    I agree the Scientology thing is weird. I think she probably didn’t really know what Scientology was and just was trying to give an inoffensive generic speech, although she does name drop L Ron Hubbard so she had to have at least nominal information about them. She’s in California, not Florida, but being one of the LA districts, Scientology is probably equally inescapable. She says we didn’t know how bad Scientology was at the time, but I don’t know how true that is. I know there was a time where it was kind of just thought of a wacky celebrity religion like Kaballah and then at some point we knew it was an evil cult. Was that before 2010?

    The Castro comments are a positive in my opinion but wE cAn’T lOsE tHe GuSaNoS.
