I would just like to provide my outlook. tweet 1: Against the Equality Act which would have made sexual orientation and gender identity federally protected classes using standard right wing talking points. tweet 2: Promoting Heritage foundations critique of gender identify at the UN using standard right wing talking points. tweet 3: (linked below) Support for the border wall using standard right wing talking points. It really seems like she is getting hammered for being mainstream conservative. I understand the critiques about her not being technically qualified to understand the AI ethics issues. The idea that if you disagree with current transgender talking point you are not allow to work with Google in a public capacity seems extreme.
