Williamson’s precise remarks about the left-wing and nastiness in politics read as follows:
“I know this sounds naïve; I didn’t think the left was so mean and I didn’t think the left lied like this.”
We are not the first generation of Americans that has to pushback against forces that are undemocratic. Let’s just not be the first generation of Americans to wimp out on doing it. pic.twitter.com/SkkAVqo1y7

Williamson then went onto express her previous belief that only conservatives and Republicans engaged in nastiness and dishonesty:
“I thought the right did that, I thought we were better!”
The 2020 hopeful’s statements come after facing backlash from members of her own party. Williamson furthermore noted an interest in appointing NYT columnist Nicholas Kristof as her secretary of state; this interest changed, however, once Williamson learned that Kristof has slammed her candidacy for president.

After addressing the nastiness in politics, Williamson talked about President Trump. She made interesting comments regarding the president’s face, claiming that he “looked different” in the 1980s. When asked if the difference in appearance is merely due to natural aging, Williamson claimed she didn’t want to “go into that.”
