    1. Hey, Huck here — how much does CNN pay to have your vile content beamed onto airport telescreens?

  1. Marianne is a fresh voice that is having a positive effect on the political conversation. That’s valuable.

    1. Apparently Marriane wants to ‘love’ her way into the presidency….she thinks she can beat Trump by banging him! 😂💦

  2. I have followed Marianne Williamson for 30 years she is more than a spiritual guru she’s a well educated woman to this day still feeds thousands of people for free with Project Angel Food she is smart and she cares about the world look into her more calling her spiritual guru is making her small

    1. She is a wacko idiot. ONLY women who are liberal, spiritual crystal gazers, and really stupid, could follow this nut.

  3. Marianne seems like the most authentic person up there…. She’s putting it all out there, and I can feel that she cares about this country and its people… Whoever elected in the end, we will probably deserve either way.

    1. Mike Wright Marianne Williams knows the Democrats exposed their hatred for the American middle class. Bad optics with the rhetoric of “racist”, “political underbelly” and “dark forces”. She is using those same words but with a facade of Hollywood spirituality that looks better. Democrats want to hate the middle class but want to feel good while they’re doing it, MW has shown the way.

  4. She may be weird and least likely to win but don’t count her out. Nobody expected a racist, sexist, authoritarian, divisiveness, corrupt fake billionaire to be the president. We all laughed, enjoyed the entertainment he brought us. Than woke up on election night, like wtf! America really!? 🤦🏽‍♂️ So don’t count her out lol

  5. Ms Williamson chose this role to inject spiritual awareness to the country. It will only resonate with those aware of the lack of it. Take her message now and appreciate her later. She is a messenger

    1. @davids11131113 I’m a proud liberal/progressive and I deplore her magical thinking “woo woo”. It’s as dangerous as any unreason that denies reality, just like religious fundamentalism is.

  6. She’s not going anywhere, used some of that money to help pay off student loans… Bernie Sanders for 2020…..

    1. She’s not been hiding. She’s been in a media blackout. She adviocates for peace which CNN and NBC don’t like.

    2. @Aaron Carson And tell us what a person or country does when another person or country does not want peace no matter how much you tell them you want it?

    3. @Aaron Carson Does the person or country wait for the other person or country to KILL them for the sake of peace?

    1. Shawn Goodson What do you think about all the conservative church leaders that have been raping small children for over a thousand years?
      You’re not very clever and intuitive if you think sick perversions are a result of political affiliations.
      There are plenty of sick fucks from all along the spectrum.

  7. Yassss Queen! I believe Gwenyth Paltrow when she said “Spiritual Legend”. I told my boyfriend she is Oprah’s spiritual advisor. Love her. Bless Marianne. I hope he gets a secretary position in health, housing, or education. The sick, the poor, and the children need love ❤️

  8. No one

    Marianne: *let divine light pour into your cells, let gods light strengthen your immune system*

  9. So instead of interviewing her, you make her out to be a spiritual guru.

    That’s why CNN is still the most trusted name in Fake News and voters are leaving the democrat party in record numbers.

  10. Here’s an idea: Upload the full debate without commentary and let us ask questions and say what we think (without censorship).
