  • What happened to her was wrong
  • She tried to circumvent the American Visa process at a very bad time
  • She to this day is still a MAGA grifter

She drinks "health" water and is suspicious of Big Pharma so she's MAGA? I'm gonna need someone to connect the dots here, I just see an average wellness influencer.

That is more convincing, I don't know what those profiles post about but I can guess. Low-information/"I hate politics" types tend to fall for reactionary attitudes to social issues.

I understand that there's a big crossover between right-wing beliefs, doubting pharmaceutical companies, and promoting dubious wellness products, but your original photo just didn't demonstrate a direct connection to MAGA ideology to me.

Wasn't my comment, I just remembered seeing this in an earlier post and backed up the statement made by that commenter.

Oh, my bad lol. Thanks for your comment, definitely adds some credibility to what that person said.

There is no doubt in my mind this is all driven by the private for-profit prison system in the US.

There is zero reason to detain anyone for weeks/months that has not been charged with any crime, and wants to return home.

Wanting to be healthy is MAGA? Is there other evidence she is MAGA, because I eat healthy and exercise and avoid pharmaceuticals and I’m a socialist.

I'm reading and I can't find anything in her being MAGA

Saunders says that Mooney plans to appeal her revoked visa and loves the U.S. She was pursuing a marketing career there selling a hemp-infused water product – after running bars and restaurants in Vancouver.

Like that line from the article is about the closest I can find. I can see that she's an actress but nothing about being MAGA.

She definitely is maple MAGA, you can tell by her follows on Instagram. There’s a link in the previous post of this story

Edit: oh someone already found it and added to another comment on this post

I'm going to assume that you guys are correct. I sound like a prick when I say that but I don't have instagram and will never have one so I can't check the followers. As the comment claims that she follows MAGA people which is a red flag to me.

She has almost no posts though. Just says something about wanting people to be happy unless there are other things that are hidden to me being a public viewer.

It's a bit of a shame, but I've ran out of sympathy for MAGA-types a long time ago. Although I'm not happy with what she went through for sure.

Thanks for replying!

Selling “healthy” water (named “holy water” lol) is evidence that she’s a grifter. That she’s MAGA you can tell by her follows
