In 2000, Gore’s team requested recounts in four Florida counties, not the whole state. It was criticized as a massive strategic blunder: proof that they just wanted to win, not correct the irregularities of the vote. — PolitiTweet.org

@McCormackJohn I have no doubt the ACB's religion did come up. So let me be clearer here. Conservatives and republicans said coverage of her religious views was inherently anti-Catholic. Was that correct? If so, how should that impact their approach to Warnocks views? — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Stein @samstein

@danpfeiffer I'm not. There is obviously a double standard here- as I've noted in several tweets preceding this. I'm trying to summarize how they're rationalizing it in this one — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Stein @samstein

@McCormackJohn But not Coney Barrett's beliefs? — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Stein @samstein

So, to summarize, what I’m getting from R's is that Warnock’s beliefs are fair game (and matter materially more than Barrett’s) because 1. He was delivering sermons 2. They were political in nature 3. Elected office v. Judicial nom Am I missing others? — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Stein @samstein

@patjhynes I never said her religious views should be off the table. Nor do I think Warnock’s sermons should be off the table. It’s important to know what these people have said and believe. But Republicans were very adamant that exploring ACB’s religious views was anti-Catholic. — PolitiTweet.org

@patjhynes It is fair game! Lol. — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Stein @samstein

@JJHunt10 Nope. I believe all this is fair to explore — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Stein @samstein

@McCormackJohn No. I think that's fair game. But my question still stands. The quote Rubio went after this morning is quite literally Warnocks summarization of a bible verse. Is that fair game for political attacks? — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Stein @samstein

@JJHunt10 Some sermons and religious beliefs are so outside the lines that they are fair game politically? And, additionally, religious views are fair game for elected pols but not for judicial noms? — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Stein @samstein

@JJHunt10 Ok. But back to my question. — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Stein @samstein

@mattdizwhitlock Now, I think those stories were fine! And I think stories exploring Warnock’s faith and sermons are fine too (assuming done in good faith, pardon the pun). But I’m wondering why Republicans who oppose Warnock are comfortable with those stories now — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Stein @samstein

@mattdizwhitlock Matt. I don’t think I’m overstating matters when I say that the entire Republican Party said questions of her faith were off limits and, indeed, anti-Catholic. The media did run stories. And those stories were condemned by Republicans for being attacks on faith. — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Stein @samstein

@JJHunt10 So some sermons and religious beliefs are so outside the lines that they are fair game politically? Genuinely curious if that's the explanation here — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Stein @samstein

I suppose the playbook for Dems here would be to accuse @marcorubio and others of being anti-Christian? Is that how this works? — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Stein @samstein

@TPCarney I agree — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Stein @samstein

Why are Raphael Warnock’s faith and sermons fair game for attack but Amy Coney Barrett’s religious views not? — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Stein @samstein

The people who called Gore Lieberman “sore loser man” should come up with some pithy nickname for the current temper tantrum taking place. — PolitiTweet.org

The hypocrisy is obviously a problem. But the real problem is how destructive this is from a public health policy standpoint. People are not going to follow his pleas to stay at home/practice social distancing now. And they’d have solid reasoning for why they won’t listen to him. — PolitiTweet.org
