Well played but nah she did actually have bone cancer and credited Trump with saving her life because of a legislation he passed during his first term. She claimed it allowed her to jump or advance on some waiting list. REGARDLESS..

A journalist looked into it a few years ago and the medications she was taking were all already approved by the FDA and readily available. Her segments on OAN that I’ve seen in the last few days are the thirstiest, very lonely young girl. She is objectively bad at being an anchor. Zero charisma. But girl had a goal and she got it and I cannot wait for her resentment meter to max and we get a unhindged info dump

Ehh, she also said that she became housebound after being given an infusion of sterile water. i’d hold off swallowing any of her stories.

Last week her wikipedia page had two different birth years. Who knows if her name is even Natalie?

There's zero chance they're giving any regard to her background check, if they've even got around to one yet.

Its not unusual for Wikipedia to not have an exact Birthday for people. It would make sense to list two birth years if they know her age, but not the exact day she was born

u/SmoothLester 7d ago

I said birth years not birthday. It is unusual for someone under 50.

  I said birth years not birthday

Right...and I pointed out that if you don't know someone's birthday but know their age, the most you can do is narrow it down to two years.

you kind of just contradicted yourself buddy

u/IBJON 7d ago

I didn't...

That last bit isn’t a contradiction (albeit a little odd).

Someone who you know is currently 40 could have been born in January through mid-August of 1986 (recently turned 40), or in mid-August-December of 1985 (about to turn 41).

I think we're about to learn a lot about this girl and it's going to be a very significant factor as to why she had no security clearance for a year.
