Why do people spread wacky and dangerous conspiracy theories? One reason may be that the people who do are wacky and dangerous. But another is that conspiracy theories can be very, very profitable, financially and politically, for their purveyors. https://t.co/CUOxYMbgX2 — PolitiTweet.org

I spoke with Pence COS Marc Short about the events of 1/6 on a new #AxeFiles! Pod here👉https://t.co/22vbQ0W4gQ “The president received awful advice,” he told me. “And, in many cases, some of those people were provided unfettered access.” https://t.co/ddRX6qLrnu — PolitiTweet.org

“Donald Trump came closer than anyone thought he could to toppling a free election a year ago. He is preparing in plain view to do it again.” This is a MUST READ piece! https://t.co/qoRElC3rue — PolitiTweet.org

Sitting up late working with ESPN on in the background, I just caught an infomercial with Mike Huckabee pitching a sleep aid he swears has changed his life. Maybe it’s time to go to bed. — PolitiTweet.org

It apparently irritates some people that I have conversations on my #AxeFiles podcast from time-to-time with people with whom I disagree-or THEY disagree-about politics. I believe that’s actually part of what’s WRONG with our politics right now. — PolitiTweet.org

One byproduct of this prolonged pandemic is the brutal physical and emotional toll it’s taken on health care workers. Many are leaving. Fewer are entering. It’s a crisis now and, unless things change, it will be for years to come. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

On #AxeFiles, Marc Short says he’d hoped his boss, Mike Pence, might avoid leading the COVID task force in ‘19. “It was a treacherous assignment for the VP to take on. When you bring in the White House, it politicizes things, whether you want it to or not.”https://t.co/TZ3CSK5Ywf https://t.co/jC8IuKZGbl — PolitiTweet.org

A great and admirable American has passed. Thank you for your lifetime of service, Senator Dole. RIP https://t.co/j9zNPNHIIN — PolitiTweet.org

Today was a miserable slog on an awful day for the @ChicagoBears against the @AZCardinals, a perfect reflection of the Bears season. Any way to forfeit the next four and get right to the off season? — PolitiTweet.org

A decade ago, the right-wing conspiracy-mongers pitched the lie that the ACA would create “death panels” to ration care. Now, because the same crowd has fueled COVID vaccine resistance, hospitals actually are being forced to create panels to ration care. https://t.co/IZpLfmuzXl — PolitiTweet.org

As Pence’s COS, Marc Short was in the crosshairs. “I was anxious for the campaign to provide specific evidence to suggest they'd found fraud. There’s a lot of theories; a lot of allegations; a lot of conspiracies. I didn't hear evidence.” #AxeFiles Pod👉https://t.co/22vbQ0W4gQ https://t.co/QpZdcOi2Rw — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

On #AxeFiles, Pence COS Marc Short, described the 1/6 scene at the Capitol. The VP, he said, repeatedly refused pleas of the Secret Service to evacuate. “He didn’t want our adversaries across the globe to see a 15-car motorcade fleeing the Capitol.” Pod👉 https://t.co/22vbQ0W4gQ https://t.co/mJGqioVJvo — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Noteworthy that many of the same pols who have vigorously opposed mask and vaccine requirements-who have spread disinformation and cheered vaccine resistance-are the first to blame the @POTUS for failing to completely subdue the virus. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

In the end, wouldn’t it be less costly to ensure that the whole world is vaccinated than to periodically grapple with new variants like Omicron that develop in places where people are not? — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

On new #AxeFiles, Marc Short, COS to former VP @Mike_Pence, blasts Trump’s version of 1/6. “It’s hard to hear, ‘Those people were just expressing their 1st Amendment rights.’ Or are somehow ‘patriots.’ Those people were rioters. That was a mob.” Pod👉 https://t.co/22vbQ0W4gQ https://t.co/bkcBCp5M5U — PolitiTweet.org

What about THIS uniquely AMERICAN epidemic? Kids armed with guns blowing other kids away. It’s sickening, whether it happens at a suburban high school or on the streets of our cities. https://t.co/wDnxNqvkM2 — PolitiTweet.org

On the #AxeFiles, @ChrisChristie says he’d welcome a debate with his erstwhile ally Trump if the two wind up on the same stage, running for POTUS in ‘24 “This much I guarantee you: If he turns out to be there, and I’m there, he’ll KNOW I’m there!” Pod👉 https://t.co/TZ3CSK5Ywf https://t.co/2gDB8EXPZy — PolitiTweet.org

On #AxeFiles, @ChrisChristie says he urged Trump to limit his COVID briefings to high level points then turn it over to the experts. Instead, Christie says, Trump made them a platform for “rambling diatribes,” at a cost to public health. Pod here👉 https://t.co/TZ3CSK5Ywf https://t.co/65UDNlVmde — PolitiTweet.org

Unaddressed and unabated, violent, provocative language from the Gosars, the Boeberts, the Taylor Greenes aimed at other members of Congress can only end in tragedy. And @GOPLeader leader seems unwilling-or unable-to stop it. — PolitiTweet.org

The @POTUS spoke on Omicron because the country expects to hear from the president in moments like this. His challenge is that he doesn’t have a lot new to share. Get vaccinations. Wear masks. — PolitiTweet.org

Only 13 House Republicans voted for the infrastructure bill. On #AxeFiles, @ChrisChristie says he would have joined them. But, Christie said, Dem defections meant Rs had to save the bill, making @GOP reps fearful of attack for “helping @JoeBiden.” Pod👉 https://t.co/TZ3CSK5Ywf https://t.co/RUEmFoEW9H — PolitiTweet.org
