.@GOPLeader Kevin McCarthy’s conduct deserves more media scrutiny. Specifically, his meltdown and unbecoming panic. He told his members that it was “ an easy vote” to embrace the Big Lie and assert the election was stolen. He told them it was an “easy vote” to nullify the vote
And silence the voices of millions of Americans because of their skin color. He led them in establishing the new Jim Crow Caucus. He led a group of 140 all white members in the cause of stripping millions of Black voters of their sacred franchise in the name of Trump. He helped
Incite the mob, blamed it on Trump and now says it wasn’t Trump’s fault. Now he says we are all to blame. He is flailing. The Corporate money is drying up. He is maneuvering and in trouble. The story that needs to be told is the one about his panicked leadership during the
hours he was secured during the violent insurrection. His comportment was apparently like the sweating, overmatched, lying villains conjured from the minds of screenwriters trying to imagine political characters that pocess the combinations of venality and cynicism that
Define the leader of the House’s GOP Minority. The rush chairman of the GOP caucus met a crisis of his own brewing and melted like a chocolate bar left on the hood of a car under the hot Bakersfield sun outside the sandwich shop he never owned or sold. The Capitol was ransacked
the Confederate Battle Flag breached the Rotunda, the American flag was pulled down and the MAGA flag was raised in its’ place. This is McCarthy’s doing along with @HawleyMO, @SenTedCruz , Trump, and others. It is the story of his weakness, indecisive dithering, panic,
and simpleton’s understanding of the chaos and death that flowed from his lying that needs to be told. I’m hearing more about it every day. It is shocking. @ProjectLincoln

.@ProjectLincoln@Microsoft has sent a crystal clear message about the importance of democracy. I’m confident Microsoft will do the right thing with regard to support for 147 Members who voted to silence millions of black Americans by nullifying their votes. Brad Smith deserves
Credit for leading Microsoft to be the first major American company to congratulate President Biden after his victory was certain. @ProjectLincoln understands that some companies want to include employee stakeholders in the decision to repudiate the lies that led to the murder
Of five people and the fall of the United States Capitol to a mob of fascist proud boys, conspiracy theorists, white supremacists and violent thugs that tried to hang the Vice President and murder the Speaker of the House so Trump could become Dictator. @ProjectLincoln sees

.Integrated. @GOPLeader Kevin McCarthy led 140 Members of Congress, all white, to nullify millions of black votes on the basis of a cynical lie for the purpose of maintaining the power of the loser of the election. If the scheme suceeded it would have ended the Republic.
.@ThePlumLineGS is one of my must reads. Unity does not mean submission to the delusions of the defeated minority that is riddled with Members who have denied the murderous evil of Parkland @fred_guttenberg , lied to the country about a stolen election which poisoned faith
and belief in democracy, incited insurrection and have blood on their hands for the murders of 5 people at the hands of the Fascist mob they incited. @POTUS called for a unity of purpose. He called the American people to unity around defense of our democracy and the urgent task
Of enduring the unendurable suffering of the virus as we seek to eradicate it. @potus is assembling a majority of Americans in a coalition of decency and good faith. There is no definition of unity that demands compromise with white supremacists, Proud Boys, neo Nazi’s
There is a profoundly important issue that is being grotesquely under covered in the media, particularly the business and tech media. It concerns the actions of 140 House Members led by @GOPLeader Kevin McCarthy and 7 US Senators on the night of January 6, 2021. This should not
be a difficult concept to grasp. 147 white members of the GOP congress rose for the purpose of nullifying black votes to maintain the loser of the election in political power. Had they been successful the American Republic would have fallen. The throwing out
Of millions of black votes is what that vote was about and that vote was immoral and UN American. No company can support any political committee that funds the people who voted to establish a new type of Jim Crow. They voted to strip the voice and rights away from millions of our
.@ProjectLincoln will have an announcement forthcoming with regard to the public actions we intend to direct against @Microsoft in the public square. It will consist of a broadcast and digital advertising campaign. It will be aimed at the Microsoft CEO. @satyanadella and the
.@Microsoft Board of Directors. It will be aimed at Microsoft employees and customers. This action will not stop until Microsoft commits to living its stated values and stops financing the Members of Congress who voted to nullify millions of Black votes after a violent attack on
the US Capitol. During that attack, which was incited by the lying of the Members Brad Smith has pledged to finance, the American flag was torn down and a MAGA flag hoisted in its place. An American flag was used to beat a Police Officer to death and 5 more were killed.
The first thing that stands out in the hysterical screed below is the foundational idiocy of its premise, the cynical and manipulative twisting of what @NicolleDWallace actually said and the quality of writing which borders on illiteracy. There is an autocratic movement in
America. It is built around a cult of personality that venerates Trump. Like all autocratic movements it is sustained by 1. Cynical Elites ( Hawley,Cruz,McCarthy, Graham) 2. Lying Propagandists. ( @MariaBartiromo@marklevinshow@newsmax@OANN@RedState ect.) 3. Financiers $
4. Thugs 5. Sheep ( hapless followers. The silently disapproving. Timid careerists who know better but go along step by step) Two weeks ago the Capitol of the United States fell to enemies of the Republic. The American flag was pulled down and the MAGA flag was raised in its
