Dad was a banker for the CIA, and she grew up in Maryland. Then she happens to become a PhD in Psychology. This is just more deep State crap
Can you tell me how you know that her father was a banker for the CIA?
Even if that is the case, it doesnt mean that the family endorses what she has done. But it might mean that there were others from the bureaucracy who were familiar with her life history.
It sounds to me like she may have moved to CA to get away from her previous life. That might include her family.
It would also be interesting to know more about the details of getting into Pepperdine, particularly if she was struggling in her undergraduate years.
