re: Mulkey sometimes comes across as oblivious.

I think she means well, but she has a history of not reading the room. The correct thing to do on Sunday would simply have been to keep her mouth shut. Perhaps acknowledge that it's unfortunate what happened, but we're moving on. She was probably unaware that Staley had already "apologized" on national TV, but someone around her should have told her. Her comment was 100% true, but she didn't have to make it and play into her enemies' hands. I think she just probably talks too much in general.

If she just leaves one statement out or modifies it slightly, she doesn't draw as much fire. She meant Cardosa should pick on someone her own size. She said it by using an example and saying "I wish she had done that to Angel". People ran with that in a way she didn't intend.

But the thing that makes her Kim Mulkey is that she speaks her mind and doesn't sugarcoat much. She could have given some ridiculous platitude as Staley and Cardosa did, never once apologizing to the person shoved to the ground by someone 10 inches taller than them.

So yes, she does come across that way on the surface at times, but anyone with any insight can see that she is not and that the media has an agenda they want to sell.
