27/ Here is @SteveScalise, Representative from LA-01

“Each state has a process for selecting their electors and sending them to Washington. Madam speaker, in a number of those states, that constitutional process was not followed.” nytimes.com/live/2021/01/0…
@SteveScalise @RepTedBudd 29/ Here is @HawleyMO, Senator from MO (and the ring-leader of the effort to undermine the electoral college certification)

@SteveScalise @RepTedBudd @HawleyMO @LouBarletta_PA @RepFredKeller @CawthornforNC 33/ Here is @MikeKellyPA, Representative from PA-16

“Therefore, the state's official certification of electors was based upon a flawed system and an inaccurate vote count. Thus, very possibly resulting in an erroneous certification."

1/ If you’re surprised that extremists stormed the Capitol, don’t be.

These domestic terrorists & their enablers within GOP & conservative media have fomented dangerous & racist conspiracy theories about “their country” being taken away from “them” FOR YEARS. Here’s how.
2/ Organizations like @NRA & Republican lawmakers ACTIVELY encourage followers to go out and purchase firearms to protect themselves from "tyrannical government." Some lawmakers directly advocated for a militant coup. Here’s how @NRA does it:
@NRA 3/ In 2008, the election of our first black president only accelerated the hate, racism and division.

Republican lawmakers immediately adopted a tactic of delegitimizing Obama and his policies (even if they had agreed with those policies in years past).

Hours after a mob stormed the Capitol radicalized by false claims about the election being stolen, @foxnews just had someone on air who:

1. blamed the violence on "bad apples" who were inspired by "antifa & the left"

2. regurgitated the lies about the election being stolen
@FoxNews Fox has now moved on to having someone else on explaining that the mob is rightfully frustrated because the media has lied to them and perpetrated "the Russia hoax"
@FoxNews "When people can't trust the media, then yes, things like this will be the result," Sarah Palin tells @foxnews before claiming that the violence at the Capitol was probably instigated by antifa.

(Not kidding)

1/ I'm starting a thread of all of the Republicans who humored Trump after his loss, spread lies and misinformation about the election and created a permission structure for these domestic terrorists to cause chaos.

Pls help me add to the list here: forms.gle/eq3SAEqGtCixMy…

1/ Last night’s election in GA underscores that voters are demanding federal action to build safer communities with fewer guns.

@NRA poured millions in outside spending into the runoff, but voters rejected their “guns everywhere” agenda
@NRA 2/ GA voters rejected two "guns everywhere" GA senate candidates after a year in which gun sales spiked and our nation experienced a significant increase in gun deaths.

In 2020, Atlanta’s homicide count rose to the highest levels since 1998.
@NRA 3/ Biden & Harris ran the most ambitious agenda for reducing gun deaths in history & received most votes ever cast for a presidential ticket

Yesterday’s election results in GA demonstrate that the new admin must take *proactive action to build safer communities on day 1*

Three days later, he allegedly suggested "we blow up the FBI building for real"

1/ Florida's @GovRonDeSantis has drafted legislation that would, in effect, empower armed white vigilantes to kill black people. 

DeSantis wants to *expand* FL's Stand Your Ground law to allow armed citizens to shoot anyone engaged in “criminal mischief” that disrupts business
@GovRonDeSantis 2/ @GovRonDeSantis' proposal would even offer immunity to drivers *who claim to have unintentionally killed or injured protesters who block traffic* miamiherald.com/news/politics-…
@GovRonDeSantis 3/ Stand Your Ground laws -in place in 27 states- have *consistently been invoked as a defense for killing Black people.*

3 best known examples: 

Trayvon Martin
Jordan Davis
Ahmaud Arbery

~30 ppl die EACH MONTH in a SYG-related incident in states with these laws enacted
