TWEETS OF NOTE
(@ClownWorld) There are two Americas right now. One where you go to church, work hard, coach little league, own a gun, fly a flag, and grill on weekends. And one where you protest on weekdays, demand the government fix everything, and call the first group extremists. One of these groups built this country. Just saying. 🇺🇸 Tweet.
(@WesternLensman) .@MZHemingway to Republicans dealing with the legacy media — understand your opponent for who they really are: “If you understand that you're not just having a debate with an opponent, but your most hostile and most rabid opponent; if you understand that they are propaganda and then you go into it, I think that's one thing.” “If you're just treating them like you still have this 1960s view of what the media are, that's when you're going to get in trouble.” A-men. Tweet.
