She made about 4 of those tapes that we know of. So she'd have been stripped of her crown had she won.
It is what it is.
Oh please! Your personal lack of compassion completely misses the political point. She lost because she spoke up for traditional marriage and was targeted for punishment by a gay activist. She would have had to remain silent to have won, which means the gays wouldn't have attacked and invaded her private life and tried to destroy her in order to silence her. In which case, she would not have lost her crown, because she would have had it because she never objected to the gay threat. So they never would have stolen her private tapes to blackmail her with. It is what it is.
