So, at the #DNC2020, @kerrywashington said "black people were considered three-fifths of a human being." #FactCheck: False. Slaves — not named as such in the Constitution — were counted as 3/5 for proportional representation. #DemConvention 1/3
This was a defeat for Southern slave states like Virginia, which wanted masters to have more political power and count slaves as 1 person for proportional representation. 3/5 was a compromise. This is a deceptive talking point. 2/3
Finally, free black people were counted as a full person for representation. While slavery was a heinous evil that the Founders made compromises to limit but did not expunge, people only muddy the waters with @kerrywashington's false claim. 3/3

🚨WHY LEMON WAS CHARGED

Can we please stop lying around here? Here's the grand jury indictment laying out why Don Lemon was charged.

At the pre-op briefing Chauntyll Louisa Allen briefed Lemon and the other conspirators about where and what they were doing.

On camera, Nekima Armstrong tells Lemon—who knows the location but is hiding it from his audience—that they're going to "disrupt business as usual" at what we later learned was Cities Church.

Lemon said he would see her there.

When did the disruption start? As the pastor was beginning his sermon.

The agitators "oppressed, threatened, and intimidated the Church's congregants and pastors by physically occupying most of the main aisle and rows of chairs near the front of the Church, engaging in menacing and threatening behavior (for some) chanting and yelling loudly at the pastor and congregants, and/or physically obstructing them as they attempted to exit and/or move about within the church."

🧵2/7Image
Image
In this indictment, we learn that it was William Kelly ("DaWoke Farmer") who shouted at a little kid, "Do you know your parents are Nazis? They're going to burn in hell."

When Don Lemon observed others leaving the service, he described people as "frightened," "scared," and "crying," which he said was understandable because the experience was "traumatic and uncomfortable," which he said was the purpose of the invasion.

Again Lemon said "the whole point of [the operation] is to disrupt."

🚨HORRIFYING NEW DETAILS

The invasion of Cities Church was even worse than we thought.

Agitators blocked stairs so "parents were unable to get to their children" at Sunday School.😡

One told a kid, "Do you know your parents are Nazis, they're going to burn in hell?"

🧵1/7 Image
Image
William Kelly, "DaWoke Farmer," shouted, "This ain't God's house. This is the house of the devil."

🧵2/7 Image
About 50 members of the congregation were "stuck" towards the front of the church. Not only did the agitators take over the service, but they "made it nearly impossible for parishioners to get out and leave."

🚨SILENCING IN THE NAME OF FREE SPEECH

The Congressional Black Caucus and 270 left-leaning groups tried to block me from testifying in Congress. Their rationale was extremely hypocritical and, dare I say, Orwellian.

🧵1/12

dailysignal.com/2025/12/18/orw…
CBC Chair @RepYvetteClarke said the hearing—which focused on my research on the SPLC—was a "deliberate effort to intimidate and discredit an institution that has spent decades defending civil rights, exposing hate, and advancing opportunity for all Americans."

🧵2/12 Image
Image
She said the hearing "undermines the very civil institutions that give everyday people voice, protection, and power."

So, she's endorsing the SPLC's "hate" accusations and failing to admit that the SPLC itself has undermined "civil institutions." More on that later.

🚨DEBUNKING DEMOCRAT SPIN

Here's @RepCohen's press release touting that he questioned the "smear" that the SPLC is anti-Christian, suggesting that he stood up against supposedly false claims.

But I know what really happened, because I was the witness.

🧵1/7 Image
Cohen did mention that some Christians support the SPLC. I don't disagree. It seems he thought I wouldn't be able to defend my assertion that the SPLC is anti-Christian, however.

I came ready to defend the claim.

🧵2/7
Here's theclip. Thanks to @chiproytx for allowing Cohen's questions to go over the 5 min in the @JudiciaryGOP hearing.

I noted that the SPLC, when branding @RuthInstitute a "hate group," cited as evidence @DrJrobackmorse's quoting the Catechism of the Catholic Church.

🚨CATHOLICS BEWARE

Gov-elect Abigail Spanberger apparently doesn’t consider it disqualifying for someone to endorse an activist group that considers the official teaching of your faith “hateful.”

🧵1/10

dailysignal.com/2025/12/05/chi…
Spanberger, the "moderate" "uniter," has nominated Stanley Meador to become secretary of public safety & homeland security.

Yes, it's the same Stanley Meador who led the FBI's Richmond office and approved the memo on "radical-traditional Catholics."

🧵2/10 Image
Image
To be sure, Meador has an impressive resume: he even earned a "Declaration of Valor" at the Pentagon on Sept. 11.

But that doesn't erase that he approved a memo citing the Southern Poverty Law Center on Catholicism. Spanberger needs to address this.

🚨RETALIATION?

The whistleblower account @Minnesota_DHS went viral after accusing Tim Walz of retaliation against whistleblowers amid the massive fraud scandals. X suspended the account. Conservatives think this was more retaliation.

🧵1/8

dailysignal.com/2025/12/02/ret…
“Certainly it was retaliation, the question is by whom?” @billglahn with @MNThinkTank told me.

He said the X account had been feeding him information only insiders would know.

🧵2/8 Image
State Rep. @KRobbinsMN suggested "someone went to X and said, 'They're not who they say they are,' which just is not true." Robbins told me that she has met in person with the whistleblowers behind the account.
