Body double test?
quite possibly.
I’m guessing there were multiple purposes for the op. That was one.
Probably also a stalling tactic. Maybe a test to see which MSM were on board with the lie. And of course to plant the idea in people’s minds that she is alive and well.
Think about this: RBG has been on the court for 25 years. Have you ever before read a story about her attending an event like this? (Yeah, I know it was a musical or a concert about her, but still.) It’s not as if her existence and her social life have been covered breathlessly in the society pages. But now suddenly, the MSM feel the need to report on her social activities.
That begs the question: Why?
Because they have an agenda. My most likely answer is because she’s dead and the agenda is to make us think she is not.
