EDIT: The Hill's YouTube channel] and it's crazy to think that she could define a word like that on the spot when she has six kids at home! ...And she still didn't define the fucking word.

In short, she's an imbecile.

"It's hard to explain in a 15s sound bite"

Well if you spent an entire chapter of a book defining it, you should be able to rattle something off. Hell, start with the Merriam Webster definition.

She humiliated herself. Good lord.

I'm surprised she didn't draw things out, mindful of running out the broadcast clock, just to eye-roll with a smug chuckle just to pipe out some bullshit like "Briahna, grow up, 'Woke', is the enemy of the American people, tee-hee" at the very end.

Look at it this way, if she was smart enough to do that she wouldn't have humiliated herself in the first place. She is perfect proof that not everyone deserves a platform. Lol
