President Joe Biden’s American Sign Language (ASL) interpreter reportedly manages a pro-Trump Facebook group that provides sign language accompaniments to right-wing videos. ASL interpreter Heather Mewshaw was introduced by press secretary Jen Psaki as “today’s interpreter, Heather” on Monday, as the administration announced it would be adding a sign language interpreter to its daily press briefings. However, on Wednesday, Time magazine reported that Ms Mewshaw manages the Hands of Liberty Facebook page, which has featured ASL interpreters providing sign language accompaniments to videos featuring former President Donald Trump and his personal attorney Rudy Giuliani.

How long before Heather is put under arrest for supporting MAGA? At the very least, the cries to have her cancelled are sure to be loud and long.

So. This is actually happening in broad daylight.
Political enemies of the state are being purged. Denied employment. Blacklisted. Arrested.
And next?

About these sign language folk. They all seem to speak a different hand. Is anyone vetting these people?

I think they should let her stick around (as long as she heads straight to a re-education camp first!)

Another sign of ignorance/stupidity of our new administration. The Registry of Interpreters for the Deaf (RID) has a huge pool of interpreters - from everywhere, and any political or other point of view. They could have simply asked for a few candidates ... but again, ignorance ...

Crucify her! Give is... give us... hold on now - I cannot for the life of me think of a liberal who is serving time.

I'm hearing impaired, due to age, too much time on the flight line, and too much waterfowl hunting. I have two hearing aids, thanks to the VA.
I use the closed caption feature on our tv. I don't miss a thing.
Does any tv exist any more without closed captioning? I don't think so.
Is there a deaf reporter covering Dementia Jo's muddled utterances?
If not, the sign language person is nothing but a distraction, or some kind of virtue signaling.
And if we can't get rid of the sign language person, at least give us an option on our TV sets to block out that ANNOYANCE.
I would add a comment about Underwear For The Deaf, a la Mad Magazine, or that black dude's shouting in place of ASL on SNL, but that would be wrong.

During the McCarthy era an alleged subversive was denied a license to tune pianos. We have reached that stage.

If Heather is fired for her political views, I suggest she sign off with one finger. No interpretation will be required.

I wonder how that slipped by them.
I hope she doesn't have plans for a long stay.

And if the FBI isn't on their way to arrest her you better check and see if she has Antifa or BLM gear around. Some people wear a lot of hats, but only take a few, seriously.

2nd post apologies, but,
Dementia Jo could use that schizophrenic South African, who pretended to be signing, at Nelson Mandela's funeral.
He , like Biden, makes no sense.
