Unearthed: Mitch McConnell, at a 2015 event: “My party does really good with white people and I’m proud of that.”
Can you support our work: we are nearing our end of month deadline and we need your help. Consider chipping in $5 today to keep our research going so we can continue to expose the GOP through the midterms: secure.actblue.com/donate/pt-rese…
Take note to what Mitch McConnell is saying… He is “proud” that Republicans can solely rely on white voting power to secure majorities in the House and Senate, but advocates that the Republican strategy change to win the Presidency due to decreasing white demographics.
I care for patients everyday as a PA. I have worked tirelessly since the start of this pandemic. I am the hope and dream of my ancestors. I am an American. #MitchPlease 
Thank you all for your support and kind words.💕 I’m truly overwhelmed and humbled! It’s the height of insensitivity and cruelty to ignore black people in this country as Americans. I hope and pray that the sea of photos from this moment will highlight the
depth and breadth of our contributions to this country. No, it shouldn’t take a massive movement like this but sometimes you gotta remind people about basic facts. We ARE Americans and will further exercise the rights of that citizenship at the ballot box.🗳
Mitch McConnell knows better than anyone that if you want white moderate voters to passively support institutionalized racism, you don’t say blatantly racist things while implementing it. Mitch made a huge mistake yesterday, and we’ll use it against GOP in midterms. #MitchPlease
When the bad guys screw up and hand us a gift like this, it comes down to whether we’re savvy enough to use it. McConnell is not on the ballot in 2022. But several Republican senators in moderate states are. We should ask them every day if they agree with McConnell racist remark.

“We must decide what kind of nation we [will] be. Are we going to be a nation that accepts political violence as a norm? Are we going to be a nation where we allow partisan election officials to overturn the legally expressed will of the people?” @JoeBiden

"We've seen a lot in these last 4.5 years of Donald Trump and nothing, in my experience, was more serious than this attempt to overthrow a lawful election, corrupting and weaponizing the Department of Justice. Absolutely horrifying."

“What I believe is unprecedented is for a member of House leadership of either party to be unable to condemn incitement of violence against a member of this body… What is so hard about saying that this is wrong?”

“Guaranteeing the right to vote and ensuring every vote is counted has always been the most patriotic thing we can do… John Lewis said, ‘Freedom is not a state; it is an act.’ …We WILL act… For our democracy, for America itself, we MUST act.” @JoeBiden
Tom Brady: “Not a lot of people think that we could have won. And in fact I think about 40% of the people still don't think we won.”

January 6 was a failed attempt to overthrow American democracy.
By purging Liz Cheney, the Republican Party completed its transformation into a fascist, Authoritarian cult.

“I want people to understand the significance of January 6… I want people to understand that thousands of rioters came to the Capitol hell-bent on violence and destruction and murder." DC Metro Police Officer Michael Fanone 4/27/21 @donlemon @CNNTonight
“The President* of the United States sending an angry violent mob to disrupt proceedings at the Capitol cannot stand… This is not something we can look past or pretend didn’t happen or move on… We’ve got to make sure this never happens again.” Liz Cheney
