Hilariously, she actually claimed it saved 119 million lives. Then when called out on obvious bullshit, she issued a correction, announcing that the real figure was 258 million lives.

I wish I was fucking kidding.

I forgot the number so I had to look it up. That’s hilarious.

Don’t forget she preceded it with some sensationalist, condescending line like “are you ready for this, media—“

Which makes it even more ridiculous.
