8. Yesterday was an inflection point. I will continue tracking this story and figure out who is making changes and who is going back to business as usual. Sign up for my newsletter for updates and more accountability journalism. https://t.co/TfpCItdVSo — PolitiTweet.org

7. After yesterday's violence & attempted coup, corporate America faces a decision. Will it continue to support GOPers who embrace conspiracy theories for political gain? Or will they finally draw the line So far there are lots of words and little action https://t.co/75EYBrKDZH — PolitiTweet.org

6. Engaging in delusional conspiracies did not cost any of these Republicans support from corporate America After Loeffler and Perdue validated Trump's fraud claims, they received large contributions from corporations like @Ford, @Verizon, & @Microsoft https://t.co/75EYBs2eRf — PolitiTweet.org

5. Romney later reversed course and voted to impeach Trump last year. But hundreds of Republicans followed his lead and embraced Trump. We saw it recently in Georgia where two Wall Street Republicans, Perdue and Loeffler, decided to become MAGA-heads. https://t.co/75EYBrKDZH — PolitiTweet.org

4. The optics of this pic are key. ROMNEY is the nominee but he's traveling to TRUMP. There is no Romney branding. It's all designed to promote TRUMP's hotel This was the start of tolerating Trump's delusions, racism and self-dealing for political gain https://t.co/75EYBrKDZH https://t.co/7HmTibgy5E — PolitiTweet.org

3. So what did Romney do? He traveled to Trump's Vegas hotel to kiss Trump's ring and get his endorsement. This event transformed Trump from a side show to a GOP power player. And it established that conspiracy was acceptable in high-level GOP politics https://t.co/75EYBrKDZH https://t.co/5GNOdadlrC — PolitiTweet.org

2. The key moment came about 9 years ago, when Romney had just clinched the nomination, making him the most powerful person in GOP politics Trump, meanwhile, was getting attention for pushing the racist conspiracy theory that Obama was not born in the US https://t.co/75EYBrKDZH — PolitiTweet.org

1. Romney has gotten a lot of praise for saying the right things yesterday, and I get it. But I also think its important to take a broader perspective and understand Romney's role is creating the conditions the resulted in yesterday's riot. Follow along if interested. — PolitiTweet.org

“Mulvaney added that Trump was ‘not the same as he was eight months ago.’” This is such self-serving BS. Trump is exactly the same as he was 8 months ago — PolitiTweet.org

Bank of America has donated $448,500 to 51 Republicans who supported today’s attempted coup. When I asked Bank of America if it would continue supporting these Republicans in the future, the company didn’t respond. https://t.co/JhGHL1jEen — PolitiTweet.org
