She was good with the cruelty until it hit her personally.

[modernorpheus]

She's not upset that others are suffering; she's only upset that she's suffering.

[markniekranz]

If she thought that voting for Trump was going to have a happy ending, as a Federal worker and WOMAN, she simply was not paying attention.

[peteford]

She was voting for other peoples lives to be ruined, not hers. What a moron.

[reubenfevrier]

No sympathy. None. Ignored the misogyny. Ignored the racism. Ignored the bigotry. We should have no time for people like this.

[payasoinfeliz]

"i was ok with people suffering because i didnt know i was among those people"

[TempeSoldier]

“I thought my vote would ruin the lives of other people, not mine. It’s so unfair. What should I do?”.

[BeckyBuju]

OMG her choices have consequences! Who would’ve known

[CaptainKedah]

She wanted Other People Lives to be Ruined but Not Hers. Karma Strikes !

[mollyliedtke]

If IVF was her one issue why would she vote against the woman who wanted to support women's rights across the board?

[spiderliliez]

This is how being selfish looks like. Sorry, but not sorry.

[lorenawolfman]

Tunnel vision is not a good way to vote. Also he was clearly cutting women's reproductive rights including IVF, in vitro, etc. Far from limited to contraception and abortion... hope this is a big lesson to you.

[garyroache]

Wow, she’s straight up just admitted “I know I was voting against other people, but I really wanted this thing for me“

[Cinnamon-uzw]

No sympathy for Riley Cooper whatsoever. She was okay with others being harmed. Don’t buy her motivating reason at all.

[OffBeatLondon]

She watched what happened on Jan 6th and thought "that guy should be president again." There is no cure for stupid.

[fxredlyte]

24 yrs old and only struggling from infertility for 1 year. And potentially free IVF was the single issue that made her vote for Trump. The level of selfishness and lack of understanding that actions have long-term consequences is baffling.

[barbaramoignard]

My sympathy goes out to those who are suffering through no fault of their own. This young woman brought this on herself.

[carolwood]

She HONESTLY does not regret her vote. She's upset that it didn't work out for her.

[dianegoddard]

This woman interviewing her must be laughing inside

[lewisthelog]

She stated that she realized that she would be taken opportunity away from other people, and that was ok. Why should people feel compassion for her when she had none for them?
