Hold another prime-time hearing about the three-hour riot from 18 months ago. Or maybe remind everyone of collusion. — PolitiTweet.org

@crawlrath @shartnado42069 @Imlay901 Exactly: the classic Obama/Clinton voter, just with desperate poses to feel cooler than your mom when she drives you to the voting booth to vote like she does. I think the views of the people you vote to put in the Oval Office are a little more important than a cable host's. — PolitiTweet.org

@punishedpope I just want one of you bigoted leftist scumbags who call me a pedophile and cast David as an empty-headed little black boy too stupid and duped to understand his own life to put your real name on these accusations - just one time. I don't think that's asking too much. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@cowjuuls Why don't you put your real name on that allegation of pedophilia so that we can test it? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@punishedpope Why do leftists like you who try to cast my marriage as the byproduct of pedophilia and grooming, and to cast David as too stupid and confused to understand his own life without the help of superior Westerners like you, never have the courage to put your name on these tropes? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@crawlrath @shartnado42069 @Imlay901 Your entire time-line is filled with nothing but support for Democrats and, assuming you were old enough to do so, I don't believe that you didn't vote for both of them to occupy the most powerful political office on the planet. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@adammpark @Arbitrary_user @adamdavidson You're right. David Frum worked for the Bush White House and wrote the speeches that lied the country into one of the worst, most criminal, and deadliest wars in its history, whereas Jones never did anything comparable to that. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@mmaier2112 So you think that if an American citizens meets, falls in love with and marries a foreign national, they shouldn't be allowed to obtain immigration rights for their spouse so they can live together in their country? You would force them to separate or live elsewhere? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@JoeJoe67808280 So do you oppose allowing straight couples biologically incapable of reproducing from marrying, or straight couples who are too old to reproduce to marry? What about gay couples who have adopted children together -should they be allowed to marry? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@shartnado42069 @Imlay901 I never asked what his views were then since he wasn't a member of Congress, but my guess is he had the same view as Hillary Clinton, who gave an impassioned speech on the Senate floor in 2004 against gay marriage, and Obama, who cited God as to why he opposed marriage equality. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@AliensArentHere I think most people expect that conservative Democrats would vote YES. I was highlighting that even many Democrats regarded as liberal supported this. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@JulieWe63754893 Are you under. the impression that foreign nationals can just decide they're going to legally live and work and study in the US whenever they want? They need a legal basis for doing that. The spouses of foreign nationals get Green Cards, but DOMA barred that for gay couples. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@canuckjc How do I side with Ted Cruz? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@Imlay901 The vote was 85-14. Biden voted for it, as did most Dems. It was signed into law by Bill Clinton. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

LOL. As several pointed out, I missed Biden. He was also a YES vote on DOMA. https://t.co/iluQypc5Bq — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Seeing lots of ignorance in replies. To explain: Americans who marry a foreign national are entitled to a Green Card so they can live together in the US. DOMA barred that for same-sex couples, forcing them to separate, live abroad, or live together illegally in one's country. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@MattHawryliw Because Americans who marry someone of the opposite sex are entitled to a Green Card for their foreign spouse. DOMA prevented my husband from getting a Green Card, leaving us with no way to live together in the US, forcing us either to separate, live abroad, or live illegally. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Even worse was the provision permitting states that barred same-sex marriages from ignoring -- treating as nullities -- the legal marriages of same-sex couples from other states. Yet polling just a few years later showed broad support among Dems and GOP for full equal rights. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

The bill's purpose was to prohibit the issuance of any federal spousal rights to same-sex couples (including tax and pension benefits, social security, and immigration rights). The latter separated thousands of Americans from their foreign spouses. Look at some of the YES votes: https://t.co/iY5K4On8v8 — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

The Defense of Marriage Act, declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court in 2013, was a pernicious law. It's what barred me from living with my husband in the US for a full decade. People forget how bipartisan it was: signed into law by Clinton, it passed the Senate by 85-14. https://t.co/bO0cqXzokl — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@hairhofla That's extremely demented, and shows how little value liberals like you assign to the lives of foreigners. But since you regard only American lives as valuable, how about the tens of thousands who died in the wars Frum and Kristol lied the country into? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@hairhofla Who do you think has caused more harm in this world? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@bescofield @daviddurbin I generally think it's a good idea for people to wait for an interview to occur before forming opinions about how the interview was conducted. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Democrats keep promoting the candidacy of people they claim to believe are actual Nazis bent on overthrowing American democracy and replacing it with white nationalistic dictatorship and, with that conduct, are close to putting such people in power. https://t.co/WDAJT9sMrY https://t.co/Zy115HMNIs — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@bescofield @daviddurbin Yes, if there were a smart, honest and thought-provoking documentary about George W. Bush, and I was asked to appear at the debut of that film to interview him, I would be on the next plane to get there before even signing the contract. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@JenniferLSimon1 This is not me apologizing. You don't have to worry about that. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@aha272727 I just find it fascinating that the liberal journalists who count neocons, war criminals and CIA ghouls as their colleagues, and the liberals who consume the media outlets that employ them, believe they can credibly dictate who is and isn't off-limits from being interviewed. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

I'm considering making up for the harm done by interviewing Alex Jones by following it up with interviews of Bill Kristol and David Frum - two of the key propagandists who sold Americans the invasion of Iraq - provided CNN, MSNBC and The Atlantic will give them time off to do it. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@bescofield @daviddurbin I would absolutely jump at the chance to interview George W. Bush, obviously. — PolitiTweet.org
