Just was reading about this, the GOP would paint whackjob all over this. sunonmars Jul 2020 #8

The gop is in no position to pronounce "wackjob" marybourg Jul 2020 #21

I agree, but their position on "wack jobs" is irrelevant politically. Caliman73 Jul 2020 #40

Ah! I got you now, sorry. N/T Foolacious Aug 2020 #86

Why would they do that $cientology is very supportive of Trump and the GOP tenderfoot Jul 2020 #64

They will do it under the guise of a progressive SlogginThroughIt Jul 2020 #72

FWIW - Bass can go pound sand tenderfoot Jul 2020 #75

I agree! SlogginThroughIt Jul 2020 #79

I have lived near Clearwater, Florida for coming up on 24 years. rzemanfl Jul 2020 #9

A big red flag for me unc70 Jul 2020 #10

Oh shit. Yes. PCIntern Jul 2020 #11

If true, this is an absolute NO! A real deal breaker Stinky The Clown Jul 2020 #12

Its true, its on the scientology website as I wanted to check for truth, she was there and said it sunonmars Jul 2020 #13

and you trust them? Beaverhausen Jul 2020 #55

Her words are on video... PTWB Aug 2020 #87

Agree ace3csusm Jul 2020 #48

She would be a disaster. SharonClark Jul 2020 #14

For me, yes. But then any form of irrationality, extremism, Hortensis Jul 2020 #22

It should (n/t) Spider Jerusalem Jul 2020 #23

Anybody who supports an evil cult like that doesn't even belong in public office much less 50 Shades Of Blue Jul 2020 #24

Deal Breaker. sarcasmo Jul 2020 #25

She does nothing for me, anyway, Sogo Jul 2020 #26

I have zero trust in anyone praising $cientology Miguelito Loveless Jul 2020 #27

Does she support her constituents or the church? Is this Republican bullshit? dem4decades Jul 2020 #28

It sure is mcar Jul 2020 #29

No doubt this came from a leak courtesy of the same old white guys as the Harris leaks. hedda_foil Jul 2020 #62

Yes. Mme. Defarge Jul 2020 #30

Yes, it is a non-starter Bettie Jul 2020 #32

my lunch group who met yesterday in a park here so we could social distance.... a kennedy Jul 2020 #33

Bass is the anyone-but-Kamala candidate pushed by CA and Beltway Dems who don't like Harris BeyondGeography Jul 2020 #34

She should be asked outright for her current position DFW Jul 2020 #35

Scientology would be an absolute "NO" for me csziggy Jul 2020 #36

Uh oh- not clear- is she a Scientologist, or just gave a speech praising them? Nt Fiendish Thingy Jul 2020 #37

They're both disqualifying. PTWB Aug 2020 #88

It isn't as though SHE is a Scientologist. Politicians not infrequently provide "polite" praise to hlthe2b Jul 2020 #38

Yes. NT avebury Jul 2020 #41

so Daily Caller and Daily Beast quoting Scientology Beaverhausen Jul 2020 #60

I mean, there's video. Drunken Irishman Jul 2020 #68

I wouldn't put it past Scientology to do that. They have a very sophisticated propaganda network. Beaverhausen Jul 2020 #71

She hasn't denied the video. nt pnwmom Aug 2020 #90

Yep, this is a deal-breaker. Dagstead Bumwood Jul 2020 #56

She will get ripped to pieces. nt leftyladyfrommo Jul 2020 #57

It makes her a no go for me. Scientology Scumbaggery. nt Progressive Jones Jul 2020 #58

yes SiliconValley_Dem Jul 2020 #80

Yes, I think it does Marrah_Goodman Jul 2020 #81

No friggin way is she acceptable. BSdetect Aug 2020 #83

It does give me pause and makes me prefer others n/t Tom Rinaldo Aug 2020 #84

That's a hard pass. crickets Aug 2020 #85
