She represents District 14, San Francisco/San Mateo, which is quite like Jonestown.

The fact that she was a Jim Jones acolyte tells me all I need to know.

Ironically, she is filling the seat once held by Congressman Leo Ryan, who was assassinated on orders from Jim Jones when he flew down to Guyana to investigate.

The killing so shocked the district that they actually elected a Republican in the special election to succeed him.

Of course, stupid is as stupid does, Tom Lantos (who lost that special election) came back to win the next regular election and proceeded to warm that seat until he died in office in 2008. Spier won that special election and has held the office ever since.

Dumb? I’m not sure that is quite true. She is a full blown Marxist. Revrun Jim was a Marxist. The dummies, IMHO, are the California voters who elected this piece of trash.

Jim Jones was a Democrat Icon. Democrats used to fight to get photo ops with him…

We have a loon that was part of a murderous death cult, now part of a second murderous cult called communism, trying to brand Trump a cult leader. A classic case of ‘projection’.

McCain did have the same condition and it had nothing to do with PTSD. GREEDY CORRUPT iINSECURE are only part of McCain’s psychosis. At 5’9” he suffered from little man syndrome which was very evident especially in his later life. He was a pathetic man.

Congresswoman Jackie Speier (D-CA), a survivor of the Jonestown massacre

Only a fool would have fallen for that madness in the first place, and apparently she hasn't gotten any smarter.

“”The big lie has now been embraced by the majority of members on the Republican side in the House of Representatives. They are now paralyzed to speak truth,” Speier said. “They know that the election was not stolen. They know that it was held properly. They know that there was not massive fraud, and yet they will continue to mouth those words because their leader, Donald Trump, wants to hear them.””

I guess dems are never going to wake up and admit that differences of opinion are not LIES!

"She was dumb enough to follow Jim Jones but still managed to get elected to Congress."

That says something not very good about those who elected her.

Jackie Speier wants to keep cashing in on surviving Jim Jones.

“”I don’t think she followed Jim Jones. I think she was there with the Congressional group & media that got ambushed. That said, she is still dumb for not seeing the same cult-like attitude of CRT in her own party.””

You’re correct and that should have been easy enough for anyone to check out before posting that she was a follower of Jim Jones.

She wasn’t - easy enough to check out. She was a congressional aide to Congressman Ryan who was killed that day.

Oh, I know. I have immediate family in both areas that I visit frequently.

Every time we leave my husband mutters "I'm never coming back here again!"

Yet the people there keep voting for these idiots - Breed, Pelosi, Biden, Harris, etc.

Well, so what?! Resident Biden has Charles Manson for a role model. And it is a life and death cult. Just ask the 4 Capitol police who committed ‘suicide’ after participating in the Jan.6 globalists coup.

No, she was a member of the Peoples Temple. Those that shot and killed a Congressman who traveled to Guyana to see the Peoples Temple.
