This is a lie. Reid either doesn’t live on the same planet as we do or she knows that this is a lie.
This is just Portland:
The fact that people like Reid pretend that this isn’t an issue is exactly why everyday Americans are readily souring on BLM.
The violence is real. You can either attempt to wish it away or address it.

But it’s a conspiracy theory to pretend that it’s some right wing hoax.

The level of concern the media had for social distancing during the RNC at the White House vs. this weekend’s protests is...something.

@politico found the RNC seating problematic enough to cover, but crickets about 50k people gathering in the midst of a pandemic. ImageImage
They weren’t alone, of course.

@CBSNews and @weijia did the same thing. They mustered a lot of outrage about Trump’s lack of social distancing, but had no such concerns with the protest simultaneously taking place across the street or the march this weekend. ImageImageImage
You’ll be shocked to see @maddow employ the same double standard. ImageImage

Okay, something’s been on my mind about political violence, if you’ll indulge me for a thread.

Why don’t we ever talk about the congressional baseball shooting?
We had an event three years ago that, but for the heroism and quick thinking of two CPD officers, would’ve been the most significant act of political violence - at the hands of a democratic campaign volunteer - since, what, JFKs assassination?

And we just don’t talk about it.
And we have Dem elected officials who are using the same hateful and vitriolic language that radicalized one of their own to commit the atrocity about their republican colleagues.

Just look.

A handful of former Republican electeds got a lot of media attention recently for opposing Trump's re-election bid.

Beyond the fact that many had endorsed Dems in 2016 or before, the reporting also ignored that *more than half* of them are lobbyists. 🧵usatoday.com/story/news/pol…
We'll go through them alphabetically.

First, Tom Coleman of Missouri, currently of counsel for Stinson, Morrison & Hecker. (1) opensecrets.org/revolving/rev_…
I think most people are familiar that Charlie Dent, former Representative of Pennsylvania, waited about 15 minutes longer than the mandatory 1-year cooling off period before becoming a lobbyist: (2) inquirer.com/news/pat-meeha…
