FWIW, this is what I wrote about Syrian refugees back in 2015. This reflects my views today: that the West will never live down the shame and moral stain of allowing what happened in Syria. Nor will Putin for aiding and abetting it. https://t.co/ROMVIgPAzW — PolitiTweet.org

Julia Ioffe @juliaioffe

This is the full segment. As you can see, I'm describing *NATO's* logic, not my own. From the very beginning of this war, I have been calling out the racist, Islamophobic double standards in the coverage and will continue to do so. cc: @Ilhan https://t.co/pClJwicZHL — PolitiTweet.org

@Incilin Thank you. For some context, here's what I wrote about Syrians. Please note the date. It reflects my thinking today: that the West will never live down the moral shame of what it allowed to happen in Syria. https://t.co/ROMVIh7bru — PolitiTweet.org

Hi Rep. Omar, this is an incomplete clip. As you can see, it picks up mid-segment. What I was saying was that the approach of the American and European governments has been informed by this kind of racist and xenophobic logic. I have asked CNN for the full clip. — PolitiTweet.org

@IlhanMN FWIW, this is what I wrote about Syrian refugees at the time. https://t.co/ROMVIh7bru — PolitiTweet.org

Julia Ioffe @juliaioffe

This is what I was saying. And if you saw the full clip, you would see that. I have been very clear and very public that much of the difference in Europe and America's response has been rooted in racism and xenophobia. — PolitiTweet.org

Julia Ioffe @juliaioffe

This clip does not show what I said right before this, which is that, to Americans and Europeans, there is a big a difference between Syrian Muslims and white Ukrainians. There has been a lot of racism and xenophobia in the difference in response. I've said that many times. — PolitiTweet.org

Julia Ioffe @juliaioffe

This clip misses what I said right before this: to most Americans and Europeans, Syria is far away and easier to ignore. As we've seen, there's been a very different response to Ukraine because Ukrainians are mostly white and Christian. Would love for you to post the full clip. — PolitiTweet.org

Lol now they’re onto their morning show, which begins with the most important thing that all Russian women care about, especially those who are watching this show: how not to catch a cold during the deceptive warming of winter. 😂 — PolitiTweet.org

Julia Ioffe @juliaioffe

Can anyone tell me why the Channel One broadcast was just interrupted for the singing of the Russian national anthem over shots of the Kremlin? I’ve never seen this. Has Russia gone full North Korea? — PolitiTweet.org

@ebruenig You made the lies on Russian state media that are feeding an actual war with actual bombs into a tweet about American culture wars, about American left-wing media. — PolitiTweet.org

@ebruenig For real, not everything is about your pet issue. This war in which children are being killed is not about your pet issue. — PolitiTweet.org
