Also: 1) MTG's prediction that Gaetz would go along with the GOP proved correct (though many reluctant GOP YES votes were secured only by rules changes that make it harder to strip members of Committees in the future). 2) This was the first tweet that caused the problems.🤷‍♂️ https://t.co/hmDRJ9XuXy — PolitiTweet.org

@wingdestroyer2 @koumiss @RepMTG I'm not a 8-year-old nor am I a Dem-following internet leftist so I engage in discussions without running around calling everyone a racist, Nazi and fascist. — PolitiTweet.org

@LucyStag @WorldsMostHumb1 @RepMTG You're not fooling anyone with that shtick: https://t.co/LVUEKRkMcp — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@Samthomas0015 A lot of people believe MTG's comments were anti-Semitic and that Paul Goser's comments were racist. You have to pick a principle -- a standard -- and then apply it to everyone. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@WorldsMostHumb1 @RepMTG You're a Democrat so you think MTG is a Jew-hating Nazi and Omar said nothing wrong. Republicans hold the exact opposite view. That's why the precedent created by Pelosi and Dems -- removing people from Committees over their opinions -- is dumb and dangerous. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@koumiss @RepMTG The way the US works is someone has to first be charged with a crime and then convicted of it before they can be punished for it: not convict them through internet mobs. That was the same argument I made when arguing Gaetz can't be punished for "sex trafficking" absent a trial. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@mzpincali That's precisely the argument Dems used about MTG and Paul Gosar to remove them from Committees. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

It's not only the right but the duty of a member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee to question and, if they want, dissent from the large aid the US gives each year to Israel. But once House Dems decided bad opinions were grounds for removal, this became inevitable. https://t.co/pjaYoriXwc — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

I had a lengthy exchange with @RepMTG in last night's interview about removing Omar from Foreign Affairs.👇 It was Dems who created this stupid precedent when stripping MTG of her Committees. Many House Republicans only voted YES because rules for future removals were tightened: — PolitiTweet.org

What other corporate media outlet would allow these views to be aired? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Thanks to @SocialistMMA for noting that Bloomberg attack on Lula over Ukraine. He and the network of which he's a part are polarizing to some -- who worthwhile isn't? -- but he's an invariably smart and informed leftist and worth following: https://t.co/HWCBcsjE2W — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Love or hate Lula, he is absolutely right here. Brazilians who voted for him did so because they want him to improve their lives, not use the nation's resources to fuel a NATO proxy war against Russia. Lula's views on the war in Ukraine are long clear: https://t.co/ZlXvKbLfAT — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

The Western press predictably begins attacking Lula for the crime of saying: We have tens of millions of people facing extreme poverty and many others near starvation, and that - rather than the war in Ukraine - is where our resources and focus will go. https://t.co/6P2rii22o1 https://t.co/JjHZVBNwz1 — PolitiTweet.org

On two separate occasions in the UK, prominent opponents of NATO -- @ClareDalyMEP, @wallacemick, @DerbyChrisW, @georgegalloway and others -- have booked venues in London for a "No to NATO" rally. Both venues cancelled, citing threats and pressure: https://t.co/NbDDUiKNNU — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

We've heard very little from Ron DeSantis on foreign policy over the last several years, which makes sense given he was Governor of Florida. His House voting record was similar to Pompeo and Liz Cheney's so it'll be interesting to see what he has to say on all this if he runs. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

(Carlson notes himself that it all applies equally to Pompeo). This does not, by the way, exculpate Trump at all. It's his character flaw and he and those around him still allow it to be exploited. Nikki Haley and John Bolton did the same thing. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Everything Carlson says here about Lindsey Graham applies equally to Mike Pompeo. Pompeo is a pure neocon who, like Graham, easily exploited one of Trump's most obvious character flaws - flatter him and he'll trust you - to wield power to undercut Trump's professed beliefs: — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@HammerDaily Yes, Dems dislike him. He still worked at the NYT for 30 years, still won a Pulitzer, and just had his 4-part investigation on media lies about Russiagate vetted, edited and published by @CJR. Just go back and listen to Maddow and Wolf Blitzer and be happy. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@dkupiecki We'll never know if it had a decisive impact. I worked at TI then. They were petrified this story could help Trump and that's why they spread the CIA lie. CIA thought it was dangerous enough to create the lie and got Big Tech to censor the reporting. They all thought it mattered. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@Conservative_SB Obviously, if Hunter Biden committed crimes, he should be prosecuted and, if convicted, punished like any other citizen. That has absolutely nothing to do with the point I made. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@zach_hudson Are you one of those people who still believe that the pre-election conspiracy theory from the CIA, Democrats and media corporations about the Biden laptop -- that it was "Russian disinformation" -- was actually true? I honestly didn't think there were any such people left. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

We highlighted the key @CJR revelations on @SystemUpdate_ on Monday, explained in advance why the "news outlets" found guilty in this exposé would ignore it, and what this says about the nation's largest media corporations: they're irremediably rotted: https://t.co/dY6gCLOoha — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Remember when a Pulitzer-Prize-winning investigative journalist who worked his whole life at the NYT, Jeff Gerth, published a scathing 4-part indictment of corporate media's serial lying on Russiagate in @CJR and they all ignored it? That was 4 days ago. https://t.co/bNCGg48Xfi — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Most corporate media spread an outright CIA lie to ensure Biden won the 2020 election, and got Big Tech to censor reporting about Biden based on that lie. Biden won, so they all admit the docs were real but *none* have accounted for the lies they spread: https://t.co/BKxDAnnbH4 — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

The WashPost's DNC spokesman masquerading as a fact-checker, @GlennKesslerWP, wrote in the days before the election that Trump was shaming the nation by using the Biden laptop. Now, he admits they're real and uses it to protect Dems: https://t.co/WIN1cqwc6b — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Few things sicken me more: Corporate media before the 2020 election: Ignore all material on the Biden laptop. It's Russian Disinformation. CIA said so. After Biden is safely elected: Of course we know the docs are real! 😂 Let's dig in and have a party with them for clicks! — PolitiTweet.org

@caiotormin @_Chainfire_ @JucaMoreno @SystemUpdate_ @RepMTG The reason I've been engaging with you - beyond my waiting for a nurse's report that I want before I go to sleep - is because I think your criticisms are in good faith and I don't take them personally. I think journalists have an obligation to engage critics. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@caiotormin @_Chainfire_ @JucaMoreno @SystemUpdate_ @RepMTG The reason I've always had a very large, portable audience is my readers always know that I won't feed or flatter their political preferences. In 2010, my readership was 80% left-liberal and I supported Citizens United. They know to expect my honest view, but not 100% agreement. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@caiotormin @_Chainfire_ @JucaMoreno @SystemUpdate_ @RepMTG What's the business model of large media corporations? To be indifferent to whether people watch their shows and buy their papers? If I were motivated by money, I'd have spent the last 5 years calling Trump Orange Hitler and Putin whore. That was the easiest path to enrichment. — PolitiTweet.org
