“We weren’t trying to make a political statement,” Smith reportedly said. “However, we were, you know, kind of poking fun at the fact that you know one of the Great Lakes’ names were getting changed.” Lives in Michigan. Intentionally modified a family photo to have them all in “Lake America” shirts. Then posted it publicly specifically calling out that Canadians wouldn’t like it, and laughing about that. Some people seem pretty unaware of what a political statement is.

She sounds like one of those conservatives that is just fine with lording it over others when donnie is doing something terrible to other people, but then acts all hurt when people decided to cut ties with them: “why did they have to do this? All over politics? They cannot still just get along?” Yeah, they love to pretend to not know that nearly everything is “politics” and they act totally hurt and confused when they get any consequences for their behaviors and their choices.

Nono, see, it’s only politics if it’s something I disagree with.

And she did it on Sept 11. At a Canadian airport that took in hundreds of terrified and displaced Americans during 9/11.
