Marianne Williamson's Blunt Answer To Kid Reporter's Question Gets Dark Fast—And Twitter Is Cracking Up

After Tuesday night's Democratic primary debates, all of the candidates headed to the spin room, where reporters asked follow up questions about their performance during the evening.

One candidate, self-help guru Marianne Williamson (currently polling at less than 1%), was lobbed a soft-ball question by child reporter Jeffrey Kraft:

"Do you have a pet?"

Her answer was truly memorable.


Umm...I guess Williamson should get some points for blunt, brutal honesty?



Could this have been her attempt at a teachable moment?


Like many things Williamson has said, many people weren't sure whether it was wise or just a bit insane.

At least she didn't hold the truth back from the child.



There is a distinct energy to Williamson's answer.


Jeffrey Kraft was left at something of a loss for words by Williamson's answer.

The big unanswered question: how did the cat die?



Williamson will never sacrifice her honesty, even if it means scarring every child in the United States.

Although pet ownership comes with the inevitability of outliving most pets. Mr. Rogers himself penned the book When a Pet Dies, available here, to help children with the process.


Perhaps it's time every candidate was asked this question by a child so we could see whether all of them are a bit unhinged, or whether that's just Marianne Williamson.

Basora-Gonzalez was arrested in Philadelphia by ICE for allegedly reentering the U.S. illegally. Seen in tears as she was taken into custody, the woman, a citizen of the Dominican Republic, had prior convictions for attempted possession with intent to distribute fentanyl and aiding and abetting.

MTG Dragged For Editing Tweet After Accidentally Including Hilariously Anti-MAGA Error

Georgia Republican Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene was widely mocked after she shared a video on X in which she bragged about her "Gulf of America" bill but didn't realize she'd accidentally dropped the MAGA mask by referring to it by its proper name—the Gulf of Mexico—instead.

On his first day in office, President Donald Trump signed an executive order changing the Gulf of Mexico to the "Gulf of America." The order also reversed an Obama-era decision and changed the name of the Alaskan mountain Denali back to "Mount McKinley."

Kansas Babysitter Finds Man Hiding Under Child's Bed While Checking For 'Monsters'

Many horror movies with plots involving children would be *much shorter* if movie parents listened when the kid complained about something under the bed.

Those fears are often pushed away with, "You're imagining things," or "Oh, that's nothing," only to become a very real problem later in the film. Parents in real life are also quick to brush off their kids concerns as an over-active imagination or too much sugar.
