Presidential candidate and spiritual guru Marianne Williamson was caught on tape saying conservatives and Fox News are nicer to her than some on the Left.
Appearing on Sinclair’s America This Week, Williamson was played a clip where she had previously appeared on the same show and was caught in a hot-mic moment.
“What does it say that Fox News is nicer to me than the lefties are? What does it say that the conservatives are nicer to me? It’s such a bizarre world,” Williamson said. “You know, I’m such a lefty. I mean, I’m a serious lefty, but they’re so … I didn’t think the Left was as mean as the Right, [but] they are.”
Williamson, 67, expressed surprise that the clip was “blasted out,” but walked back the comments to some extent on the show.
“Well, what I was told was that if I came on your show, you wouldn’t blast it out, and you just blasted it out,” she began. “So, I don’t even know where to go with that.”
“Listen, many people on the Left are very kind to me. I’m running for president. It’s not a walk in the park. So I was making a comment that I found [in] my life that day,” she explained.
“Some people on the Left, because they’re working for other candidates — I understand how it goes, that’s all I meant,” Williamson continued.
Williamson did not qualify for Thursday’s debate and is currently polling behind many of the candidates vying for the Democratic nomination. A RealClearPolitics national average of polls has her at 0.5% support.
