| Wow the majority of you are so cool and mature. This post says so much about you and this community, much more so than it does about Bethany. Love the mom shaming and bringing her children into this. Really classy. |

| Maybe don’t talk about your kids on Twitter, Bethany? And watch them when they’re at the pool? |

Small people talk about other people...
If you don't like her politics and thoughts, discuss those things. |

She is a public person verified on Twitter. No one if forcing her to publish her opinions on the WORLD WIDE WEB. |

Bethany Mandel is the kind of person that does a lot of mitzvahs for her community but also creates unnecessary drama whenever possible.
I don't think anyone should talk about kids but the pool incident is infamous because she (rightfully!) dragged another family on social for taking their sick kid to an activity, and then like a month later, takes her kid with diarrhea to the pool and then the kid poops in the pool and gets it shut down. She did a Tweetstorm on it, so it's not like she was protecting her kids privacy. She still brings up the same family again but doesn't see the parallels to her actions. (I am Team Keep Your Sick Kid at Home fwiw.) As someone mentioned, she (rightfully!) brings up everything happening with the Uighurs. It's unconscionable what they're going through. However, when her former city was looking at having Syrian refugees live there, she was against it and testified about their potential for radicalization. It's easy to decry what's happening around the world but easy to try to shut down help for those in your backyard. She (rightfully!) raised concerns about what happens to businesses and cultural institutions with the pandemic but the way she phrased it was "I’m not sacrificing my home, food on the table, all of our docs and dentists, every form of pleasure (museums, zoos, restaurants), all my kids’ teachers in order to make other people comfortable." I suspect the reason she got flamed was because of her phrasing - I will not sacrifice. After that, she was so annoyed at her attempted cancelling, she decided to double down on the contrarian viewpoint about everything on the pandemic, especially mask wearing. She then got annoyed at a travel blogger for asking others to wear masks by saying, "I cannot even fathom the chutzpah to vacation at a luxury resort I had to fly to during a pandemic, have someone else take a picture of me UNMASKED at my private pool and lecture other people about how they have to wear a mask." Like c'mon lady. You don't want to sacrifice the zoo but you're angry at someone who wants to get back to their living (travel blogging)? Either we wanted the economy to get back to normal or we didn't. He was sitting outside by himself, of course he wasn't wearing a mask. Her previous mitzvahs aren't a license to be a performative brat. |

She LOVES the attention.
I never understood why she got so worked up about public schools and Covid during the pandemic when she homeschools her kids. |

Because she’s a rightwing social media grifter with a narrative to push. |

Tell me you’ve not been paying attention to anything in the last two years without *telling me* you’ve not been paying attention to anything in the last two years. |
