The person speaking with urgency and condemning the violence of January 6, 2021, as it was happening--@SpeakerMcCarthy--is now allowing a bad-faith actor to try to rewrite what actually happened that day. https://t.co/tnHja9YED5 — PolitiTweet.org

"Bolton pointed to another part of Mr. Trump’s speech: 'This is it. Either they win or we win. And if they win, we no longer have a country...' 'I think that’s also a signal that he’s not going to accept a second defeat,' Bolton said." https://t.co/E3VY5jZp5Y — PolitiTweet.org

"Trump’s comments were in his prepared remarks...His aides seemed pleased...The remarks were quickly pinned atop his campaign’s Twitter page, and 'I am your retribution,' in all capital letters, was turned into the subject line of a fund-raising email." https://t.co/E3VY5jZp5Y — PolitiTweet.org

"When the Republican base is given a choice between the conservatism of the last 50 years and [illiberalism]—they want the illiberalism. It’s not even close. Even if DeSantis is an opportunist, the opportunistic path might well be the illiberal path." https://t.co/FdgsthMGUm — PolitiTweet.org

"Victory City is a meditation on the broader spiritual and philosophical struggles between fanaticism and freedom, intolerance and liberality that take place in every human society—and how the stories societies tell help define who and what they are." https://t.co/7wTDUAtAws — PolitiTweet.org

"I am your retribution." -- Donald Trump, March 4, 2023 "Eines Tages kommt die Stunde der Vergeltung!" ("One day the hour of retribution will come.") -- Joseph Goebbels, June 5, 1943 — PolitiTweet.org

Trump is all in for the insurrection. His Republican competitors won't denounce the insurrection. The Republican Party is half insurrectionist and half anti-anti-insurrectionist. I am alarmed. https://t.co/sPUWRdILqt — PolitiTweet.org

Bill Kristol @BillKristol

Two sentences from CPAC that say it all: "I am your retribution." -- Donald Trump "Transgenderism must be eradicated from public life entirely." -- Michael Knowles Retribution. Eradication. That's today's "conservatism." How many Republicans have repudiated either statement? — PolitiTweet.org

Bill Kristol @BillKristol

"Knowles knows the nomenclature and signals of the movement that seems to have blended into CPAC/MAGAism. So he knew he was using the sort of eliminationist rhetoric that fires up the fever swamps. He knew his audience and the words they wanted to hear." https://t.co/Y2CLQngKRa — PolitiTweet.org

Bill Kristol @BillKristol

"Hello darkness, my old friend. If you want a preview of what’s coming our way, take a look at the vocabulary of CPAC, including the former president’s promise of retribution, obliteration, and war. Attention, perhaps, should be paid." -- @SykesCharlie https://t.co/Y2CLQngKRa — PolitiTweet.org

Bill Kristol @BillKristol

"The lies, disinformation, misinformation, attacks on our democracy, cultish calls for an authoritarian, and utter cruelty—it was all there. This radicalism is not a bug; it is a core feature of today’s GOP." — PolitiTweet.org

Bill Kristol @BillKristol

🚨🚨🚨 @WalshFreedom sounds the alarm. Laugh at CPAC if you wish. There's plenty to ridicule! But CPAC reflects the base of the Republican Party, a party that controls the House and may win the Senate and the presidency. So take the threat seriously. https://t.co/D7thneTE79 — PolitiTweet.org

From @Timodc at CPAC: "3:35 pm: Rick Scott comes on stage to dead silence. To say you could hear a pin drop would understate the case. On the big screen he looks like an amphibious, human/alien hybrid whose endoskeleton and exoskeleton are inverted." https://t.co/5jAPxZaoYP — PolitiTweet.org

Bill Kristol @BillKristol

The two wings of the GOP: The Horst Wessel Republicans, led by @realDonaldTrump, @RepMTG, and @TuckerCarlson, who celebrate the patriotic insurgency of Jan. 6th and praise the jailed martyrs. The Walter Duranty Republicans, who pretend nothing happened. https://t.co/Ds5zhPaGxV — PolitiTweet.org

Excellent from A.B. Stoddard on the Republican presidential candidates' silence on Jan. 6th. Except for Trump: He's for it. https://t.co/Ds5zhPaGxV — PolitiTweet.org

Aaron Friedberg: "Xi Jinping is clearly now the maximum leader. Any notion that there was anything resembling a collective leadership among equals is gone. I think it’s been gone, really, since he came in." Watch or listen to the whole thing: https://t.co/41PG64Kzsl https://t.co/XDAmicdssL — PolitiTweet.org

Gripping, in its way. ⁦@Timodc⁩ does CPAC. https://t.co/8CgxyaDQAZ — PolitiTweet.org

“Or is the reality simply that the entire Republican party is CPAC now, so there’s no real need for it anymore? Especially when there’s a younger, more dynamic offering for culture warriors looking for fellowship in Turning Point USA?” https://t.co/8CgxyaDQAZ — PolitiTweet.org

Bill Kristol @BillKristol

The Republican Party is in part a pro-insurrectionist party, and in part “merely” an anti-anti-insurrectionist party. What it isn’t is a pro-democracy, pro-rule-of-law party. — PolitiTweet.org

Bill Kristol @BillKristol

“The calculation was that this is clearly indefensible, he’s not going to have a place in the party going forward…That clearly hasn’t happened…January 6th is advantageous for Trump in a Republican primary now. Nobody’s going to hit him on January 6th.” https://t.co/TFSOOA5eSE — PolitiTweet.org
