1. She would have been a wonderful speaker.

I realize everything was running late and they were looking to cut, not add, speakers, but this was a lost opportunity.

2. Uncommitted implies no endorsement.

Perhaps that was the issue.

4. She was going to endorse her.

It's worth listening to this video; her remarks would have been a real moment of unity in support of Harris/Walz.

3. I don't know anything about her.

Has she publicly diavowed hamas? There is nothing reported. Until Palestinians vigorously disavow hamas and violence against innocent civilians, I am dubious.

5. Kicked and recommended

Thanks for the thread Rhiannon
