He then said: &#8220;BTW, I should make my position clear &#8211; I agree debeaking is awful. I am not a fan, but I am a pragmatist.

Okay, I lied, I&#8217;ve known that for years, but there&#8217;s been a recent discovery of her hypocrisy: She collected Medicare and Social Security payments. That&#8217;s right.
