I looked at her Wikipedia page for all of ~15 seconds and I found this gem.

Means has spoken in support of raw milk, stating, "When it comes to a question like raw milk, I want to be free to form a relationship with a local farmer, understand his integrity, look him in the eyes, pet his cow, and then decide if I feel safe to drink the milk from his farm."

From the headline she sounds like I would have enjoyed her company cause I be speaking highly of psychedelics and petting cows.

Then you learn she's a Republican and then in the Trump cabinet 15 minutes into the conversation and you're like oh fuck oh no

so like.... if the farmer pets the cow, you're cool with everything else required to make the cow produce milk?

I didn't mention milk. I don't understand why you're interested in my opinion on the matter

Looking for fights when they should be looking for cows to pet.

You didn't explicitly mention milk, but you implicitly excuse Means' crimes against animalia because she pets them before deciding if it's okay to drink their milk, which you say you speak highly of.

To my mind, extracting milk from cows is an act of immense violence, while petting the animal can be endearing, so Means' choice to use an act of affection to decide which animals she subsidizes the violent treatment of is extra gross.
