.bridgetgillard reports on Marianne Williamson's talk at The Wing on Tuesday
Marianne Williamson. Photo: Katherine Pekala for The Wing Marianne Williamson is comparing herself to a migrant. Specifically, to one of the thousands of people currently waiting at the U.S.-Mexico border, detained there in concentration camps.
A week later here she was, all flawless cheekbones and huge, sparkling eyes, swaying slightly like a single eucalyptus branch in a minimalist vase. Interviewing Williamson at The Wing was journalist Amy Chozick, who called Williamson’s reference to the plight of asylum seekers, when discussing being shutout by MSNBC and CNN, “extreme.” “Don’t put words in my mouth, there was no comparison to the border,” Williamson says. “I’m talking about a mind-set of exclusion.
Sitting in the rows of temporary chairs, it was very clear what Williamson wouldn’t be talking about: policy, or what she and Chozick refer to as “wonkiness.” “Many Democrats have not understood that the part of the brain that rationally analyzes an issue is not always the same part of the brain that decides who to vote for,” Williamson says. The sole rational-brain topics she alludes to are her plans for a “Department of Peace” and a “Department of Children and Youth.
