Imagine someone convicted of fraud having the audacity of arguing that someone accused of fraud is unfit for their job.

I hope she knows how many people feel for and stand with her. Imagine working hard and achieving something and keeping a spotless record until a convicted felon comes in and accuses you of something. How infuriating!
