These sums do not suggest someone paying themselves a fixed, if generous, salary. They bespeak a grifter who is transferring hundreds of thousands of dollars to themselves and draining the PAC dry of money to fund a lavish lifestyle. This is not even covering the various moneys she paid out to refund money she claims to have spent for the PAC; $1,000 here for a “Reimbursement” (even though travel and other expenses are separately itemised and clearly paid out directly), $2,000 there for “Mileage”. In fact, Ball pays herself tens of thousands of dollars in various “reimbursements” even though she had no problem paying directly for expenses with the PAC credit card and itemising them accordingly, such as thousands of dollars paid out for meals at Chinese restaurants and fancy bistros. This is the kind of corruption that progressives have quite properly excoriated; where political operatives and consultants raise money and create PACs only to use them as vehicles for their own enrichment. This tells you precisely what sort-of person Krystal Ball is. And you therefore would not be surprised that she would be willing to act as a shill for extreme right conservative forces and to carry water for them, if the price was right.

@Snappingturtle 267 You don't seem to get, that there might be a qualitative difference between having some old mildly embarrassing photos of yourself out there and cheating on your wife and newborn son. It's not just about the time that has passed. Also that wasn't something that happened in trumps youth, he has not or just barely changed since then so he hasn't evolved past it either.
@Snappingturtle 267 I'm not even American, I don't know why you assume I'd have re-elected this guy. Also it's fucking stupid how Americans think they can justify anything by pointing out how people on the other side did something similar. Just hearing trump speak or reading what he writes on twitter should be enough to convince you that this person should never be in such a position of power. I don't care if you vote for another conservative candidate if that's what you think is the right choice but I can't understand how you can vote for someone who's that rash and immature, who's less smart and articulate than the average person (at least I'm pretty sure that's true for the average American as well) and proposes solutions from the middle ages like the wall. "But we can elect a stupid candidate because the libtards also elected a stupid candidate in the past" Yeah I'm sure this argument will help your country out a lot...
It really wasn't though...just more "manufacturing consent". The media determined it was a scandal (you can always find some offended middle-aged housewife to interview for a news-piece) and thus it became one (and a very brief one...Krystal is a major part of the progressive movement now).
@Snappingturtle 267 Are you seriously comparing photos of young adults goofing around with sex toys with the sexual misconduct allegations against Trump?! Those are the same things in your mind?
"Hillary Clinton is a woman of strength I looked up to growing up" > ya like that?... Instead of being a progressive media voice, if she'd won that Congressional race & became a politician, today she'd be a standard party-line corporate Democrat
@@imafonkydonkeyding-dongboy9983 Maybe she would've, nobody can say for certain, what we do know is that her path took her in a very different direction and like most of us, her political views have evolved over time as she's learned more and spoken to a wide variety of people. She advocates for unions and the working class, these days, and I think that's a worthy way to use her airtime. Truth is, people will find a way to criticize her no matter what she does. I used to think well of Hillary Clinton until I stopped listening to mainstream news and did a little digging. Now, she's as transparently corrupt as the worst of them. I think it's ok to evolve, don't you, dongBOY?
Wow Krystal is now a great host on Rising. July 2019. She's Progressive and awesome. Big effing deal she was dressed in fishnets messing with her husband.
@Snappingturtle 267 oh man was that interview cringe worthy. Candace does well for a long time, but then goes into a tailspin when she uses Krystal as an example of racism at the same time as claiming she didn't call Krystal racist. Both did bad but Candace did worse as she tried to shout down her "opponent" once she found something to latch on to and spin. Why did she do that? To charm people like you, and you fell for it.
A couple years ago, AOC was so scandalous to be dancing fully clothed during her college days. People are jealous of the beauty and fun loving ways of others.
Hillary Clinton can be respected in certain ways. The truth is that she's got a complex history. She's both a pioneering blazerunner and a status quo establishment hack. She's important for raising the profile of female politicians in America, and yet utterly unimportant. She is both of these things at once.
@Snappingturtle 267 Young Americans do want socialism. It's just a matter of time before the U.S. follows the rest of the industrialized world in getting universal health care. There is nothing childish about socialism which is all about solidarity and contribution to the greater whole. What is childish is the idea that a slight tax increase for billionares is somehow taking things too far. The billionares can't share their toys with the rest of us? Boo hoo. What is childish is the illusion that individuals have the same opportunities to succeed in American society when the enormous wealth disparities in this country are so apparent. The current system is immoral and inefficient and Bernie is the man to change that. And there is absolutely nothing ballsy about being centrist in a country which is governed by alt-right maniacs.
@Snappingturtle 267 I actually have things to do in my life other than debating with some frustrated incel on RUclips.

Now get the fuck out of my notifications, please
Alas, we just learned that Tulsi is also just an establishment hack. Otherwise Tulsi would have endorsed Bernie after she dropped out. It's sad and disappointing to see that Bernie was the only real progressive candidate!
@@seriesjunkie0074 If he was a real and progressive candidate. Why did he stop criticizing millionaires when he became one and began to only focus on billionaires? It's well known that he did it. When he was running for president in 2016, he criticized both millionaires and billionaires. But once he became a millionaire, he stopped calling them out and only calls out billionaires. Plus, he advocated for $15 dollars an hour for corporations to pay their employees but yet didn't even pay his own staff that much. Just like Cenk from the Young Turks. He was all about unions for workers but yet didn't want his own employees unionizing. The same for Alexandria Ocasio Cortez. She told and said the %1 weren't paying their fair share in taxes but yet recently. She got a notice saying she didn't pay her taxes on a failed business venture she did several years ago. But yet she thinks she shouldn't pay for it because it hasn't been around for years and she refuses to pay. But yet tells people richer than her to pay their fair share of taxes while she didn't pay hers for a failed business venture years ago. What's the point I'm making? I'm making a point of how hypocritical some people in politics are. This applies to anyone in politics whether they are conservative(I'm one), liberal or moderate. Don't tell others to do something if you aren't doing it or haven't done it yourself. And Bernie Sanders, Cenk from the Young Turks, and Alexandria Ocasio Cortez(AOC) are all hypocritical.
@@sucram1015 Millionaires don't need to be criticized. I don't mind that millionaires exist. But they should pay their fair share of taxes. They should have to pay higher taxes than people who are less wealthy! And the more money you have, the higher taxes you should pay! The wealthy can afford paying taxes, the poor, however, can't!
@S S Bernie fought for the run-of-the-mill Americans! He voted against wars, tax cuts for billionaires, cuts in Medicare, Medicaid, food stamps, social security! That's what he did!
@Snappingturtle 267 if Trump showed, in any way, that he was having an actual sexual relationship with his wife in a monogamous way, I guarantee it would absolutely shock us...but not in the way you're thinking.
@Snappingturtle 267 well if someone doesn't hold Trump to the same standard as they do for Democrats or vice-versa, they are dishonest and unworthy of being addressed in the first place. That's why I didn't understand. That's also why I didn't completely lose it on "Ukraine gate". Trump might have had bad motives but his actions were technically not illegal. And keep in mind, I don't particularly like him (though I won't pretend I hate him either). However, threatening people and whatnot who is testifying could be. I don't know the law of the USA but at the very least, it doesn't look legal. Either way, this destitution is not going to work. Also, what Trump did to receive all this backlash, almost every president has done. It's called an embargo. Yes Ukraine is in "war" with Russia. But at the same time, they're also establishing connections and trying to resolve the conflict peacefully. So the weapons were not completely necessary. Also, there's been worse. For example,when Cuba was in the middle of reorganizing its country, what the US do? Embargo. North Korea's people is in dire need of humanitarian help and food from developed countries as the leaders eat as they wish, totally unaffected by all the sanctions. What is the US doing? Embargo. Compare that to withholding a few weapons for a conflict that's in the process of being resolved and you can see the discrepancy. I hope that you'll agree.
Snappingturtle 267 shut up. One of the most intellectually honest hosts in the game. When the truth is on the liberal or progressive side then that's how you report it
@Snappingturtle 267 I've just watched the interview. She didn't come across as racist to me. Candace Owens' politics are very much fixated on race (her forthcoming book is titled "Blackout: How Black America Can Make Its Second Escape from the Democrat Plantation") and it's not racist to ask questions about that.
She could have begun the movement we now have with AOC, exciting a new generation into politics. That being said, Krystal still is an important voice in progressive politics: no election could change that :-)
@ambergris lo: Did you even read what I said? Just to spell it out for you, I said that Kystal would have been made to conform to the establishment in the same way that AOC is being made to today. Incidentally, the same goes for Sanders: "My friend Joe", etc. Of course, that implies I don't believe you can change things from inside the Democratic Party. I'll go even further. Both the Republican and Democratic parties have always been capitalist parties looking out for capitalist class interests. The working class needs its own leaders and candidates chosen from its own ranks and under its control. That is, the working class needs its own political representation: a Labor Party. I hope this clarifies things for you.
4:57 “we all make mistakes” - I think her original response was a lot tougher and more correct: we all have sexual lives and should not be ashamed of it. It was not a “mistake”...
@Snappingturtle 267 For him, he admitted that he wants to grab women’s genitalia, which is a bit on the borderline for sexual assault. And he said that if Ivanka wasn’t his daughter, he’ll date her. That’s incestuously gross
Yeah this is just now popping up for me too. I'm curious if it's bc now that she's on mainstream media doing interviews, that people are looking her up and trying to find out who she is. Or it could be bc she sometimes brings up this incident from time to time, whenever sexism is a topic of discussion. I know she's against the fake "woke" version of sexism like Warren's lies about Bernie or the Clintonite "Bernie Bro" smear, but she uses this past debacle to highlight how those are much different from being actually targeted & undermined as a woman.
Probably just matching up the name with other stuff you or I have watched , and that’s all. Unless there were “not safe for work” photos they couldn’t show, these were pretty tame for personal pics. Even 10 years ago. I’ve seen the stupid pics my kids and their friends put on Facebook. This was a yawn.
Yep, watch what you eat. a shitload of meat has growth hormones in them it ages people very badly. 14yr old European vs 14 yr old American is a huge difference. ( Yea there's a reason why US meat isn';t allowed in the EU without conforming to EU regulations )
@Snappingturtle 267 How’s that any different from your favorite news network, Fox News? I guess Tucker Carlson and Sean Hannity are biased conservatives
Snappingturtle 267 a lot of news nowadays has bias. CNN and MSNBC are definitely biased in a few ways, especially in supporting big money and corporations. Same with Fox News. They all defend rich people.
Snappingturtle 267 Money is power in our society. In America, the government is supposed to get its power from the governed. Rich people and corporations keep trying to grab hold of the government to make it work for them. It’s just in their interests. That tendency needs to be pushed back against.
@Snappingturtle 267 why does everyone ask this question. Any same person would answer yes. We don't care about people,s sexual lives, unless they raped someone.
Snappingturtle 267 - “if Trump did the dame thing?” What? Take pictures at a party with a Santa hat and dildo for a nose? Who gives a flying reign deer? Trump is a scumbag, but not because of his attire at parties.
It's like, everybody is here because Rising on The Hill TV brought them here. Imagine just nine years later she would become one of the best progressive commentators in America!
Not ONE of those photos is even CLOSE to being "racy." Krystal Ball is a true progressive, a real human being, so I guess the people weren't ready for that.
The scandal is not the photos. The real scandal here is the loser(s) who had to dig up her photos and try to smear her with it. When she didn't' apologize for it which nobody should they had nothing left. No power over her. The depths they will go to.
I love Krystal Ball. I think Krystal looks hot in those photos and damn, she's still pretty but she was in her peak in this interview. Too bad she didnt get elected to congress but what she has done for New media is invaluable.
Snappingturtle 267 I judge someone running for office based on policy and if their past makes them a trustworthy candidate or if they are full of chit. That is why I’m a Bernie supporter because I know he means what he says. Trump was always full of chit. He has always been a con man.
I am shocked, appalled, and offended...by the poor lighting in these photos. Krystal Ball doesn't believe in proper lighting, how can she be trusted with your vote???
Yes, lights are so important, just think for a moment, you cannot see without it. Wee have to fight for the proper amount, it is a disgrace that we got so low.
Yea not scandalous at all, sorry main stream media it just means that she’s real and not fake. Plus she’s really really hot so it only makes me like her more 👍
Krystal can do no wrong. She’s exactly what we need in journalism. This clip was recommended today (June 13,2021) I can’t believe I never noticed her full name as a joke. Lol. Goes to show how serious I take her content and what she does.
Finally, someone I have long wanted in office. So glad to hear this news. About time. First getting you in office. So many curb balls. I remember the talk of those photos. MSMBC actually fired you. I stopped watching MSNBC . Let those stupid photos go. Enough. I hope you win. I’ll work for you when you run. So happy . In a lazy mess. This finally woke me. Bye and good luck.
I carn't believe this is actually a talking point, we've all done some sort of silliness in our personal lives, grow up people she was at a party having fun with her "Husband" 🤦🏽♂️ ps her journalism is fair and not biased ( yet ) I hope it stays that way. 👍🏽 krystal
Odd how this auto plays right after watching rising. I’m honestly ashamed that she isn’t a leader in Congress where her ideals could have a bigger impact. I’m happy that she is at least still fighting with her use of progressive media. She is a very strong person and glad to have found her content

Also, what Trump did to receive all this backlash, almost every president has done. It's called an embargo. Yes Ukraine is in "war" with Russia. But at the same time, they're also establishing connections and trying to resolve the conflict peacefully. So the weapons were not completely necessary.
Also, there's been worse. For example,when Cuba was in the middle of reorganizing its country, what the US do? Embargo. North Korea's people is in dire need of humanitarian help and food from developed countries as the leaders eat as they wish, totally unaffected by all the sanctions. What is the US doing? Embargo.
Compare that to withholding a few weapons for a conflict that's in the process of being resolved and you can see the discrepancy.
I hope that you'll agree.
@Snappingturtle 267 yes, if Drump wore fishnets and was playing with a dildo it would be wrong.
Oh my god, she went to a party and had a good time once. She is unfit for office✋🙄🤚
Maybe she'd have been president if she grabbed herself by the.
She has a sense of humor, sharp, and is absolutely beautiful. Jealously imo.
Snappingturtle 267 shut up. One of the most intellectually honest hosts in the game. When the truth is on the liberal or progressive side then that's how you report it
@Snappingturtle 267 I've just watched the interview. She didn't come across as racist to me. Candace Owens' politics are very much fixated on race (her forthcoming book is titled "Blackout: How Black America Can Make Its Second Escape from the Democrat Plantation") and it's not racist to ask questions about that.
Krystal Ball is awesome, your report is lame.
she needs to run again (also it wasn’t a mistake, it was having fun)
Damn! Imagine having Krystal Ball in Congress for the last 9 years.
She could have begun the movement we now have with AOC, exciting a new generation into politics. That being said, Krystal still is an important voice in progressive politics: no election could change that :-)
Yep, I can imagine it. She would have been molded into conformity the same way AOC is now.
Currency Lad you can’t create change from the inside!!!
@ambergris lo:
Did you even read what I said?
Just to spell it out for you, I said that Kystal would have been made to conform to the establishment in the same way that AOC is being made to today. Incidentally, the same goes for Sanders: "My friend Joe", etc.
Of course, that implies I don't believe you can change things from inside the Democratic Party.
I'll go even further. Both the Republican and Democratic parties have always been capitalist parties looking out for capitalist class interests. The working class needs its own leaders and candidates chosen from its own ranks and under its control. That is, the working class needs its own political representation: a Labor Party.
I hope this clarifies things for you.
We would have actually had a leader in place and maybe someone to encourage the squad to actually have fucking spines.
4:57 “we all make mistakes” - I think her original response was a lot tougher and more correct: we all have sexual lives and should not be ashamed of it.
It was not a “mistake”...
It was a mistake to allow cameras at the event or to pose for the pictures.
I love how scandals are nothing like this anymore.
Lol it seems like this was recommended to everyone 8 years later
@Snappingturtle 267 trumptrumptrump
Your mind:
These Eyes See Darkness Clearly and even today!!!
Lol it just got recommended to me.
Krystal is so brave and I have a tremendous amount of respect for her.
The pictures are neither "embarrassing" nor "suggestive" -- is the editor at ABC a 5-year-old?
@Snappingturtle 267 For him, he admitted that he wants to grab women’s genitalia, which is a bit on the borderline for sexual assault. And he said that if Ivanka wasn’t his daughter, he’ll date her. That’s incestuously gross
whatever . she is amazing . love her .
Why is this 9 year old video in my recommended? Looks like someone is trying to submarine The Hill.
Just happened to me too. Definitely made me🤔
@@NileSings same here I wondering the same
Yeah this is just now popping up for me too. I'm curious if it's bc now that she's on mainstream media doing interviews, that people are looking her up and trying to find out who she is. Or it could be bc she sometimes brings up this incident from time to time, whenever sexism is a topic of discussion. I know she's against the fake "woke" version of sexism like Warren's lies about Bernie or the Clintonite "Bernie Bro" smear, but she uses this past debacle to highlight how those are much different from being actually targeted & undermined as a woman.
Right. This just makes me like her more
Probably just matching up the name with other stuff you or I have watched , and that’s all.
Unless there were “not safe for work” photos they couldn’t show, these were pretty tame for personal pics. Even 10 years ago. I’ve seen the stupid pics my kids and their friends put on Facebook. This was a yawn.
She's one of the best jounalist there is Today !
Rock on Krystal Ball! You make a much better role model for young women.
@Snappingturtle 267 and youre a clown.
Krystal Ball rocks rising now. No regrets!
That Made me Support her Even More!
I Always watch the Hill Rising!😉💪❤👍😇
Krystal is an American hero
@Snappingturtle 267 Get him to do it and we will see.
"SEXIST SMEAR CAMPAIGN?"
I know it was eight years ago, but you could have removed the question mark.
@Snappingturtle 267 Absolutely, fuck Trump.
Impeach.
@mharris1270 Ok, I get your message. But that delivery, man, yikes.
Krystal still looks exactly the same almost 10 years later.
Yep, watch what you eat. a shitload of meat has growth hormones in them it ages people very badly.
14yr old European vs 14 yr old American is a huge difference. ( Yea there's a reason why US meat isn';t allowed in the EU without conforming to EU regulations )
Krystal was and is still such a boss! So happy she's doing great on rising
These photos aren’t embarrassing. Wtf? I’m glad that she’s on Rising. She’s awesome.
@Snappingturtle 267 How’s that any different from your favorite news network, Fox News? I guess Tucker Carlson and Sean Hannity are biased conservatives
Snappingturtle 267 a lot of news nowadays has bias. CNN and MSNBC are definitely biased in a few ways, especially in supporting big money and corporations. Same with Fox News. They all defend rich people.
Snappingturtle 267 Money is power in our society. In America, the government is supposed to get its power from the governed. Rich people and corporations keep trying to grab hold of the government to make it work for them. It’s just in their interests. That tendency needs to be pushed back against.
What the hell does that have to do with her intellect.
You rock Krystal Ball. Smart, outspoken, principled, and easy on the eyes. New favorite RUclips person for me 💯!
OK so I heard her speak out about this on her show and thought there was something there! Is this it? Really?
@Snappingturtle 267 why does everyone ask this question.
Any same person would answer yes. We don't care about people,s sexual lives, unless they raped someone.
“I like how she’s fighting for working class people like me but reeeeeeeeee she’s wearing fishnets”
You got a laugh outta me, and its been a minute.
Hillary was a huge influence for Krystal, wow, I’m shocked 🙄 if nothing else she spoke much less condescendingly 12 years ago
Intelligent, articulate, passionate, and still making a HUGE impact --and apparently great fun at parties. She'd have my vote!
Eric Peterson here here
What an absurd fuss about nothing! Krystal is brilliant, and I look forward to hearing what she has to say every day on The Hill's "Rising".
Damn, and she still hasn't backed down. Good on her!
Good job in showing the "scandalous" photos over an over, concentrating only on the facts for the interview ...
1:38 >> “somebody’s gonna see it”
Yeah, “somebody” like that old biddy with the haunting suspicion that somebody is having a life somewhere.
Snappingturtle 267 - “if Trump did the dame thing?”
What? Take pictures at a party with a Santa hat and dildo for a nose? Who gives a flying reign deer?
Trump is a scumbag, but not because of his attire at parties.
Oh Karen. You know Karen too huh
So she partied in her 20's ...wow big fucking deal.
It's like, everybody is here because Rising on The Hill TV brought them here. Imagine just nine years later she would become one of the best progressive commentators in America!
She looks all right to me. Just having a little innocent fun! Dear God, do you have nothing else of substance to cover?
Krystal Ball is sexier now than she was 12 years ago. However, Kaitlin Collins of CNN has her beat.
Can't believe I could like Krystal even more, y'all keep proving me wrong
Not ONE of those photos is even CLOSE to being "racy." Krystal Ball is a true progressive, a real human being, so I guess the people weren't ready for that.
The scandal is not the photos. The real scandal here is the loser(s) who had to dig up her photos and try to smear her with it. When she didn't' apologize for it which nobody should they had nothing left. No power over her. The depths they will go to.
I love Krystal Ball, I wish she was still on MSNBC.
I love Krystal Ball. I think Krystal looks hot in those photos and damn, she's still pretty but she was in her peak in this interview. Too bad she didnt get elected to congress but what she has done for New media is invaluable.
I think Krystal needs to run again. She’s amazing.
I wish she would run again...can you imagine having Nina...Krystal...and Bri run and win in congress??? NOw this IS the SQUAD!
The OG AOC. Congrats too her on her show and book!
Jason Martinez nothing like sell out AOC
AOC isn't even AOC anymore. Just a shill pushing the democratic elite agenda
Love her💕she’s beautiful inside and out. Bernie 2020.
This feels like an Onion report considering the political environment now
Kyle Cucklinski is wifing this woman up (for the third time) LUL
Krystal Ball is a badass journalist and deserves credit. Watch her on The Hill Rising for some 100% real news.
I didn't know Krystal Ball was a freak like that
Uh, so she was a normal twenty something. I don’t see the issue.
Snappingturtle 267
I judge someone running for office based on policy and if their past makes them a trustworthy candidate or if they are full of chit. That is why I’m a Bernie supporter because I know he means what he says. Trump was always full of chit. He has always been a con man.
Did her Dad realize that their last name was Ball when he named her Krystal?
I am shocked, appalled, and offended...by the poor lighting in these photos. Krystal Ball doesn't believe in proper lighting, how can she be trusted with your vote???
Yes, lights are so important, just think for a moment, you cannot see without it.
Wee have to fight for the proper amount, it is a disgrace that we got so low.
Her dad is a Ph.D. physicist. No wonder she is so smart. Go get them, Krystal.
Krystal Ball is nothing like Clinton -- Krystal Ball actually has integrity and liberal ideals.
Krystal Ball is compared to Ms. Candace Owens a bucket of gravel, in any level......
Just saw this, I like Krystal even more now.
Wow!!!😮😯 ..Krystal has aged very well. I had no clue that she's been around this long!!! ..She's *STILL* beautiful in 2022!!😍😍😍
Yea not scandalous at all, sorry main stream media it just means that she’s real and not fake. Plus she’s really really hot so it only makes me like her more 👍
Be careful? Why? Of course don't be ashamed. There was nothing wrong with the pictures in the first place.
Good for her. ✊ She is an inspiration for others.
Can you show those pictures a few more times I don't think we get it yet
Krystal We love you!!! You’re authentic, and actually fighting for real issues.
She's doing a great job sticking it to the MSM. She'll always have my respect for that.
Krystal can do no wrong. She’s exactly what we need in journalism. This clip was recommended today (June 13,2021) I can’t believe I never noticed her full name as a joke. Lol. Goes to show how serious I take her content and what she does.
The only crime is that there wasn't more photos.
Damn this was 10 years ago
Of course, if it was Candace Owen in reverse I'm sure ABC would share the same empathy.
She is cooler than I thought!
Krystal and AOC will make Bernie Sanders president! 💞
Bernie is older than Krystal and AOC combined.
Krystal doesn't age! She's come so far since this, too. Teach me your secrets, senpai.
Wasn’t poor judgement. Wasn’t a mistake.
It’s poor judgement to go to a party and have fun? Wow 😯
Finally, someone I have long wanted in office. So glad to hear this news. About time. First getting you in office. So many curb balls. I remember the talk of those photos. MSMBC actually fired you. I stopped watching MSNBC . Let those stupid photos go. Enough. I hope you win. I’ll work for you when you run. So happy . In a lazy mess. This finally woke me. Bye and good luck.
This was 12 years ago
I carn't believe this is actually a talking point, we've all done some sort of silliness in our personal lives, grow up people she was at a party having fun with her "Husband" 🤦🏽♂️ ps her journalism is fair and not biased ( yet ) I hope it stays that way. 👍🏽 krystal
She is totally bias btw
Who else is here 11 years later laughing at the "scandalous" pics? Great to see things have changed in the right direction.
wow she is beautiful!
Krystal Ball is awesome! She is smart as a tack. Also, i am also so glad of the positive message that her show is offering.
Odd how this auto plays right after watching rising. I’m honestly ashamed that she isn’t a leader in Congress where her ideals could have a bigger impact. I’m happy that she is at least still fighting with her use of progressive media. She is a very strong person and glad to have found her content
Says more about the people who thought this was a big deal than it does about Krystal. Big fan!
She's much smarter and more mature than Katie Hill! 💞🙏
Krystal is a doll! Embarrassing photos? No. The idiots who are trying to embarrass her are the ones who should feel embarrass.
Kyle is one lucky bastard, lol
How? For dating someone his mother's age?
@@m.b5777 Agreed.
Honestly I agree
We have all done stupid things in our youth like posing in inappropriate photos or having Hillary Clinton as a role model.
Nevermind Haha-only mistake she made was maybe having Hilary as a role model-but that was then. Now, a very strong Bernie supporter. You go girl!
Love her even more now! Shes awesome!😊💜😘✌
Krystal is a G
Really wish Krystal would run for something again
Krystal is extremely rude! I feel she's not a person I would enjoy to have a conversation with.
We
It is no accident that when you put her name in youtube this is the first thing they decide to show you.
