j reacts to the idea that the black panthers were a "terrorist group"

she's not lying; she's been lied to, and she doesn't have the education to work through it.

she doesn't know who malcolm x or huey newton or eldridge cleaver are, and she couldn't tell you karl marx from thomas jefferson. it's not that she doesn't understand that the black panthers were more about class than race, it's that she doesn't know a damned thing about the black panthers at all. she's just pushing forward a scripted presentation of things....

she goes back to these talking points and screams them loudly, because that's the sum total of what she understands about the situation.

it would have been a lot more useful if they had brought out whomever wrote the lines on the teleprompter, instead.

the lesson is not to bother going on her show - it's better to just point out that she's a muppet from a distance.
