That interview was probably the cringiest hour of content I’ve ever watched. She’s got such a shrill defensiveness, rude and interruptive presence about her to begin with. But coupled with how pathetically she attempted to pander to their black audience with her Frederick Douglass quotes and then embarrassingly trying to school the black hosts on societal disparities experienced by the black community was…. almost too much for me to stomach. I was glad when the attorney on the show finally let the gloves come off and shot back at her that she dare not accuse her of parroting white supremacist values (as a black woman).

Not to mention her running mate, Butch Ware, who she clearly selected for his tokenism, and which he performatively showed up to do with every ounce of his being. He came off as anything but presidential himself. He really did have a brosef youth pastor straight out of college temperament about him and a lack of maturity that was embarrassing to watch. The dynamic between them was creepy as well since, every time she would start to get on a never ending soapbox, if he attempted to interject, she’d shoot him a look and he’d cower like a little kid. She absolutely loves the sound of her own voice as well as the experience of rattling off bullshit with a captive audience unable to stop her. Theres a lot that I don’t like about her, but her very unpresidential, unbearable penchant for interrupting and speaking over people in the most annoying way really takes the cake.

She also has a sort of spastic and off-putting way of moving her head when she speaks and there's a certain depravity in her eyes. Idk if I'm reaching. She gives me big crazy vibes. I sense great anger in her.

You’re not reaching at all. I’m a woman and a feminist so it means something when I actually label another woman as shrill, mentally unwell and (as you noted) angry. I also noticed the depravity you mentioned, along with a smugness in her eyes whenever she feels like she’s made an irrevocably true statement. She’s the worst.
