5. The daughter has made so many contradictory statements that I have largely tuned out

I do wish MLR well, but something is just not right with this incident or at least the daughter's account of the issues surrounding it. And yes, I do have to wonder about all that $$$ raised, when the average desperate Go-Fund-me plea for medical crisis funds ends up raising zero $ or nearly nothing. I assume Retton was seriously ill. Maybe she is nearly bankrupt, despite stories to the contrary. On this, I'll just say I hope she recovers and clears up all the discrepancies. Truth would go one hell of a long way...

As to her conservative viewpoints, I was vaguely aware that she supported Reagan, but hadn't heard her views in the many years since. I still haven't heard that she supported Trump so I'm assuming she (hopefully) had enough sense not to have gone that far.
