1/x Is there a more pitiful example of corrupt corporate media than Brian Williams?
He was fired as the anchor of NBC Nightly News for "misrepresenting events which occurred while he was covering the Iraq War in 2003.” Now, he’s a left-wing hack at MSNBC. msnbc.com/11th-hour/watc…
2/x Now, he’s throwing a hissy fit that I criticized the ridiculously woke video that the Biden admin put out. Williams accidentally told the truth, when he describes it as “a video meant to diminish the U.S. military.”
TRUE. That’s the problem. (The Pentagon put it out.)
3/x Now, with his trademark ignorant snark, he’s dubbed me “Kremlin Cruz.”
Three problems:
(1) I hate communists, my family was imprisoned & tortured by communists, and Brian is a shameless apologist for Russian (and Chinese and Cuban) communists.
4/x (2) I was arguing that our military needs to be able to kick the ass of Russian soldiers. It’s Brian & his lefty comrades that are working relentlessly to diminish the effectiveness of the U.S. military—the finest fighting force on the face of the planet.
5/x And (3) JUST THIS WEEK Biden gave Putin a multi-billion-dollar gift, when he waived mandatory U.S. sanctions to allow Russia to build Nord Stream 2, a massive natural gas pipeline to Germany.
Who authored the sanctions that STOPPED NS2? That would be me.
6/x Cover that, Brian.
But that would be actual news, something you don’t do.
Use your condescending wit to call Biden “Kremlin Joe”—he’s the one illegally giving billions to Putin.
But your corporate overlords wouldn’t let you.
Congrats, Brian. You are Pravda.

Democrats are pushing to upend the country by packing #SCOTUS to cement their radical agenda.
At stake: free speech, religious liberty, the Bill of Rights, & an independent judiciary.
It’s not just Republicans who oppose packing the Court, only 43% of Dem voters support it.
2/x
Despite widespread opposition, Democrats in DC are moving full steam ahead with their terrible idea.
Instead of politicizing the Supreme Court to ram through their extreme agenda, Democrats should listen to Joe Biden's own previous warnings about packing the court.
3/x
In 1983, Joe Biden called FDR's move to pack the Supreme Court a “bonehead idea. It was a terrible, terrible mistake to make & it put in question there for an entire decade the independence of [#SCOTUS].”
The White House hand-picked a TV crew to accompany their trip to the Carrizo Springs, NOT the Donna facility.
That’s not transparency.
True transparency would be to open the Donna facility to press that’s at 1,556% capacity when 18 Senators go there Friday.
Reports about the CBP's Donna facility indicate minors are hungry, have only showered once in 7 days, were forced to sleep on the floor, and haven't seen sunlight in days.
Of course the Biden admin isn't allowing cameras in that facility.
The Biden admin is instead taking a camera to HHS's Carrizo Springs facility which The Washington Post reports has a soccer field, basketball court, and "a legal services trailer has the Spanish word 'Bienvenidos,' or welcome, on a banner on its roof."
Yet another example of biased, dishonest “fact-checking.”
Newsweek admits “Individuals who overstay their visas but pay tax in the United States using a Social Security number may be eligible for stimulus payments.”
They also admit 676k visa overstays in a single year.
They ignore that those accumulate over decades, and 60% of the 12m total illegal aliens are visa overstays.
So, they conclude EVERY WORD THAT I SAID IS TRUE (and Dick Durbin’s claims to the contrary are false), but they’re left-wing propagandists, so they still call it “mostly false”!
2/x You claim “no illegal immigrants will get checks.”
Q1: Dick, true or false: 60% of illegal aliens are visa overstays.
Q2: True or false: Migrants who come to US legally on a work visa are allowed to have a SSN, yet when they overstay their visa they become illegal aliens.
3/x Q3: Dick, true or false: under the Dem bill, millions of illegal immigrants (w/ SSNs) will receive $1400 checks.
Q4: If that’s not true (you bellowed that it was “a lie!”), why did the nonpartisan Joint Committee on Taxation determine my amendment would save taxpayers $675m?
