She’s probably already compromised, or her staff are being handled by state department/cia, but maybe if enough people call she’ll at least be a bit more embarrassed. Worth a shot, because she’s not going away and her doing this shit is damaging.

    Where did I say she did a coup?

    You know what an insinuation is. "She interned for USAID during a coup in Niger for fucks sake. She is very very suspect." = insinuating she was involved in the coup.

    Not every employee in an organization like USAID is a CIA agent. The whole point of doing intelligence work through a cutout is that (1) you gain deniability by doing plenty of mundane stuff, too; and (2) people like college kids will think you're doing good work and not CIA stuff. It's beyond ridiculous to CIA-jacket every teenager who interned there. We can't entertain nonsense like this if we hope to get anything done.

      Sure there are college students who interned there who do NOT use their platform to be a useful idiot for imperial propaganda

      In other words, she’s suspect because of her actions and words given her background, not insinuation
