I had similar reaction to her rebuttal.... To me, she came off as having been coached heavily to put on that affectation... I thought it was terrible, but, I don't think I was the intended audience, so, maybe that speaking style worked better on them?Couldn’t stand her over the top “I’m about to cry” voice.
Message was fine, but they got the wrong messenger.
I think her genuine self would have liked nothing more than to tear old Joe a new butthole. I certainly would have enjoyed that more.
