She discounted The whole idea of Paul Ryan being a hard worker because of "relative priveledge", her words were "becareful with the term hardworker, because I keep a picture of people in the cotton fields to remind myself of what hard work looks like" as if there isn't any other way to be a hard worker.

She made her self look foolish, which is why she's been getting called out on this all week.

Stop being dense :comeon:
You added the "as if there's no other way to be a hardworker"

In reality she began giving examples of other hard workers.

The slave reference was a little far, she could have gotten the point across without talking about picking cotton. But don't misrepresent her words and spin them into something she didn't say.

You don't get to backtrack now. You LITERALLY just defended this.

The whole problem is her hyperbole. So yeah, you condone her exaggerated low-brow bullshyt.

No. The poster I quoted said

":what: so you gotta be a cotton picking slave to be considered a hard worker?"

I said.

That's not what she said at all.
