I mean, I think she's like 23, 24.
So she's pretty young.
She's married already.
She had had her marriage blessed by the pope, by Pope Leo.
So she and her husband had gone to Vatican.
I mean, you can't make this stuff up.
They had gone to Vatican City and they, you know, she's in this kind of very traditional, like 50s Catholic wedding gown and the pope is blessing her.
And then people are saying, you know, are you kidding me?
You roped the pope into this sham?
And so that has obviously been very controversial.
She previously, and this just shows you what loving people are in this community, this right-wing media world.
When she got engaged last year, she posted a picture of the wedding ring.
And I'm not a big judger of diamonds, but it looked a little small.
And I think a lot of other people felt that the diamond was small.
So all these other right-wing women who hate her for all these reasons are saying, oh, it's too bad you married a broke boy, all this.
This created a whole other civil war on the right.
And so there were a lot of people who were really eager to jump on this.
But I think, you know, if you look at and I'm sure this is something, you know, you saw, you know, in Oklahoma, I think there's this kind of new generation of these right wing women who say, you know, we need to go back and we just need to, you know, you need to find a husband at 20 or whatever.
And you have these kind of older right wing women who are middle age or in their 30s who are saying, you know, there's a reason that, you know, after the Mad Men era, women were like, we need to have jobs because your man's going to run off with a younger woman.
you know all of these other things and so in this case we have elijah schaefer's wife who's very much a sort of trad figure staying at home with the two kids and then suddenly guess what he's run off he's divorcing her he's having this affair allegedly so i think um you know there is kind of this like larger impact that people are pointing to is like wait maybe this trap thing it was both hypocritical and also if you're a regular person it's kind of a dangerous way to live your life
