I'll have more facts on the biggest donors to Walker's campaign tomorrow. — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

I lay out the actual facts in the thread below (which are not great for @HomeDepot!). But this thread still has less engagement than the original (false) tweet. https://t.co/wjCWkH5NiD — PolitiTweet.org

@TheRealHoarse @HomeDepot Yes, and all it does is crowd out useful and accurate information. — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

I spend quite a bit of time uncovering factual information about corporate political spending and making sure people are informed. It's not easy. And there are other great sources of accurate info. Firing off misinformation for retweets undermines all this work. — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

I can understand making a mistake. I make mistakes. But the fact that this is up several days later shows intentionality. And false information gives corporations like @HomeDepot an easy out. The actual facts are damning. https://t.co/dYRp8Q5KrA — PolitiTweet.org

There are scammers on the left and right. No political affiliation has a monopoly on grift. One of the easiest ways to build an audience on Twitter is to push misinformation and there are plenty of people on the left who use Twitter that way. Avoid them at all costs. — PolitiTweet.org

@marcustheory I might try it from time to time but would be hard to make the videos and still write a good newsletter. — PolitiTweet.org

New Hampshire Republican Senate candidate Don Bolduc told supporters last week that abortion decisions “belong” to “gentlemen” in the state legislature. https://t.co/BAIRFWtKRw — PolitiTweet.org

Just FYI, you can support free speech without endorsing antisemitism. The First Amendment does not require you to be racist. — PolitiTweet.org

Kanye has spent the last several days promoting antisemitism and racism, and the House Judiciary Republicans could delete this tweet at any time. It's not an accident that it's still up. — PolitiTweet.org

Now, Walker says: 1. The woman who accused him of paying for an abortion is the mother of one of his kids 2. She may have had an abortion 3. He may have sent her a check and a get-well card around the time of her abortion 4. He doesn't remember why he sent the card or money — PolitiTweet.org

First, Herschel Walker said: 1. He had "no idea" who was accusing him of paying for an abortion 2. The entire Daily Beast story was a lie 3. He was going to immediately sue for defamation — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

8. I'm not sure why @Axios would report that @HomeDepot didn't donate $1.75 million to PACs supporting Herschel Walker without reporting that @HomeDepot did donate $100,000 to PACs supporting Walker. But that's what they did. https://t.co/XkJ5xFbMXM — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

Herschel Walker said he never paid for a woman to have an abortion and promised to file a defamation lawsuit against the Daily Beast on Tuesday morning. It's now Saturday morning. Still no lawsuit. — PolitiTweet.org

@HomeDepot 6. If you are interested in more info on @HomeDepot's political contributions, the company has also donated $525,000 this cycle to members of Congress that voted to overturn the 2020 election. That's the third-most of any company. https://t.co/WfpMu7vufc — PolitiTweet.org

5. Spreading inaccurate information online about corporation contributions lets corporations like @HomeDepot off easy. The verifiable facts are damning. — PolitiTweet.org

@HomeDepot @NRSC 4. @HomeDepot is happy to tell you that it was Marcus that donated 1.75 million to a PAC supporting Walker's campaign, but the company is not acknowledging that it has donated at least $100,000 to PACs supporting Walker's campaign https://t.co/CTLgxfW8NK — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

3. This election cycle, @HomeDepot has donated $90,000 to the @NRSC, an organization that is spending millions to get Walker elected. @HomeDepot has also donated $10,000 to the Bluegrass Committee, Mitch McConnell's Leadership PAC, which is supporting Walker — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

@HomeDepot 2. There are a number of inaccurate tweets floating around claiming @HomeDepot donated $1.75 million to Walker Those tweets are unsourced and false Home Depot's FOUNDER, Bernie Marcus, donated $1.75 million. But he doesn't work there anymore But that's not the whole story — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

1. @HomeDepot would like you to believe that it is not supporting Herschel Walker's campaign. THIS IS FALSE. Home Depot is providing financial support for Walker. Follow along for receipts. https://t.co/wzyIttk99q — PolitiTweet.org

Mark Finchem, a conspiracy theorist and the GOP nominee for Secretary of State in Arizona, claimed that Google was blocking his campaign site. Actually, his site included code directing Google not to index it. In other words, Finchem was blocking his own site. — PolitiTweet.org

Herschel Walker promised to sue The Daily Beast on Tuesday morning for defamation. Walker said he never paid a woman for an abortion and The Daily Beast report was a lie. It is now Friday morning. No lawsuit has been filed. — PolitiTweet.org
