"It's exhausting being black," says Barkley, adding especially for famous black people asked to comment on all of this. "I love Tom Brady, but nobody asks him what is going on in white America... they don't live with the pressure that these young black guys" live with. — PolitiTweet.org

"I have never seen anything like this," Charles Barkley tells @wolfblitzer about the three NBA postponements tonight. Barkley adds that he wants "to know what their next game plan is" re: playing more games and that it puts "tremendous pressure" on teams slated to play tomorrow. — PolitiTweet.org

You cannot overstate the power of this statement - and the repercussions it could have on more than just the world of sports. A night of NBA players boycotting on the same night as the Republican National Convention. What a contrast. — PolitiTweet.org

Nikki Haley and Tim Scott's speeches sound and feel like they could have been given at a Republican convention before Trump - both heavy on bio, subtly sold themselves as future candidates, while also touting the nominee/platform. — PolitiTweet.org

This message from Parnell is an echo of Trump in '16: "The party of Harry Truman became the party of hedge fund managers, Hollywood celebrities, tech moguls & academia, bloated with contempt for middle America." Big difference: It's more difficult to paint Biden with this brush. — PolitiTweet.org

Vernon Jones, a Dem state rep from Georgia, speaking at the RNC: "The Democratic Party does not want Black people to leave the mental Plantation they've had us on for decades." Jones has been on the outs with the party for a while/voted for Bush in 2004: https://t.co/Fipc53gwMP — PolitiTweet.org

Cohen, aware that most Democrats find him contemptible and untrustworthy, ends the video with an ask to those skeptics: "You don't have to like me. But please, listen to me." Our story on the @American_Bridge campaign: https://t.co/m61SMVaK5V — PolitiTweet.org

Dan Merica @merica

Cohen's comments get to the heart of Trump's reelection argument. Trump's promises of law & order are "laughable," he says. "Virtually everyone who worked for his campaign has been convicted of a crime or is under indictment," he says. "Myself included." https://t.co/m61SMVaK5V — PolitiTweet.org

New: Donald Trump's former lawyer Michael Cohen will appear in a series of ads for @American_Bridge in the coming days, telling voters that Trump "can't be trusted" and that they "shouldn't believe a word he utters" during the #GOPConvention. Story here: https://t.co/XPqA546Q3k — PolitiTweet.org
