After accusing President Trump of conjuring a “dark psychic force,” bestselling self-help author Marianne Williamson drew raucous applause at Tuesday’s Democratic presidential debate.
Asked a question about the water crisis in Flint, Michigan, Williamson continued campaigning on her anti-plan plan to win the nomination. Calling Flint the “tip of the iceberg,” the candidate pivoted to President Trump.
“If you think any of this wonkiness is going to deal with this dark psychic force of the collectivized hatred that this president is bringing up in this country, then I’m afraid that the Democrats are going to see some very dark days,” Williamson warned ominously.

The crowd loved it. From reparations to student loans, Williamson’s answers elicited strong rounds of applause repeatedly throughout Tuesday night’s debate.
During the June debate, Williamson drew headlines for arguing Democrats wouldn’t defeat Trump by “having all these plans.”
“I tell you one thing,” she said, “it’s nice if we have all these plans, but if you think we beat Donald Trump by having all these plans. He didn’t win by having a plan. He just said ‘make America great again.'”
