Ashley St. Clair’s Epic Grift Pivot – Twitchy

Before Ashley St. Clair had an about face because she was mad at Elon Musk, she was touted as the author of a book titled ‘Elephants Are Not Birds’. The book was a children’s book hitting back against the notion boys could become girls and vice versa. It made her a darling of the right. Now, she is distancing herself from the book. Alrighty, then.

In effort to make amends + in best interest of all parties, my name will be removed as author of Elephants Are Not Birds effective immediately

An obvious grift and pivot to becoming a liberal darling. She’ll be invited on CNN and left-wing podcasts to promote a new book in which she bashes Musk. https://t.co/SXeQKVKoyu

The right wing is fed up with her and getting an actual job is clearly not an option.

Sorry Ashley, but being cringe and changing beliefs because you got scorned doesn’t mean elephants can suddenly be birds. https://t.co/4S41GmIU2w pic.twitter.com/Y9QmlnBqby

Girl is going through a lot of effort to do PR on this book https://t.co/ktwEhvcJC1

The Left will buy it to see what their new darling used to think.

Another level of attention seeking.

And evidence that Ashley is grifting towards Vivian. Hopefully Viv has enough savvy to see what Ashley is doing and won’t be used as a pawn in her games.

You would never see JK Rowling doing this with Harry Potter. https://t.co/Jp0LpjIv0c

Oh, she is definitely trying to get in good with the other Mothers who hate Elon.

But you’re not giving the money you made back right? https://t.co/WoLK29p1V4

Heavens no! She loves her fancy lifestyle.

She is the most pathetic grifter on the internet. https://t.co/tlFQGzk6zj

Well, the competition is stiff.

Ladies and gentlemen this is a grifter looking for more money

She’ll hope this appeals to Anti-Musk woke TDS people

She’ll hope the Trans buy to support

She removed her name but still gets all the proceeds.

It’s all very transparent.

Why? You wrote it. Stand by it. https://t.co/y2voSUTjzg

Elon can’t get custody of that kid fast enough. https://t.co/5QniB1ey2q

That poor kid.

It is clear Ashley has no principles and intends to to grift off the left now. Thus she doesn’t want credit for her anti-trans book (but will still accept sales profits).

My take: Let her grift off the left, they deserve each other. https://t.co/EguOfYzRW6

Touche!

This is just ridiculous. I hate grifters. https://t.co/6p4AU6fMUR

They are the worst. The very worst.
