1/🧵Tiffany Justice may not be as well connected with these political circles, but she is right down the road, and had her share of scandals. She is the current spokesperson for the Moms, probably bc she doesn't have the same kind of hiding financial connections as the other 2.
2/ Her tenure as a school board member was marked by several scandals, accusations of an affair with the superintendent, and abuse of her office. She even tried to have someone criminally prosecuted for gossip.
3/ Of course her political views were generally racist, papered over with pretend Christianity like the KKK does, and she again overstepped her bounds in trying to control a committee that was set up for parents to help close racial achievement gaps.
4/ "In 2018, they came to a partial agreement with the NAACP in which the court would no longer “oversee integration of school facilities, the ratio of black non-teaching staff to white, and the ratio of black administrators to white administrators.”
5/ So basically she's like the girl next door, and the GOP promoted her for being racist and stupid...because that's what they do. I doubt she's thought twice about the fact that their war on masks in schools literally killed people.

This new REPUBLICAN group started in #Brevard County, FL. They spread across the country(like COVID), calling themselves "non-partisan" and "grassroots", they are neither. Last week, they formed 4 large PACs. Let's dive in!
2/ FACT: The Republican agenda IS to privatize public education, and put that tax money into their own private piggy banks. They have already taken several steps down that road, and that's not an exaggeration.
1🧵/ Bridget Ziegler is a current school board member in Sarasota County, FL. She has stepped aside in her role with the Moms probably b/c of the conflict of interest with her job as a school board member, running for re-election.
2/ Also in Sarasota is traitor Mike Flynn, racist State Sen. Joe Gruters, Chair of The RPOF, the #CyberNinjas who did the #Fraudit in AZ, and the founder of the MAGA Patriot Party.
3/ Some excellent research on Joe Gruters Chair of #RPOF, Christian Ziegler(Bridget's husband, and Vice Chair of RPOF), and the scummy world of political financing they all dwell in, by @gal_suburban 🍻
1/🧵 Tina Descovich is the ringleader of the "#MomsForLiberty" circus. She is a former school board member in #Brevard, and she was defeated by #JenniferJenkins for her seat in 2020. The same Jennifer Jenkins who State Rep Randy Fine is being investigated for threatening.
2/ The "small office" she claims to work out of is also home to many other interesting things, including an org she had with the other founding "mom", Bridget Ziegler, over 2 years ago.
3/ Before she was a school board member, her website says she was a marketing/PR/HR professional who has close ties to the defense industry. With Randy Fine, we can add casinos to that list.
Playing russian roulette with kids' lives during #Covid makes a little more sense now.
He incited the mob with lies, he invited the mob to D.C., he encouraged the mob and they became angry, he directed the mob and they marched to the capitol. And he had lots of help. That's not dereliction, thats insurrection.
1/ It wasn't a conspiracy theory, it was a #CrimeAgainstHumanity...and it came from Florida. 🧵
The GOP started lying about COVID when Trump called it a "hoax". THAT lie has cost hundreds of thousands of American🇺🇲 lives. It also made them and their friends billions $$.
2/ Trump said it was a hoax on Feb 27, 2020. Community transmission was being confirmed in multiple cities in the US. Around the world, case numbers were increasing exponentially everywhere one was found, and economic disruptions began roiling global financial markets.
3/ Four Republican Senators on the U.S. Senate Intelligence Committee who knew how bad the virus was, sold their stocks ahead of a market collapse which saw equity valuations plunge up to 40% worldwide in a matter of weeks.
