Thank you Amanda, women need to support women more. Women is the greater voting block in the USA yet that is not represented in the house or senate, because we fail to support women candidates

[@kashsingh7021]

Ok

[@Domolover63]

I don’t think she understands the power she holds

[@Semper_Iratus]

Free Tibet.

[@charlesfrueh8927]

When she can learn how to pronounce the word “women” properly, she might be taken more seriously! Also, could there be any more of a rip-off of Maya Angelou, who also sucked?!

[@sheilaboston7051]

I feel sorry that you're so bitter and cannot see the beauty in her words and her soul.

[@sundaymorris2480]
