Local businesswoman and conservative nutjob Tudor Dixon clinched the GOP nomination for governor in Michigan this week, winning nearly every county in her state.
She will now face off against incumbent Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer this November in what is expected to be a closely watched election.According to her campaign website, the 45-year-old mother of four is a 2020 election denying forced birther who wants to ban public schools from talking about anything LGBTQ-related, police what bathrooms trans kids can use, and “protect young girls from being forced to compete against biological boys” in sports.

We have folks that are really working hard to oversexualize our children. This is what we’re fighting against right now. It is the battle against family!”In short, she’s about as anti-LGBTQ as Republicans come these days.
Which is why it’s so very strange that she once worked for one of the most powerful lesbians on daytime television: Rosie O’Donnell.Prior to her recent foray into politics, Dixon, who has never held public office before, was an anchor on the conservative propaganda network “Real America’s Voice,” which also hosts Steve Bannon’s show “War Room.” Before becoming radicalized, however, she was just a regular person working in regular media.Early in her career, she reportedly interned at her local news station and on “The Rosie O’Donnell Show” before later getting a full-time job as a production assistant for the Oxygen Network, which was co-founded by Oprah Winfrey.Related: Rosie O’Donnell.
