The only people shocked would be her and her wife. She should be ashamed of the harm she’s done to minority communities, but she’s a psychopath so she won’t be.

But keep Hanlon's Razor in mind: "Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity." It's entirely possible the Ellisons just believed all the hype about Weiss and thought she was going to change minds. This is the ongoing lost cause of the right wing, that if people would just listen to them and weren't so damn well-educated they would embrace fascism. It's a major right-wing blind spot. Their ideas are ultimately unworkable.
