Trump calls up pastor Darrell Scott, praising him for his combative performances on television. Scott says he learned from Trump, a "master debater," that "if I can't win the debate, I turn it into an argument." — PolitiTweet.org

Trump on winning African-American voters: "We're going to make 2020 a chance...we're going to make it a chance that you take. But it's not a chance. Because you know exactly what's happening." — PolitiTweet.org

Trump: "The Republican Party was the original home of African-Americans, and now African-Americans are returning. It was a 100-year trip, if you think about it." (?) — PolitiTweet.org

Carson is listing things Trump has done to offer opportunities to black people, saying they're not the acts of a "racist." Touting the low black unemployment rate, Carson says, "If he's a racist, he's an awfully bad one. He needs to get a lesson from the real racists." — PolitiTweet.org

Ben Carson says that today, people tell black conservatives that they're bad people. He says this is like "the days of slavery," when "they told the ones in the house you're better than the ones in the yard and the ones in the yard, 'you're better than the ones in the field.'" — PolitiTweet.org

Pence talks about his visit to Selma and hearing about the bravery of the marchers. "When that march was over, the brutality of that moment and the courage of those people would inspire the passage of the Voting Rights Act and help transform this nation to a more perfect union." — PolitiTweet.org

After recounting some of the history of Republicans and African-Americans -- ending his list with Eisenhower sending troops to protect the Little Rock Nine in 1957 -- Pence says he's proud that Trump has "renewed our party's proud commitment to equality of opportunity for all." — PolitiTweet.org

Pence is recounting some political history: "The first three African-Americans elected to the United States Senate were Republicans! The first 21 African-Americans elected to the House of Representatives were: Republicans!" — PolitiTweet.org

RT @normative: I love how Trump conceives of treason as a kind of personal tort he can “sue” someone for. Wait, not love, the other thing.… — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

Trump: "The whistleblower and his lawyer -- who said the worst things possible two years ago -- he should be sued, and maybe for treason, maybe for treason. But he should be sued." It wasn't clear which one he meant is the treason-committer; my guess is the lawyer, but not sure. — PolitiTweet.org

Trump was asked about going to the May Day parade and said, “That’s right, I was invited,” but it looks like he was invited to a different Russia event. (So his comments were reported correctly, but he seems to have been led astray by the faulty question.) https://t.co/p2qlwLrLmR — PolitiTweet.org

“We have the highest poll numbers,” Trump baselessly claims. Of his opponents, he says that, despite all their dishonesty, he is “kicking their ass.” — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

Trump repeats his usual nonsense about his poll numbers are “through the roof” because of anti-impeachment anger. https://t.co/2Xk2IbzooQ — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

Trump baselessly accuses media outlets of making up imaginary sources in their stories on him. He bashes the Washington Post for its story about him asking Barr to hold a press conference re his Ukraine dealings. — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

Trump says he is “thinking about” going to Russia for the May Day parade. He says Putin invited him. He explains, “It’s a very big deal, celebrating the end of the war etc. etc.” That is...not what May Day is about. — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

Trump says of his ambassador to the EU, Gordon Sondland: “I hardly know the gentleman.” When he thought Sondland’s testimony would be good for him, he called him a “really good man and great American.” — PolitiTweet.org

Trump repeats his usual false claims about how the (highly accurate) whistleblower was very wrong. He cites right-wing radio host Mark Levin’s comments as evidence for this. — PolitiTweet.org

“My charity was great,” Trump says. He says that one of the reasons people are leaving New York is that his charity was investigated while Hillary Clinton’s wasn’t; he says this shows New York is “a corrupt state.” — PolitiTweet.org
