I’ll just add that this is probably a really good thing, even for the GOP. It’ll diffuse (or, at least, make really rodoculous) an eventual Dem/media talking point aimed at undermining the integrity of our elections if/when the GOP flips the House in 2022.

Here’s the full clip, where Watters says that young conservatives should directly challenge Fauci if he comes to their college campuses and “be respectful”
It’s absolute bullshit to pretend he’s calling for violence. He’s urging young conservative activists, if people like Fauci come to their campus, to use it as an opportunity to ask pointed questions.
NEW: The Biden Admin sent talking points out today touting their accomplishments to (some) reporters. It can only be described as a war on reality.
Quick 🧵 to break down the end-of-year desperation they’re hoping the press will buy. ⤵️
First, vaccination rates. Without mentioning that the Admin inherited three vaccines from their predecessor, Biden claims credit for a 70% jump in vaccination rate year-over-year.
A year ago, the first vaccine had been administered one week prior, so OF COURSE vax rates were low.
But when Biden was sworn in, the US was vaccinating citizens at the 5th highest rate in the developed world.
I know it can seem easy to laugh or shrug off. But it’s instructive in why so many people don’t trust the corporate press and the Dems & commentators who help drive it.
So let’s revisit ⤵️
First, a reminder on the original details. Actor @JussieSmollett alleged that two white men wearing MAGA hats out for a stroll at 2 AM in Chicago in -20 degree weather recognized him & beat him up yelling racist and homophobic slurs. Luckily, he fought them off, supposedly.
The press quickly jumped on the story despite the relatively inconceivable nature of the allegations, asserting that surely this had happened as Smollett describes.
Here’s @CNN reporting this as not something they was alleged but that definitely happened (multiple times).
Student loan debt is disproportionately held by people with higher incomes. Demanding that everyone - including many millions who are worse off - subsidize the interests and investments of those who are better off is fundamentally and inescapably immoral.
If we were serious about forgiving debt that is often crippling and has a clear racial dynamic we would be talking about medical debt. bloomberg.com/news/features/…
“Wh*te Parents Concerned about Exposing Their Children to Occasional Gunfire are Promoting White Supremacy” coming to your local opinion page any day now
I continue to wonder how deep the brainworms must be to write “an area where frequent gun shots are a problem” seriously.
