Meet Mallory McMorrow, a Democratic member of the Michigan Senate. This morning, McMorrow saw a fundraising for her opponent in the upcoming election–and because of redistricting, a colleague of hers in the Senate, Republican Lana Theis. The email explicitly accused McMorrow of being part of a “grooming” cult who supported pedophilia.
McMorrow took to the podium to not chastise Theis, but to demolish her policies, her tactics and her intentions to destroy people, not govern. This is how to respond to baseless attacks by trolls, in person and online.
