Another takeaway was just how many Republicans were nearly anonymous, rank-and-file guys. A lot of these members aren’t guys you see on Fox News screaming about, like, Eric Swalwell. (Although Eric Swalwell was a very common Twitter topic for a lot of these Republicans!) — PolitiTweet.org
Matt Fuller @MEPFuller
But to get back to the point a bit more, GOP leaders haven’t really spoken or tweeted about the petition. Again, they’d just you rather forget about this. — PolitiTweet.org
Matt Fuller @MEPFuller
Also pretty clear how many Republicans take messaging advice from the GOP conference. I can’t tell you how many times I saw this Happy Hannukkah image. https://t.co/mQuC401QQR — PolitiTweet.org
Matt Fuller @MEPFuller
Another takeaway was just how seldom some members of Congress tweet. The most egregious case was current Rep. and Montana Governor-elect Greg Gianforte. He actually hasn’t tweeted in more than a year! — PolitiTweet.org

I saw one Republican who signed the amicus brief who seemed to think the rejection of the lawsuit was the final moment of Trump’s effort to overturn the election: Bruce Westerman. https://t.co/baxBFaJ7fc — PolitiTweet.org
Matt Fuller @MEPFuller
I saw two Republicans at the moment who were trying to spin the lawsuit into something that it’s not, defending their actions as, like, ‘letting the legal process play out.’ https://t.co/6oFHa2FXQ7 — PolitiTweet.org
Matt Fuller @MEPFuller
Only a few Republicans have tweeted about the petition since the Supreme Court rejected it. Of the few, they are generally the most pro-Trump members in Congress: https://t.co/mSjDKMbeP6 — PolitiTweet.org

My best guess is that the majority of these Republicans would love to memory-hole the fact that they signed on to an effort to toss out the election results and disenfranchise millions of voters. It’s simply another act of service for Trump to them. — PolitiTweet.org
Matt Fuller @MEPFuller
The first takeaway is that the vast majority of these members — probably close to 100 — seem to have said nothing at all about the petition. They didn’t note that they signed on, and they haven’t noted that the Supreme Court quickly rejected the case. — PolitiTweet.org

I just went through the Twitters of all 126 House Republicans who signed on to that Texas lawsuit petition. A few thoughts: [Thread] — PolitiTweet.org

@NeerajKA Little known fact: I’m a huge fan of the show “Moonshiners,” and one of the Moonshiners volunteered on Mark Meadows’s first congressional campaign. — PolitiTweet.org

@NeerajKA I honestly may try to make some undrinkable, Concord grapes ass wine. — PolitiTweet.org

@Bencjacobs @daveweigel No better than 20¢ a share for yes. — PolitiTweet.org

@Bencjacobs @daveweigel I wouldn’t count on it. — PolitiTweet.org
Matt Fuller @MEPFuller
@Bencjacobs @daveweigel Yeah, this was it. After reading this again years later, his complaints seem even more bizarre. Weigel never said he was drunk, and actually calls him affable and very different from his Donny Ferguson Twitter persona, which was my take too. — PolitiTweet.org
Matt Fuller @MEPFuller
@Bencjacobs @daveweigel His big complaint was that people said he was drunk but he said he doesn’t drink because he’s a diabetic. — PolitiTweet.org
Matt Fuller @MEPFuller
@Bencjacobs You’ll appreciate that the last conversation I had with Steve Stockman, he was complaining to me about… https://t.co/UiQXkhns0K — PolitiTweet.org
Matt Fuller @MEPFuller
@Bencjacobs “a fifth rate Harold Hill who somehow thought that the Tea Party made a better racket than leading a boys band” and “a marriage of Andy Kaufman and Michele Bachmann” are both very good. — PolitiTweet.org
Matt Fuller @MEPFuller
@Bencjacobs You right, though Steve Stockman was actually capable of having an intelligent conversation, rampantly misusing campaign funds notwithstanding. — PolitiTweet.org
Matt Fuller @MEPFuller
@jimhofmann @Bencjacobs I did intern in 2009 for about four months, but I really started covering Congress in August of 2010, though I did write my senior thesis in college on earmarking and found that, yes, Martha was the biggest earmarker. — PolitiTweet.org
Matt Fuller @MEPFuller
@Bencjacobs Not definitive, but at least three of these would be on this list: Bachmann, Pence, DeMint, Mulvaney, Ron Paul. — PolitiTweet.org
Matt Fuller @MEPFuller
Just as an aside, Allen West is probably the biggest grifter I’ve come across in my decade covering Congress. Used his position to build an email list, unrepentantly loaned it out to Scam PACs, and is now posturing a state that he only moved to in 2015 to secede. — PolitiTweet.org
