In 2015, Pete tweeted that Hillary Clinton was unlikable. He thought other potential female candidates — like Elizabeth Warren — would be far more “likable.”

Now that Elizabeth Warren is running, does Pete still think she’s likable? Read the thread to find out!
Here is a later tweet in which Pete suggested a “likable” ticket of Joe Biden and Elizabeth Warren, instead of the “unlikable” Hillary Clinton.
It’s 2019, and just a day after Elizabeth Warren announced her plan to run for president, Pete was already expressing concern that Dems may repeat the mistakes of 2016 by running an “unlikable” candidate—even though he once suggested Warren as a “likable” alternative to Clinton.

THREAD: After seeing this tweet from Politico, I decided to search for tweets by several mainstream news orgs and see how they use the terms “likeable,” “unlikable,” and “likability” when applied to men vs. women. The results are...stark.
First of all, those words are used far more often to refer to women. Politico did note in 2014 that Hillary Clinton—who at the time had a favorable rating in the 60s—was now “likable enough” vs 2008.
If you’re Politico and reporting that a male politician—former Illinois Mayor Rod Blahojevich—has been found guilty of trying to sell a US Senate seat like, though, it’s important to note that the jurors found him likable, criminality aside.

VIDEO: Staffers caught dragging, slapping, & pushing migrant children at a detention facility operated by Southwest Key (a nonprofit whose CEO makes millions on the backs of undocumented children). Full video as obtained by the Arizona Republic: google.com/amp/s/amp.azce…
“Though Southwest Key is, on paper, a charity, no one has benefited more than Mr. Sanchez, now 71. Serving as chief executive, he was paid $1.5 million last year — more than twice what his counterpart at the far larger American Red Cross made.”

google.com/amp/s/www.nyti…
“Mr. Sanchez is central to the administration’s plans. Southwest Key can now house up to 5,000 children in its 24 shelters, including a converted Walmart Supercenter that has drawn criticism as a warehouse for youths.“

Démarche très intéressante de la sénatrice du Massachusetts Warren, officialisant sans le dire, sa candidature pour la présidentielle 2020 contre #Trump.
Elle répond au président qui remettait en cause ses origines amérindiennes et par la science (ADN), et par la famille.#thread
2) D'1 part, #Warren, par sa démarche, est la 1ère à proposer 1 remède à la pratique de l'étiquetage par #Trump qui a tant fait pour son succès en 2016 et après. Trump étiquette par le surnom 1 identité politique négative à son rival qu'il oblige ensuite à être sur la défensive
3) Low Energy Jeb (#Bush), Little Marco (#Rubio), Crooked Hillary (#Clinton) peuvent témoigner depuis leur tombe politique nationale de l'efficacité de cet étiquetage de #Trump: force de la formule bâtie sur la dérision, très facilement mémorisable pour être répétée et scandée...

Trump & Ted Cruz support Alex Jones:

"I got an idea, why doesn't somebody do a Quran burning in front of J.K. Rowling's house ... how do we get the Islamists to her house, do we put an ad out saying 100 Islamist men can move in with her? Maybe they can genitally mutilate her."
Desperate @SenTedCruz & Trump decided to devote the time of a US Senator & Trump devoted his golf time to prop up dangerously unhinged conspiracy theorist Alex Jones.

Republicans are lost.

We need a coalition of the sane to vote out every Republican

I'm hesitant to share video of Alex Jones but I'm not sure the general public understands just how much criminal activity goes on during his "show"

It is extremely dangerous and people need to know the details. He regularly incites violence with his unstable gun loving audience

I will "probably not" ask potential nominees how they'll vote on Roe V Wade, because: "They were all saying 'don't do that...you shouldn't do that.'" But he adds that abortion might end up being a state decision at some point.

Trump Hotels' website still lists Trump SoHo New York among its properties in the Our Hotels menu. Select its name though to access its page and there's a message about it being renamed

Two errors in the 2nd graf of Breitbart's Trump Hotel DC article:
-holdings aren't out of @realDonaldTrump's hands: trust isn't blind & he can profit from it
-Trump Org told Congress it was estimating foreign receipts—not auto donating in full

#Trump used the same trick as George W did in Florida. By removing voters of color in 28 states, Trump supposedly won the electoral college.
