“Yadda, Yadda:” The internet loved Marianne Williamson on gun safety
Bestselling author and self-help guru Marianne Williamson lit up Twitter after answering a question about gun safety which she ended by saying Americans only hear “yadda, yadda, yadda” when it comes to the Democratic Party’s priorities.
In her answer, she abruptly pivoted to the influence of the pharmaceutical and healthcare industries, and defense companies, accusing her onstage rivals of taking money from them.
Then she said nothing would change unless there was a law establishing public financing of elections and said the Democrats risked losing the moral high ground unless they stopped accepting money from these industries.
“I don’t think the Democratic Party should be surprised that so many Americans believe yadda, yadda, yadda,” Williamson said. “It’s time for us to start over with people who have not taken donations and can say with real moral authority, that is over, we are going to establish public funding for federal campaigns.”
The odd answer and her use of the expression “yadda, yadda, yadda” rekindled the internet’s fascination, curiosity and fondness for Williamson, with a few “Seinfeld” references to mix as it was a popular phrase in the hit 1990s sitcom.
