FFS this group of anti-Dem losers (Lee, Grim, Glem, Tracey, etc.) are all just circle-jerking around with the same fallacious bs. There is nothing that can be construed in this Bernie tweet as 'defending Liz Cheney'. It's purely a statement of fact about the GOP.
Here's Grim too, of course Because they are all disingenuous creeps who only care about owning the libs.
Notice how none of them have anything to actually say about the substance; the GOP is pushing a Big Lie designed to further subvert democracy & make it harder for minorities to vote. But they don't care about that at all, only scoring point s on the 'shit libs.'
As a 'principled progressive', we gotta hand it to Josh Hawley when he spouts some clearly bullshit faux-populist rhetoric that he won't back up....but saying that Liz Cheney is acknowledging the truth about the election (while her party continues to lie), well...that's bad.
Sorry sorry. I forgot this guy in the circlejerk. Please forgive me.
Also forgot Zaid. Haven't checked what he's saying, but I am sure it's extremely, extremely dumb.
Which one of the crew will be on Tucker to talk about this tonight? Would bet any amount of money that it's coming.
Just so much tiresome disingenuousness. Glenn has like 30-40 tweets on Cheney from just today alone, and it's all about mocking libs for loving her. Not a single time does he actually even acknowledge the substance of the 'dispute' & whether he thinks it's right or wrong.

Btw- his whole multiple tweet rant against Ben Collins (for calling out the Newsmax nutter lady) was over an hour after the news story about Trump's DOJ getting the phone records of critical journalists, which he has still not even acknowledged. Priorities and all...
"Liberals love to dole out self-righteous sanctimonious lectures, full of a string of 18 different adjectives, while tweeting from their poolside cabanas in foreign countries. Tune in tonight where I talk about everyone else's hypocrisy live with Tucker Carlson."
BTW- If you were curious what the context of this insane projection, it was of course about defending Tucker Carlson (with whataboutism, naturally), because what else does he do these days...
Real Glem-heads remember when Wikileaks dumped all the emails from the Soy hacks, full of people's personal info, private convos & medical records, and Glem gleefully spread it around without a single concern for anyone's privacy. As is obvious, completely situational ethics
One of the private emails that he delighted in tweeting about was one journalist (can't remember who) calling him an 'asshole' in private. IIRC his justification for why it was not a gross abuse of privacy & actually good was that Sony did something one time with the USG.
It's fairly obvious to point out but Glem (and the other 'privacy' frauds) absolutely love invasions of personal privacy when it's someone they see as an enemy (USG, Dems, random libs, etc). The only reason Glem now gives a shit is bc the Gab ppl are his allies.
The Liz Cheney situation is a perfect microcosm of what the GOP is. They didn't turn on her for her family mantra of neocon militarism- they were totally cool with that. In fact they elevated her to a leadership position. But as soon as she decided to state a basic fact about/
the election results, rather than go along with the rest of the cult-like 'up is actually down' litmus test, then they all turned on her, just like that. It has nothing to do with 'rejecting interventionism' or w/e & everything to do with the GOP becoming a personality cult.
People like Glem have decided to cast that as further proof that since da shitlibs agree with Liz Cheney they are basically just neocons now. Rather than it being an indictment that the entire GOP, except for a select few, have decided to push a Democracy-erasing Big Lie.
It's always the same strawman, conflating objecting to their disingenuous bullshit (which is frequently just outright lies), with "oh you don't think you should criticize the powerful." Because being disingenuous is all they know.
