I have known Amy since she was a teenager. I have never had a very high opinion of her. She is a friend of one of my family members. I kept my misgivings to myself, but my brother-in-law sensed this, and on one occasion took issue with me. I remained silent.

Amy lost her TV reporter's job years ago when she created a scandal. She was caught on film, along with her two children, at the home of Craig Stebic, whose wife is still missing. She was wearing a two-piece bathing suit at the time.

When questioned about the ban, JB addressed why Amy has been banned. She appeared at a rally that was pushback against our governor's cautious reopening plans. The rally was a right-wing hit job, featuring pictures of JB as Hitler. (JB is Jewish). If she wants to be a featured speaker at RWNJ rallies, she is no reporter. JB addressed her banning quite eloquently. Go, JB!
