Dear Chris,
I can start by telling you who my audience is not.
It is NOT you.
It is NOT the pundit class that rarely leaves the safety of its Georgetown cocktail parties.
It is NOT the chattering class who gets paid to pretend it knows the mind of the American people.
It is NOT for anyone who looks at everything through the lens of politics.
The people I am talking to are tired of the bullshit.
The people I want to speak with are the 50 million Americans still sick and suffering. The families fighting for the lives of the those they love.
Whether they are people living in the shame and fear of being canceled, or consumed by grief after the loss of someone they love, they are just looking for a slight glimmer of hope that they too can get back up again.
My audience is the people who feel unheard, unseen, and uninvited, just like me.
My audience also includes my perceived enemies, those pitted against me by you and your colleagues in the media. I want to meet them where they are and help build a bridge. A bridge built of that which connects all of us. That’s where we begin to actually heal.
And it’s not as if my intent is difficult to understand or discern. Just read and listen to what I have said on this platform, and the 18+ hours of unscripted pod casts I have done.
I think your shock as to why anyone would care says far more about you than it does about me. Take a look at the comments to your post.
And I also know this: people are tired of the bullshit. They’re tired of you and the chattering classes’ obsession with my family as Rome burns.
So instead of wondering why people care about what I have to say, Chris, maybe you should concern yourself with why no one cares anymore about what you and everyone you represent has to say.

Addiction is never an excuse, but it can be an explanation. Seeking genuine forgiveness from those we have harmed is one of the hardest things to do in recovery. It’s one of the hardest things for any of us to do in life. I’ve found that, before you begin that journey, you have to first forgive yourself. I would love to hear about your experience, strength and hope today.
I have been collecting art for many years and have a beautiful @HunterBiden painting that he painted in memory of his mom and sister on my wall at my home. Find out the incredible reason Hunter uses art as a daily meditation 🎨 Watch the full episode on @lizcoffeepod YouTube channel or listen wherever you get podcasts https://t.co/pGZBICobRi
Thank you Mimi. As I left off the conversation with Dax, my focus is on self control, doing the next right thing, and compassion. I'm not perfect and will fall short. Sometimes self control is the greatest daily struggle, but nobody has the agency to dampen our spirit unless we let them.
@dogfkrs Yes definitely. I enjoy the long form unscripted conversations on every type of platform. Raw honest conversations. I think it's important to meet people where they are.
@Che31003@dutchessprim God bless you too Che. My hope is that we can have conversations with each other again where we can find connection in each other's humanity rather than our politics or who we voted for.
