@_AnarchoIndi I'm not saying to have empathy for him as a politician. I'm saying to have empathy for him as a human being. — PolitiTweet.org

The only thing lower and more pathetic than obsequiously *retracting your own beliefs in less than 24 hours to appease the anger of DC's Blob is bashing anti-war NGOs for what you did. The only thing lower than that is blaming your own staff. House Progressives did it all. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

The House Progressive Caucus issued a letter very deferentially requesting Biden pursue more diplomacy. Duss cheered it. But the DC Blob - govt and media - became enraged. Progressives meekly retracted, needed someone to blame leftists NGOs. Duss volunteered. Big future in DC. https://t.co/lMfmfpHT6S — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Such a DC tale: Duss got to be Bernie's Foreign Policy Aide by bashing US support for Israel: became a hero to the left. But as Bernie led leftists back into captivity to Dems - so he could be Finance Comm Chair - Duss is now the person who goes to TNR to bash leftists on war. https://t.co/Bj81qAL8dq — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

If you want to see how DC warps people, look at this behavior from Bernie's very-DC NatSec Advisor, @mattduss. He first heaped praise on the Ukraine letter. Then when House Progressives recanted and Bernie condemned it, he switched course: bashing it and blaming anti-war "NGOs": https://t.co/Jp2O82YioK — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

This debacle with the House Progressive Caucus and their willingness to abase themselves and apologize and crawl and repent -- due to the slightest pressure from the DC Blob over the slightest dissent possible -- is one of the most embarrassing and damaging spectacles in awhile: — PolitiTweet.org

Joe Biden often has no idea where he is, is often unable to string together two coherent sentences, and has started to fall asleep in the middle of interviews. Why are you so bigoted against people who struggle with a stutter? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

The attempt to render concerns about Fetterman's cognitive abilities off-limits and even bigoted are similar to the attempts to do the same for Biden. Anyone can compare Biden's abilities now to a decade ago, but any attempt to raise concerns was cast as hatred for "stutterers." — PolitiTweet.org

@moosenik 1) Nothing I said has anything to do with my views on Dr. Oz; 2) Stop trying to reduce gay men to nothing more than our sexual orientation, as though we can only vote on that; 3) You're lying: Oz supports marriage equality: https://t.co/Uv8qIM5act — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@nonsaintVincent Along with believing it was a disservice to those voting for him, this was my primary reason for making this decision. Everyone in his life agreed it was the right thing to do for him. I'm not going to judge the decision of Fetterman's family but this was my reasoning. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@padler1785 @Toyota_Echo Nobody has proof one way or the other because he refuses to release most of his medical records, relying instead on the assertion of his doctor. But everyone could watch for themselves as he participated in a debate last night and form their own judgments. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@suenosdeuomi My husband is also not in "a catatonic state." But either way, if you see no evidence that Fetterman is cognitively impaired, it's your right to make that judgment. I saw it differently. But my only point is it's of course relevant and necessary for reporters to discuss this. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@AmieDeVere Everyone can judge for themselves what they saw. He couldn't come close to explaining the differences in his statements on fracking and crime over the years. He just repeated the same 4-word phrase over and over. It's reasonable to say you don't care, but it's relevant to report. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@Toyota_Echo The argument from primarily white media liberals about Herschel Walker is he's extremely stupid. There's some some speculation he suffers medical injuries from football but no proof. Either way, I think cognitive and intellectual capabilities are reasonable factors to consider. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

I just had to make the gut-wrenching decision to withdraw my husband's candidacy for re-election to Congress due to health reasons. I didn't think: "oh, as long as he can put his thumb up or down for votes, it's fine." People deserve fully functioning, capable representation. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

At least in theory, Senators vote on whether the country will or will not go to war. They are responsible for oversight over every Executive Branch agency including CIA and FBI. They are supposed to advocate for their state and its citizens. This requires cognitive functioning. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Any decent human being - by definition - feels great empathy for Fetterman. It's likely we and/or our loved ones will be disabled by illness at some point. But this attempt to invent a new rule that it's "ableist" to discuss the cognitive abilities of candidates is just pathetic — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@LIBERT4D @mattduss First, he's now pretending he dislikes the substance of the letter after repeatedly praising it ("My assessment of the letter's contents isn't as harsh as some...."). Also, he knows it's false to blame NGOs for "blasting it out" since it was House Progressive Caucus that did that https://t.co/WaEWJVwOwp — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@mattduss Here's you repeatedly praising the letter before Jayapal and Bernie told you that you weren't allowed to with their public statements. Only then did you attack it. Worse, you know it wasn't NGOs who blasted it out because you cited the House Progressives Caucus trumpeting it: https://t.co/KjiKNomIJQ — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@mattduss Why are you speaking so deceitfully? You repeatedly praised the letter's contents until Jayapal and Bernie signaled that you weren't supposed to. Only then did you start criticizing it. Worse, it wasn't NGOs that "blasted out" the letter. It was them: https://t.co/I3xfFk2RzE — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@ThePerceptUSA @DashaBurns I honestly like Fetterman and think Oz is repellent. But that was just sad to watch. And it was a complete deviation from what huge parts of the media spent weeks claiming in order to ensure Dems get that seat. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

(Now that that above @vanguard_pod broadcast is over, the part to watch begins at 1:12:00. I really recommended it. Again, these two are leftists who love Fetterman. But watch what intellectually honest people do versus partisan hacks): https://t.co/eoHepDXCNX — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Meanwhile, watch what you do when you're a complete partisan hack who would happily cut off a limb if you thought it would help the Dem Party win an election (and obviously such a person is happy to lie to help Dems: just weird to work in "journalism"): https://t.co/ObQRgBK9uG — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

I've mentioned @vanguard_pod as a show to watch if you want to see two young, intellectually honest and smart leftists. They love Fetterman but watch what they said soon as the debate ended (it's at 1:43:20: they're still live). It's not hard to be honest https://t.co/eoHepDXCNX — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Anyone who watched any part of the debate between Fetterman and Oz knows exactly what happened - whether they're willing to admit or not - and people should read this thread, and remember what was done to @DashaBurns, to immediately see why people hate and distrust the media: — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Bernie Sanders condemns the House Progressives' original letter on Ukraine, says they were right to apologize for it and then retract it because it should never been issued at all, proceeds to recite Marco Rubio and Tom Cotton's views on Ukraine: https://t.co/ldMLaGxOzG — PolitiTweet.org
