Btw, I just wrote (literally yesterday) about how the Trump administration was “cartoonishly misogynistic,” so spare me your disingenuous whataboutism. https://t.co/u4iafxA0u5 — PolitiTweet.org

Imagine if a male Trump staffer threatened a female reporter, leveled obscene sexualized insults against her, and then, after the WH failed to sweep it under the rug, he received a *one week* suspension. The outrage would be universal and unrelenting. Justifiably so. — PolitiTweet.org

I said this the other day: We can’t expect the American public to treat this as a real trial if senators don’t treat this as a real trial. It’s baffling that witnesses—WH aides, lawmakers, rally organizers—haven’t been subpoenaed and lined up around the building to testify. — PolitiTweet.org

Not sure Nikki Haley cares about Amy Kremer (who?) but definitely keeping an eye on Fox News primetime these next few nights. — PolitiTweet.org

This is the GOP mentality in a nutshell: Trump has gone mad, he's unable to tell truth from untruth, he's knowingly incited violence against top government leaders and shown no remorse for it.... but c'mon, what would be the point of barring him from holding office again?!? — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Alberta @TimAlberta

This would seem to raise basic questions about the president's fitness for office. (Because, you know, grass is green.) When I asked Haley a few weeks later about impeachment and/or the 25th amendment, she rolled her eyes. https://t.co/H9TtXbgx4K https://t.co/LaYzjeVBZh — PolitiTweet.org

@jbreezy1512 Respectfully, you should read the piece more carefully. I make exactly the argument you're claiming I don't make: That while she *does* know what's right, she may not have the political courage to act on it. — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Alberta @TimAlberta

When I pressed Nikki Haley -- asking if Trump was acting responsibly by claiming the election had been stolen -- this is how she responded. https://t.co/H9TtXbgx4K https://t.co/oxeHpmcY0B — PolitiTweet.org

OK deleted that tweet, even though it's exactly how I feel, because this is a sensitive climate re: political violence This generation has an epidemic of men who demean women for sport. If Biden keeps this clown employed it's a disgrace to his administration. — PolitiTweet.org

Yup. Here's an exchange from the cutting-room floor, after her 10th plea of "He believes it." ME: "But why do we need to coddle what's in his mind?" HALEY: “We're not coddling it. You just have to understand you're not going to change it. You're not going to change his mind." — PolitiTweet.org
