.@VoteMarsha ginning up the 'fake outrage' machine again. Last time she did this she violated @Twitter TOS against distributing hacked material. The first time she contributed to the deaths of a police officer and a decorated veteran. [THREAD] #TNSen

We've actually been writing threads about this for weeks now. In early October @Votemarsha resurrected her "#StopTheBias" hashtag which she shares with such fine upstanding orgs as Alex Jones' Prison Planet.
The gist of her argument is, hacked internal @Google emails reveal unflattering things its engineers believe about @VoteMarsha. (Many other people believe unflattering things about her for good reason, we might add.)
The trouble is, distributing hacked materials is explicitly against @TwitterSafety TOS.

This also raises an interesting q: Who hacked @Google's docs? @VoteMarsha longtime campaign mgr Kline Preston has more than a passing relationship w/Russia, possibly #RussianHacking.
He's also involved in the @NRA link #Mueller is investigating.

(We'd like to see @cjcmichel look into this, since he's done previous great work on @VoteMarsha Russia ties.)

Anyway, of course this wasn't the first time @VoteMarsha tried to play the victim card over having been "censored" by a private organization (which of course has the right to run ads from whomever it likes. A private company denying ad space isn't censorship.)
Back in 2015, @VoteMarsha, as chair of the House Investigative Panel on Planned Parenthood, went on a subpoena-abusing tirade against PP. Catalyst w s a video made by a cohort of #whitesupremacist James OKeefe (who you'll remember for his @TNGOP-coordinated 'gotcha'
vs @PhilBredesen last month) which purports to show PP employees talking about "selling baby body parts." It's false narrative.

(Lots more in our thread here)
But @VoteMarsha thought she had a winner in the "body parts" language even though it's a lie. In typical 'go big or go home' fashion she decided to use @Twitter decision to ban ads featuring the words to fundraise when she kicked off her #TNSen campaign.

However, a backstory: in November 2015 a deranged gunman ranting about "baby body parts" shot up a Planned Parenthood clinic in Colorado Springs. He killed police officer Garrett Swasey, shot five more officers, killed a decorated army veteran
and another bystander, then shot four MORE people, all the while ranting about "baby body parts."
As head of a Congressional committee around that same time, @VoteMarsha would have been on TV and in the press a lot using that phrase.

(You'd think for decency sake she'd shelve it out of respect for the victims. But nope. She used it a week ago.
You wonder if she even thinks about the family of Officer Swasey, who was a U.S. figure skating junior national champion before his career in law enforcement.)

Which brings us to the present time. @VoteMarsha has gone all in on characterizing a handful of peaceful protesters at one of her recent events as an "angry liberal mob." For her purposes it helps they were people of color - since she's got longstanding ties to #whitesupremacy.
She was on Horowitz' agenda TWICE - first time was 2011. She claims she "didn't attend" but has provided no proof of her supposed whereabouts on either date.

.@VoteMarsha proudly posed with out 'n proud racist Iowa Rep. Steve King and leaders of the Austrian Freedom Party founded by bona fide Nazis.
What she doesn't tell you: Back in 2001, as a state Senator, she was one of the ringleaders in a 1000-person *actual* mob which broke windows at the state Capitol and harassed lawmakers to stop a proposed state income tax.
Again, look at the language here: "@Google trying to censor" poor @VoteMarsha, who stole its internal property and distributed it in violation of @TwitterSafety. (Of course her allies in the fetid swamp right wing media cabal have this on every outlet.)

.@Google, of course, is likely aware @voteMarsha is using their hacked internal docs to fundraise - but in typical @VoteMarsha fashion she's got victim-blaming down to an art form.
.@Twitter is another company she's victimized, with crocodile tears over the 'body parts' ads they wouldn't let her place. This was two years AFTER twelve people were shot with the gunman ranting about "baby body parts," the same language she wanted to put in her ad.
Does anyone honestly think she DIDN'T know there'd be controversy over language linked to actual murders?
But carnage slowed @VoteMarsha down not a bit.
But carnage slowed @VoteMarsha down not a bit.
She had a #TNSen candidacy to advance, which she kicked off around the same time as the "body parts” controversy she engineered to promote herself, again with the right wing media cabal at her beck and call.
When announcing her campaign she said she's "proudly politically incorrect.” Which given her conduct might be interpreted as: forget you if you're female, brown, disabled, someone who cares about ethics, murders, etc.
Long story short: This woman is really a piece of work. If we don't get every potential voter out to the polls NEXT TUESDAY, it's going to be a long six years. (We, of course, will be the loyal opposition if she does eke this out - her history of scandal would fill 100 threads
and it will only get worse if we make her a Senator. You better believe we’ll be ON it.)
Of course, this can all be averted if you follow, vote for and support @PhilBredesen for #TNSen TODAY. This one's important, y'all.

Update: @VoteMarsha's got her "pro-life" buddies crying over "censorship" as well. (If they're so pro-life, why don't they care about the shootings of TWELVE people, 3 fatally, that arose from @Votemarsha's hate speech attacking @PPFA?)
