Pretending COVIDIOTs & MAGA are "equal" in numbers or represent "the other side" which must be heard and represented in the press is lunacy. COVID science is NOT a matter of opinon. 1/4
MAGAats lying about Trump crimes, lies and leadership role in the Jan 6th terror attack on our Capitol, or even denying it happened -- are NOT "the other side". They are liars, traitors and worse. Address them as such and treat them as such. 2/4
Push back on those who try to silence you by urging "civility". If they were directly at your door trying to harm and kill your loved ones, you would not be "civil". If they were on your street with guns and tanks, and you were able to fight back, you would not be "civil". 3//4
We will not have any more chances to save ourselves, our country and our democracy. And, in fact, it may actually be too late. It is imperative that we fight back, knowing what's at stake. Be the hero, so that you STOP making heroes out of the wrong people. 4/4

I was a political pundit for about 18 years, logging in a few thousand appearances on FOX, MSNBC, CNN and other venues. I was at FOX studios a couple times a week during 2015, and was alarmed at the changes in the summer and fall of 2015 before Trump ordered them to ban me. 1/7
Everyone knew what a buffoon Trump was and openly said so. But one by one, like Stepford Wives, key people would suddenly "shift" to support Trump but could no longer look me in the eye. I knew something else was going on. This was not organic -- not legit.2/7
It was chilling. I'd been making my living in politics, campaigns and media for decades and had never seen this before -- ESPECIALLY not in a primary with so many legit candidates. A few months later, CNN was doing the same. Banned me on Trump's orders. Still in the primary.3/7

It's been traumatizing to be blacklisted by FOX & CNN for confirming a published report that Trump had a superPAC, then be catfished, hacked, spied on by Trump hired thugs, canceled by "bros" in media in bed w/Michael Caputo & JD Gordon, and to see Garland let them all skate 1/4
And to wonder if my immune system was compromised by all of this, resulting in my stage 3 cancer. And to hear story after story and witness media still protecting criminals, the white male power structure stronger than ever as women get ruined, yet we're told to still "fight"2/4
.... while getting nothing in return -- no justice, no reparations, no equal or fair treatment by the media, no getting our lives, livelihoods and reputations back. No nothing. 3/4

TBT: This is why Trump forced Roger Ailes and @CNN's Jeff Zucker to blacklist me. I could confirm he had the superPAC and was lying when he said he didn't. It was only the primary and they were protecting him. washingtonpost.com/politics/the-i… 1/5

@williegarson was not just a great actor and person, but a patriot. He was one of our celeb readers for "America Reads The Mueller Report" we aired on local TV in key battleground states to reach persuadable voters. He joined @morgfair @MrJonCryer @Montel_Williams @TomArnold 1/6

When I first started going on TV as a political "pundit" it was unheard of to not have literally years of political experience. If you were "camera ready" it helped. Then it turned into a free-for-all of young women w/no experience but w/ insider boyfriends getting them on TV
Putting Roger Ailes' backwash next to David Gergen as if "colleagues" is a disservice to viewers, actual political operatives, and to journalism itself. It's also dangerous since lawmakers do, in fact, adjust how they do their work, in reaction to these pundits. It matters.
I remember one of them offering "analysis" on then-candidate Romney re: Virginia primary: "Romney would really like to win Virginia"(really?? DUH!) and she lliterally had no idea what the strategy was, polling, history, political environment, or how endorsements played.

If congressional Dems hadn't let Michael Caputo off the hook for lying under oath to Congress about his dealings with Russians during the 2016 campaign, and CNN had not made him a TV star pundit, he'd NEVER have been at HHS to implement the COVID strategy to infect & kill us.1/4
Letting Trump criminals skate has big, dangerous, and even deadly consrquences. Trump "respects" people who get on TV and people who get away with crimes, which is why he put Caputo at HHS. Congressional Dems need to acknowledge their role. 2/4
Yes, referring Caputo to DoJ at that time would've resulted in Sessions letting him off the hook. But it also would have made it less likely that CNN would've elevated Caputo to "respected pundit" and Trump would never have placed him at HHS to spread COVID. Harsh, but true 3/4
