"Garland should approach January 6th with the same vigor that was used with ... the Oklahoma City bombing. It should be no-holds-barred. Begin with the insurrectionists themselves and then try to flip them and see if there are ties to the White House." https://t.co/W0aiGnhzI1 — PolitiTweet.org

@CawthornforNC The American Rescue Plan, which this Republican voted against, actually puts billions toward helping homeless veterans. So this Republican either didn't know what he was voting against or he's lying. Maybe both. — PolitiTweet.org

Arizona Republican Gov. Doug Ducey's claims about drug busts from his special 'border strike force' were lies. The arrests didn't happen anywhere near the border and appeared to actually have been conducted by state troopers, not his special forces. https://t.co/FI9tqwCWoV — PolitiTweet.org

@RonnyJacksonTX This man is lying for retweets. He lies because he can, because he knows he won't be held to account. No one in the GOP will condemn him for such disgusting lies. His supporters will believe his lies, and he doesn't care that he's lying to them. What he's doing is wrong. — PolitiTweet.org
