and legions of others. Second, the concept of public character became so twisted that the behaviors of @EliseStefanik @marcorubio and @LindseyGrahamSC aren’t viewed through a character lens at all. Selling out the country, with purpose and intent for power and self is a betrayal — PolitiTweet.org

On the cancer that has consumed their public character. American Puritanism turned the question of public character into a sexual one over the last 35 years. Two results followed. One, previously unimaginable depths of hypocrisy were achieved by @newtgingrich, Ken Starr — PolitiTweet.org

all an exercise in bad faith. In short, the individuals who are most effective at demonstrating the depravity of the moment are the collaborators themselves. They indict themselves for the cowards, cynics and opportunists they are with their own words. Shouldn’t the story focus — PolitiTweet.org

1/6 villain and @Liz_Cheney, the pristinely conservative Republican Congresswoman from Wyoming is a Pelosi Democrat. Why should anyone pretend that @EliseStefanik is on the level about anything. Even she knows she is lying and she knows exactly why she is doing it. She is doing — PolitiTweet.org

@marcorubio and @EliseStefanik. Each has spoken out against Trump in the past. They were precise in their worry and condemnation of his exquisite awfulness. Each knew exactly who Trump was. The one thing Trump deserves great credit for is his absolute consistency, steadfastness — PolitiTweet.org

I’ve driven 1000 miles this week, in a 56 year old American made car, through Colorado and Utah. The beauty of this land, our country is magnificent. I listened to a lot of great music and thought about a lot of things. I’m not sure this is a fair criticism as I’m working (1) — PolitiTweet.org

Racists, fascists and conspiracy loons can blame it all on Biden. They are happy to burn everything down around them for power, including us. Every normal person in this country should be deeply frightened by this. Deeply. I know I am. We have to fight back against the lies — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

It is depraved. It is cowardly. It is shameful and despicable conduct at an epic level. There is a rot, a deep rot within our politics that can only be fixed by purging people like @marcorubio from public life by rebuking them in an election and then silencing them with shame. — PolitiTweet.org
