Mike Pence, attacking Biden as “a career politician,” has held elected office for 20 straight years and seeks four more. — PolitiTweet.org

What polling is Pence looking at re schools? — PolitiTweet.org

Melania Trump and Mike Pence have both equated Trump's lack of a filter in their speeches for trustworthiness and honesty. But they're totally different. Trump doesn't have a filter, but he's made more than 20,000 demonstrably false statements as president. — PolitiTweet.org

Pence jokes that his own mom is a bigger fan of Trump than she is of him. She laughs. — PolitiTweet.org

Another norm shattered: Ric Grenell is invoking his role as acting director of national intelligence while speaking at the Republican political convention and referring to classified information he claims he reviewed. — PolitiTweet.org

Is this Trump "charming" Angela Merkel? https://t.co/tYaFZakat5 — PolitiTweet.org

Fact check: Trump did NOT "charm" the chancellor of Germany, as Ric Grenell just claimed. — PolitiTweet.org

Watching speaker after speaker tonight try to explain American history and touting the GOP's role in ending slavery in the 1860s -- as if that has anything to do with their agenda in 2020 -- is like following Dinesh D'Souza's Twitter account. — PolitiTweet.org

Lara and Eric Trump both quoted Reagan in their Republican convention speeches. Context is key. The quote Eric used was Reagan warning in the early 1960s that America would no longer be free if Democrats created Medicare. But he left that last part out. Now Medicare is popular. — PolitiTweet.org

Kristi Noem compared Trump to Lincoln: “He was alarmed by the increasing disregard for the rule of law throughout the country. He was concerned for the people that had seen their property destroyed, their families attacked & their lives threatened ... Sound familiar?” — PolitiTweet.org

Brenton Tarrant, the white supremacist who live-streamed his massacre of 51 people at two New Zealand mosques last year, was sentenced to life in prison without parole Thursday for carrying out the worst atrocity in the country's modern history. https://t.co/hCh0o7cVHe — PolitiTweet.org

Lara Trump: "My 7th grade English teacher, Mrs. B, used to tell us 'believe none of what you hear, half of what you read and only what you’re there to witness firsthand.'" George Orwell in "1984": “The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears." — PolitiTweet.org

It really is offensive for Joni Ernst to accuse the national media of not caring about Iowans hurting from the derecho. She knows better. I grew up just to the north in Minnesota. We've written dozens of stories about the derecho, including this one: https://t.co/NsRil6MOLz. — PolitiTweet.org

As Joni Ernst accuses Obama of being anti-farmer, a reminder that he carried Iowa twice. — PolitiTweet.org

James Hohmann @jameshohmann

It's totally unfair for Joni Ernst to criticize the national media for ignoring Iowa, of all states. Iowa receives more national media coverage per capita than any other state in America. — PolitiTweet.org

We've heard from football players and a coach during the Republican convention. But not baseball or basketball. They could have had Curt Schilling speak, but he's on the advisory board for “We Build the Wall." — PolitiTweet.org

As Kristi Noem quotes James Madison, this was my lede this morning: This GOP convention was not what James Madison had in mind when he helped draft Article II, Section 2 of the Constitution. https://t.co/CNdZ82npRg — PolitiTweet.org
