An expert thread that highlights someone who clearly doesn’t know what they’re talking about, talk about it anyways to snag those epic political brownie points… #Russia #Ukraine #UkraineUnderAttack
Keep in mind I have no idea who this political official was until just a few minutes ago. I have nothing against her, I’m sure she’s a great person.

I’m just highlighting this issue in American politics that isn’t exclusive to either left or right that is based on ignorance.
If you don’t know about something please ask more than one person or read more than one source. Don’t just choose what’s easiest and then Copy + Paste into your Twitter Thread or wherever. Educate yourself, and add to your knowledge on situations.
