==Gun nut==

A die-hard [[gun nut]], she published the [[conspiracy theory|conspiracy theorist]] anti-[[Barack Obama|Obama]] book ''Emily Gets Her Gun ... But Obama Wants to Take Yours'' in September 2013.

She implicated her former fiancé Michael Scanlon in a political scandal after he broke off their engagement; he was subsequently convicted on federal corruption charges and sent to prison.

You are dead to us!"<ref>Jason Leopold, [http://www.rawstory.com/news/2005/How_Jack_Abramoff_and_Michael_Scanlon_0103.html How they got caught: After lobbyist broke off engagement, ex-fiancee told of illicit dealings to FBI], 3 January 2006</ref>
