Publishing several thousand words of facts, data, historical context, and fully attributed quotes from party officials = propaganda Railing on the radio every day about deep state conspiracies = truth telling — PolitiTweet.org

Folks.... when KARL ROVE says something like this, you’d better believe Republicans pay attention. https://t.co/wndq8pdJOG https://t.co/tVeqCF4qmK — PolitiTweet.org

This exchange with Ted Cruz was telling. He clearly was about to say something about the broader injustices visited upon the black community...but he stopped himself. https://t.co/wndq8pdJOG https://t.co/2IXOByuNgb — PolitiTweet.org

Tucker Carlson going nuclear on Nikki Haley — accusing her of “moral blackmail” for an empathetic tweet about George Floyd — was the talk of the 2024 universe last week. Chilling effect on any Republican who wants to talk candidly about race/BLM/police https://t.co/wndq8pdJOG https://t.co/CIbuKhqI1g — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Alberta @TimAlberta

Not true (Romney won 6% per exits) and they took basically an identical share of nonwhites overall, so what is she trying to prove here? — PolitiTweet.org

YES, police are more likely to use excessive force against African Americans: ***post-Eric Garner (2014): 33% of Americans, 26% of whites ***post-George Floyd (2020): 57% of Americans, 49% of whites This is the ground shifting beneath us in real time. https://t.co/wndq8pdJOG — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Alberta @TimAlberta

I'd invite you to read and re-read this paragraph 3 or 4 times. The change between Eric Garner and George Floyd is absolutely stunning. https://t.co/3IpntB3hjH — PolitiTweet.org

"No, I do not think you can paint with a broad brush and say there's systemic racism in the criminal justice system in America." -- Tom Cotton https://t.co/uAOWyOIz5X — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Alberta @TimAlberta

Biden won't touch this slogan with a 10-foot pole. His running mate won't either. It's not going to become part of the Dem "platform" as @hughhewitt suggested this am. The bigger takeaway is that, rather than running out the clock on a big lead, the left is now airing it out. — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Alberta @TimAlberta

@saletan @daveweigel Yup. — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Alberta @TimAlberta

@cjane87 @daveweigel Big difference between border politics and police politics -- every voter has cops in their community. — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Alberta @TimAlberta

@daveweigel Totally. But then again, "ABOLISH ICE" wasn't painted on the street 2 blocks from the White House. We'll see how leading Ds handle it. Could definitely fizzle out... but valuable ammo for Trump either way. — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Alberta @TimAlberta

I realize there's policy nuance that falls under this catchphrase. I also realize 8 out of 10 voters will never get past the catchphrase itself. Politically, this is an incredible gift to Trump. — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Alberta @TimAlberta

Just when Democrats have Trump on the ropes.... they toss him a lifeline with "defund the police." — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Alberta @TimAlberta

Maybe you missed it last week, but George W. Bush used the phrase "systemic racism" -- and by doing so, foreshadowed the next great culture war inside the GOP. Interviews w/ Tom Cotton, Will Hurd, Ben Sasse, Tim Scott and more. https://t.co/wndq8pdJOG — PolitiTweet.org

@jonathanchait My dude, I’m beginning to think you paid very little attention to the 2012 campaign. — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Alberta @TimAlberta

This is total nonsense, and the Obama 12 folks admit as much in off record settings. The Obama campign spox called Romney a felon. The Senate majority leader said Romney had evaded taxes for a decade. The vice president said Romney was going to put black people “back in chains.” — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Alberta @TimAlberta

@jonathanchait Really? You actually believe this? — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Alberta @TimAlberta

No. This is exactly backwards. It was the left’s (and the media’s) treatment of Romney that numbed the electorate to real, valid concerns about “character” four years later. — PolitiTweet.org
