Steve Scalise is the GOP pick for House Speaker
Stated he is Grand Wizard “David Duke without the baggage”
Rounded up 192 Republicans voted against the Infant Formula Supplemental Appropriations Act
Helped amplify the Big Lie
Spoke at an anti-LGBTQIA rally months after a lesbian police officer saved his life
Worked against Ebola aid, took credit for Ebola aid
Yep…solid republican résumé.

@Free_Press Let's be clear. This brilliant mastermind is a terrorist. An animal. If you put a suit on a monster and invite him on your show, he's still a barbaric monster. There's no way in hell I'm going to invite him in to polite society, and pretend he's some thought leader. He and his acolytes are human garbage. Period.

@jeffjarvis Looking back at vice presidents, historically, Harris is clearly being judged unfairly. What other VPs have had much of an impact? Biden was a very rare one. Quayle? LOL.

Because there is a difference between supporting terrorism, and supporting the Palestinian people, just as there is a difference between criticizing Israeli government policy and antisemitism.

Ya know, there is NOTHING coming in from the House to vote on. There is NOTHING happening in the Senate. Why doesn't Schumer just bite the bullet and spend the next week promoting people, all day, every day, screw Tuberville. The Senate is just sitting on its thumbs right now, so get to work! The Democrats seem to be almost as intransigent as Tuberville in this particular case.
