To check out her recent work, just look to this weekend, when her arguments in front of host Brianna Keilar for why the image Donald Trump tweeted of Hillary Clinton that included a Star of David and originated from a frequently racist/anti-Semitic Twitter account wasn’t anti-Semitic included:

  • Reading aloud the text from the image
  • Claiming “it’s not the Star of David, technically.”
