10/Germany leading a bombing mission, two more would be struck down by assassins bullets. Only one of the brothers would reach old age. All the rest died in service to an idea called America. America’s political parties have produced exceptional leaders and exceptional scoundrels — PolitiTweet.org

9/ there is a hillside where four American brothers are buried as well as a First Lady and two of her children. Three of the four brothers were United States Senators. One would become a President of the United States. One of the brothers would be killed in the air over Nazi — PolitiTweet.org

8/ He was a 43 year old combat veteran racked by physical pain from his war wounds that faced down some of the most dangerous moments in human history. His legacy and calls to national service and purpose should be remembered and honored. Below the home of the traitor Robert Lee — PolitiTweet.org

7/ American democracy. The @ProfilesCourage Award is one of the most distinguished and important in American Civil Society. It honors qualities that are the life blood of free societies and free people. @RepLizCheney is a very worthy recipient. The 35th President was a young man. — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

6/ US Constitution, the American people and the truth. He broke faith with 14 generations of American patriots. He broke faith with the Americans yet to be born. He utterly squandered the extraordinary opportunity and privilege he was afforded to play a small role as a trustee of — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

5/cowards in America and we don’t honor shirkers. We don’t honor liars in America, we celebrate the truth tellers. Scripture speaks to this, “I have fought a good fight, I have finished the course, I have kept the faith” @GOPLeader has broken the faith. He broke faith with the — PolitiTweet.org

4/the test. Guided by the Polaris of her convictions, integrity and fidelity @RepLizCheney did not waver, falter or fail. She stayed true by standing tall. She had a moral red line and showed the whole country where it must be for all of us who love democracy. We don’t glorify — PolitiTweet.org

3/looming and is as predictable as it is inevitable. It is the journey that matters, the struggle. @GOPLeader McCarthy believed it was the destination that mattered. He craved an object, a gavel. He sold out to get it. @RepLizCheney understood it was the journey that would be — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

2/the Constitution of the United States. Kevin McCarthy didn’t understand something earlier today that he is absorbing the hard way tonight. Wyoming is the cowboy state. This is a western. The hero always walks alone in a Western, at least for a while. The shootout is always — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

What a great honor for two people who demonstrate that integrity and freedom are deeply linked. @RepLizCheney has made a lonely stand. The Gentlelady from Wyoming is tough as nails, smart, decent, normal and utterly devoted to the American experiment and the preservation of — PolitiTweet.org

Brandeis said the States are laboratories of democracy. We are watching Florida lead the nation as a laboratory of American fascism and yes, that is exactly what it is. — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

No surprise to see @SenMikeLee continue to evade Utah press over his lying and attempt to destroy the American Republic. He is continuing to hide out from the @sltrib while hoping safe interviews with his house organ @Deseret News can do in Utah what @FoxNews does nationally. — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

3/ lie(s) is premised on three core assumptions, none of which are true. 1. He is smart enough to get away with it. 2. The voters and donors are dumb enough and apathetic enough not to care. 3. There were no tapes. — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

2/ grace? Mercy? Or will he wait? Is there a shortage of ambitious schemers in the House GOP? Are the troops rallying to Kevin? Are his colleagues concerned for him? For his survival? Or are they plotting a new route to the top, for them? Over him? @GOPLeader isn’t Trump. His — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

The most important question for @GOPLeader is will Trump forgive him? Will the Freedom Caucus forgive him? Kevin has been disloyal to all parties and the Constitution of the United States. He did all this to climb that greasy pole to the top in Washington. Will Trump show Kevin — PolitiTweet.org

Twenty years from now when people look at the fallout from 1/6, no one but the historians is going to look at it through the prism of what month the pieces started to fit together and it all made sense to the American people. Watergate played out over YEARS. — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

I gave this piece of advice to Kevin McCarthy in 2015 when his ambitions to be Speaker were evaporating in a spasm of early Freedom Caucus political brutality. “People generally drown not because they can’t swim but because they panic” There is panic all over Washington tonight — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

Kevin McCarthy has reached the end of his political career. He will never be the Speaker of the House. He has been undone by his cynicism, lying and stupidity. He is a checkers player who has been undone by a chess player. — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

Every detail around what happened on 1/6 will be known. Every detail about what happened leading up to it will be known. Every detail of the conspiracy will be known. There are tapes. These tapes will shatter the thousands of lies the American people have been gas lit with. — PolitiTweet.org

8/ particularly well understood or covered. Bravo to @washingtonpost and @TaylorLorenz for doing it so well. Once again @FoxNews and a small number of players are all clustered together at the sight of a spreading cultural metastasis. No surprise at all. — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

7/ why it is an important story, no matter how angry the extremists get. The viciousness of social media harassment and the use of propaganda to attack, dehumanize, stigmatize and neutralize political opposition is a profoundly important feature of our politics that is not — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

6/abomination then as the Florida Legislation is now. It is no mistake and no accident that all of the bullies and smear merchants have found their way to this vile account that Ms. Raichik has created. That says a lot. All of this has played out in the public square. That is — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

5/ presence of a gay teacher in the classroom. The Briggs initiative, Proposition 6, was put to California Voters in November 1978. It would have banned gay and lesbian teachers from the classroom. It was opposed by former Governor Reagan and President Carter. It was an — PolitiTweet.org

4/ internet bully. There are few rocket fuels in the Right Wing movement that can propel as steep and fast an ascendancy as the combination of bullying and self declared faux victimization. Notice the part of @TaylorLorenz story where the extremists object to the — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

3/ people. Of course, the bullying and harassment is aimed at vulnerable people not powerful people. Ms. Raichik has become a powerful person and what she practices is a politics of viciousness and distortion that deserves no veil of anonymity. She is no victim. She is an — PolitiTweet.org
