Holy crap. These guys are so sleazy it’s unbelievable. They are publishing the private DMs of a former member (might want to ask how they got them) to try to attack her and a reporter covering them, but the DMs aren’t that bad & undermine their previous smear of Horn.
They deleted, but the @ProjectLincoln apparently got access to @NHJennifer private DMs and published them to try to smear her and the reporter who had written a piece about them.
I get not wanting to admit you're wrong, but how do you not look back at this and recognize that the media's credibility problem is self-inflicted?
In just the last few weeks we've had stories from the NYT about how Cuomo hid nursing home numbers, abandoned vaccine plans, ignored health officials, & misled on data to justify restriction changes.
But these stories aren't new. The silence until now is what's damning.
Wait so the person who “broke into” her office was a Capitol police officer trying to evacuate her, who she then proceeded to baselessly accuse of trying to endanger her?
This is what reporters have been promoting all night?
Thus far AOC & several others have spent weeks smearing Capitol Police as complicit in the attack and other members as helping the attackers. They’ve provided no evidence for it.
She had legitimate reasons to be terrified that day, but this is just irresponsible at this point.
A lot of Capitol police officers got hurt that day protecting AOC and her colleagues. Some have had lasting trauma. They deserve better than one of the people they fought to protect that day running around and accusing them of being complicit without evidence.
This, as usual, relies on ignorance from his audience. If less people are symptomatic, less people will go and get tests. Starting on Jan 7th, Israel has required referrals to get tested so tests went down. Same percentage of smaller number = less cases.
Israel has absolutely seen a rapid decrease in new cases.
As for deaths, it's a lagging indicator. Further, deaths reported on a particular day often include those that occurred weeks earlier. I know Alex knows that bc he kept citing it to diminish Covid-19 impact.
I'm just getting tired of watching ridiculous conspiracy theorists get elevated on the right and never being held accountable for being consistently wrong/misleading their audience. It's exhausting.
So I was mostly going to ignore this because it seemed rather obvious this was a partisan hit from Salon and some Democrats, but now more mainstream outlets are picking it up. (1/)
1) Tom Cotton had deployments to Afghanistan and Iraq. 2) Cotton was honorably discharged with multiple accommodations, including a Bronze Star. 3) Cotton finished Ranger school and earned a Ranger tab.
Salon, and some Democrats, have accused him of misleading regarding his military service by having literature that has said he "volunteered to be an Army Ranger" even though he never served in the 75th Ranger Regiment.
It was obvious when the Los Angeles Teachers Union submitted a list of demands including defunding the police, Medicare for all, and a ban on charter schools to restart in-person instruction: dailycaller.com/2020/07/13/la-…
We've clearly made some mistakes and more urgency is needed to improve, but we are currently administering 1.1 million vaccines per day. We are doing significantly better than 99% of the countries in the world, including all of the EU.
Many of the same people complaining now were telling us 4 months ago that there was no way we would even see a vaccine before 2021.
And the countries ahead of us don't have to deal with the same logistics challenges as distributing to a country with 300 million people.
That doesn't mean we shouldn't be making adjustments. We clearly aren't using enough of the vaccines that have been distributed. We know production can keep up with demand so we need to lower the restrictions of who is getting vaccinated. But that doesn't = failure.
