the GOP is not splitting w/ Trump

pls stop writing those stories
there is no “reckoning,” no matter how many times NYT thinks so
If I had to guess right now, I’d say *maybe* 6 GOP votes for impeachment in House out of nearly 200
We’re at 7.

dear media: tell me more abt the GOP “reckoning”

that NYT Trump Voter story is really remarkable/sad

in the wake of a deadly riot, the paper gives a national platform to people who lie abt everything.

**and the NYT types up their lies as "news"**

borderline inconceivable

what if the press had chosen a different path over last four years? pressrun.media/p/trumps-final…
“What if the press had taken Trump's coup attempt more seriously over the last two months, instead of waving his strategy off as "performance art" and "bad sportsmanship"?
“What if national media outlets had refused to play any role in the GOP's attempt to denigrate the election process by denying a platform to Republican members of Congress who refused to say Joe Biden had won the election?”

reminder: days after Nov election, DC press was typing up GOP talking points abt how Republicans had GA in the bag.

that didn't make any sense to me 7 weeks ago; pressrun.media/p/gaslighting-…
"Something has clearly changed in the Peach State, as Democrats posted record turnout in counties outside Atlanta. The press ought to respect that and stop assuming Republicans are going to win the Senate before a single runoff vote is counted. "
NYT, WP, and Politico all rushed out stories assuming McConnell would be Senate leader during Biden's first term — they all assumed GA runoffs were layups for GOP
