I was criticized for pushing for the $1.8 trillion deal back in October. Now we are talking about compromising at $900 billion. What a loss. We must make a deal, but this is what I feared. It’s time for McConnell to offer something for people, not just $500b for businesses. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

@reclaimthefight Actually have passed 5 progressive bills into law, more than any other in delegation. Article coming within week. Congressperson job is to pass legislation and advocate for executive action. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

What would progressives do with R Senate? We would invoke 1881(a) to give those exposed to Covid free Medicare & 1498 to strip patent protections for high priced drugs. Forgive up to 50k in student loans. Don’t buy the excuse that McConnell prevents action https://t.co/N5DyAz1RHI — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

The thoughtful debate on this topic between @ryangrim and @mehdirhasan about my appearance on Ingraham is worth reading. Now if more of Twitter had this kind of thoughtful exchange, we would be a better democracy. Did the Oxford debating champ hold his own? You decide! — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

@ndrew_lawrence @ggreenwald I know it’s fashionable to string together big fancy words. But are you saying that an Indian Hindu son of immigrants whose grandfather spent four years in jail under colonialism is “giving the veil of legitimacy to white supremacist propaganda” by discussing defense cuts on Fox? — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

@reclaimthefight Calling for more funding for global poverty and fighting disease, engagement with NK, joining Iran Deal, joining Paris Accord are all about increasing diplomacy. There is a reason Pelosi had me with her to the Munich security conference, hardly an isolationist event — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

@reclaimthefight No I am saying Carter is right about no major wars and China not having to waste resources and you don’t like his support of Bernie and are purposefully misrepresenting his essential point which I have quoted many times — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

@reclaimthefight Perhaps read a bit more of his philosophy, his reason for talking about the 1979 star, his commitment to peace and restraint before attacking his integrity for introducing that into the public debate. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

@reclaimthefight I have pushed for greater diplomacy, greater funding for global poverty, joining Paris Accord and Iran nuclear deal. That’s not isolationism. The coalitions I built after meeting President Carter snd with his help led to the Yemen War Powers resolution passing & NK resolution. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

@reclaimthefight It’s a shame you are attacking the integrity of Jimmy Carter who makes this point all the time. I know you don’t like progressives, but attacking Carter is too much. https://t.co/rmuzO8gPdj — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

@reclaimthefight I am saying they have not gotten bogged down in as many wars in Middle East and wasted resources allowing them to become a more dangerous threat. We have wasted resources. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

@reclaimthefight That is not my claim. Look at my record. I have spoken out against. China aggression again and again. https://t.co/nCXzKQxHOD — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

@reclaimthefight Actually, I have two bills in Congress to tackle the human rights abuses of the Uyghurs by China and have spoken on Tibet. Your criticism is of Jimmy Carter. The line about not being war since 1979 is his which I have quoted many times before. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Tech jobs are a key to our future—we can’t concentrate that prosperity in Silicon Valley. I’m proud to have worked with Ron & Jane Olson to start scholarships for rural & Latino tech students in Iowa. We have to extend opportunity to areas that need it. https://t.co/hZqduOYS9o — PolitiTweet.org

Thanks @danielmarans. I’m glad there are journalists like you who still believe in J.S. Mill and are wary of anointing themselves the arbiters of truth and morality and what constitutes acceptable speech. — PolitiTweet.org

Thank you @DanRiffle for your voice of reason. Fortunately, the feedback we have received to the office has been about 80 percent positive. You get it because you don’t live in a Beltway bubble. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

@atrupar But we have a philosophical difference. I look at heroes - Gandhi, King, Lincoln, Mandela and see who they engaged with and how they built coalitions. I look at thinkers like Habermas and Rawls and still believe in the possibility of overlapping consensus. That is my conviction. — PolitiTweet.org
