Ignorance of the law is not an argument that holds up in court. Why then should we allow ignorance of a candidate for office to hold up at the ballot box? She had access to the same information you and I did about Trump. There wasn't some deep, dark, corner of the internet where we got our information and she didn't. It was all out in the open, all in the mainstream reporting around Trump. From his sexual assault convictions to his fraudulent business practices to Project 2025 to every terrible policy he tried to implement in his first term as President.
Should we welcome her into our anti-Trump coalition with open arms? Yes, we should attempt to. But what's to say Trump doesn't try for a third term and there Ms. Cooper is, or some voter like her, making excuses all the way to the ballot box, ready to vote for Trump yet again.
