Politician

The Resume

    (May 1, 1957- )
    Born in Libertyville, Illinois
    Birth name is Joanne Marie Jorgensen
    Libertarian Party nominee for president of the United States (2020)
    Libertarian nominee for South Carolina's 4th congressional district (1992)
    Full-time Senior Lecturer at Clemson University

Why she might be annoying:

    She resembles Anjelica Huston.
    She has called Social Security a 'Ponzi scheme' and expressed support for privatizing the program.
    She randomly tweeted that she was cancelling a rally appearance for a rabies vaccine after 'being bitten by a bat near the start of [the] campaign tour!' (Twitter had a field day with 'Batwoman'/'Batgirl' memes).
    Her supporters tried to appropriate Hillary Clinton's 2016 Presidential campaign slogan ('I'm with Her!') for her.
    Her pick for the worst American President in history? Woodrow Wilson of course! (she blamed him for 'the two great financial evils' - the 14th Amendment and the Federal Reserve Act).

Why she might not be annoying:

    Her grandparents were Danish immigrants.
    She holds a Ph.D. in Industrial/Organizational Psychology from Clemson.
    She was the Libertarian party's nominee for vice president in the 1996 U.S. presidential election, as Harry Browne's running mate.
    She has been critical of the U.S. government's handling of the Coronavirus pandemic.
    She briefly paused her presidential campaign after her mother's death (September 3, 2020).
    She is at least more astute than the 2016 Libertarian nominee Gary Johnson (for starters she knows what Aleppo is).
    Nickelodeon left her off of their 2020 Kids Vote! mock election graphic.
    She received more than 1.8 million votes in the general election, about 1.2% of the national total - again outperforming Johnson.
