We will not stand for gaslighting and revisionism. Recall:

Bork ‘87
Thomas ‘91
Estrada, et al ‘01-‘05
Nuclear ‘13
Kavanaugh ‘18

These are the relevant, seismic events that brought us to this moment. Every single one represented a consequential Democratic escalation.

And don’t counter with ‘Merrick Garland.’ That withholding of Senate consent aligned w/ the clear historical norm under divided power in a presidential election year. Tonight’s confirmation vote does the same, under united control of the WH & Senate.

Dems’ victimhood narrative is 💯 false. They feel entitled to power. But they lost the relevant elections for three constructive cycles. No rules were violated, the constitution was followed & norms were maintained—including new standards imposed by Dems in previous power grabs.

This was wholly legitimate process. It confirmed a worthy, majority-supported nominee. We have a new SCOTUS Associate Justice, the fifth woman to ever attain that title.

three *consecutive cycles — 2014, 2016 (president & senate), and 2018 — the last of which the Democratic leader called a referendum on Kavanaugh (GOP gained two seats in an otherwise ugly year). Links in my final tweet provide additional details, context k evidence.
