Oh Lord. She believes in the lizard people? An antisemitic conspiracy theorist? And I always respected her work so much.
But yeah. I've said the same thing - except in regard to Bill Nye, or Neil DeGrasse Tyson. They ask for their political opinions or opinions on historical matters even though they have no expertise in those departments. Or even trying to make them both spokespeople for GMOs. Neither of them are biologists. Neil in particular is an astrophysicist. And they distract people from the real issue about said topics, too (e.g. emphasizing that GMOs are not inherently dangerous, while ignoring the problem of corporations being able to patent gene sequences or agriculture and livestock.)
