Good @rizzoTK fact-check dive into Trump's claims about prescription drug prices declining and Kirsten Gillibrand's claim that they aren't declining. In short, both of them have data to support their case. https://t.co/MpTINVpPFN — PolitiTweet.org

Trump does this a lot: his "quotes" are often more like paraphrases. In this case, he accurately captured McCarthy's sentiments but not his precise words, which is usually what people use quotation marks for. https://t.co/ernjd047w5 — PolitiTweet.org

McCarthy says that the Democrats at yesterday’s press conference “talked more about impeachment than anything else.” They did advocate impeachment, but that wasn’t the bulk of their remarks. McCarthy then urges people not to be false about what’s really going on here. — PolitiTweet.org

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy says they don’t do a condemnation resolution for every offensive comment Democrats make. He says, “We are the party of Lincoln. This party believes in the content of the individual.” He suggests Democrats are the real bigots. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Liz Cheney opens the House GOP press conf by attacking the policies of the Democrats Trump is targeting: “I want to make absolutely clear that our opposition to our socialist colleagues has absolutely nothing to do with their gender, with their religion or with their race.” — PolitiTweet.org

This is at least the second time Trump has pretended that numbers among white voters are the only numbers. He’s also done it with 2016 election results, repeatedly claiming that he got “52%” though that was only his number with white women. — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

Those are not Omar’s or Ocasio-Cortez’s poll numbers in their districts or in the country. Trump was referring to a poll of...white likely voters with 2 years or less of college. Axios published it without saying who did it or provided it, and without full details. https://t.co/ZbRkTVAnkQ — PolitiTweet.org

Omar says "every single person who's brown and black" and "every single Muslim" has heard Trump's words from others before. She says she won't "dignify" his accusations with a detailed response, since every bigot "rejoices" when she is forced to answer to them. — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

Pressley says she doesn't want to spend too much time talking about Trump's words: "What we are focused on are the hateful policies that are draconian and oppressive and life-threatening and family-separating that is being rolled out by this administration every day." — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

Ocasio-Cortez says it's love of country that is behind their policy views. She ends: "We'll stay focused on our agenda, and we won't get caught slippin'. Because all of this is a distraction. It's a distraction from what's most important and our core values as American citizens." — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

Omar concluded by calling for impeachment. — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

Omar is presenting Trump as the un-American one. She says he's using this "blatantly racist" attack, and adopting the "agenda of white nationalists," to distract from his corruption and personal and policy failings. — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

Omar says Trump is violating his oath to the Constitution "and the core values we aspire to." She says, "As Martin Luther King said: all we say to America is, be true to what you say on paper." — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

Conservatives have criticized Omar for making light of someone's visceral reaction to al Qaeda and for (possibly) implying equivalence between al Qaeda and the United States. The president turned that into...Omar calling al Qaeda "wonderful" and "great," which never happened. — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

Omar argued that the media uses Arabic names out of a desire for sensationalism, to raise fears. She then laughed about how her professor in a college class on terrorism tensed when saying "al Qaeda" while not showing similar body language when saying "England" or "America." 2/3 — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

The context in short: Omar said people find it easier to condemn the atrocities of non-state actors like al Qaeda or al-Shabaab than they do the crimes of their own governments. The PBS host mused about why Americans use these Arabic names rather than the less-scary English. 1/3 — PolitiTweet.org

Trump falsely accused Ilhan Omar today of praising al Qaeda. She never did. He was referring to a 2013 clip circulating in conservative media. Even that clip doesn't include any praise. Full context in my fact check with @sarahcwestwood: https://t.co/SZOsVWf2hS — PolitiTweet.org
