Later, Klepper’s anti-Trump activism gave way to Lydic’s pro-Democrat activism when she interviewed Alexis Goldstein, Alissa Ellman, Michael Duffin, and Tracy Starr about their new career ambitions. While Lydic utilized heavy amounts of sarcasm throughout the segment, it was obvious the point was to portray the quartet as the epitome of public service. Towards the end she declared, “These people who were fired for waste, fraud, and abuse are about to voluntarily enter a world of waste, fraud, and abuse, and it was obvious from their half-baked revenge plots that they were going to need my help.”
Talking with Ellman, she questioned, “You're about to go up against some seriously corrupt politicians. I need to test you to see if you are ready. Tell me your party platform in 15 seconds.”
Ellman replied with, “Anticorruption, government reform, working mom,” but the sarcastic Lydic replied, “Wrong. You didn't ask me for a donation once. Not once.”
