No, Farah is right and smarter than you are.
If she as asked to speak before the Ku Klux Klan, bringing Jimmy Walker as her date, about illegal immigration, would you being making the same point? No, you wouldn't.
Speaking before this faux conservative group and giving it legitimacy is no different than giving the KKK legitimacy. And, that is what the issue is, giving a faux conservative group legitimacy within the conservative movement, not speaking before a group one disagrees with to change their minds and hearts.
And smarter than you are.
Speaking to a "faux conservative group" does not "give it legitimacy". She's not joining them, she's speaking conservative truths to them. Ann is a true conservative, or did you miss that part?
