I'm asking if there's one that got you, like, "Oh my God."
I, look, I think Pizzagate was really- Pizzagate ... effective. When people, you know, when these ads against me, these really terrible, horrible false claims about me were running all over the internet, some with Russian money,
for heaven's sakes, um, the people who were campaigning for me, they were on the phones, they were knocking on doors, they would have voters say, "You know what?
I can't vote for her because she kills people," or she- In a pizza parlor ... traffics children or whatever they were told, and that they believed.
Yeah. And when, you know, my supporters would say, "Where did you hear that?
It's not true," they'd say, "Oh, I saw it on the internet."
Right. And, you know, the naivete and the susceptibility of people seeing a video or seeing something in print that looked legitimate was so powerful, and that's why you can't count out all of the money- No, no ... that is being spent against our candidates to lie about them again.
Yeah. It's interesting 'cause, you know, they, that Pizzagate thing did resonate.
It really did. I've had lots of people...
The lizard one was driving me cra- just 'cause I was like, "She's not a lizard."
Yeah. I'll show you my scales next time I see you in person.
I know. It was crazy. Yeah.
