"The liberal white woman savior complex is on full display outside the Lindsay Clancy trial," she wrote in the statement. "Hundreds of supporters, many dressed in pink and wearing slogans about 'mental health,' gathered outside the courthouse in support of a woman on trial for the killings of her three children.
"If she were on trial for killing three dogs, these women wouldn’t be anywhere near this courthouse," she wrote. "But three innocent kids are dead, and the Left has turned their alleged murderer into a cause célèbre. We should be mourning the victims, not celebrating the perpetrator."
