Speaker of the TN House Cameron Sexton just removed me and every Democrat — and therefore every Black elected official in the state legislature from any committee we served on.
This move strips nearly 2 million Tennesseans from the representation they deserve in TN state leg.
. @Mike_Pence wants to warn Republicans about the “siren song of populism.” I want to remind him of what the last half-century of his “traditional conservative principles” actually produced.
1. It produced NAFTA.
2. It produced the WTO deal that handed China our manufacturing base.
3. It produced twenty years of nation-building in the Middle East while our own Nation crumbled.
4. It produced a ruling class of Republicans who won elections, controlled committees, gave speeches about limited government, and delivered NOTHING.
Not one inch of a wall.
Not one factory brought home.
Not one federal agency, activity or department reined in.
NOTHING, so stop with your BS!
Mike, that is the path you want us to return to. You call it principle. I call it failure with a flag pin on the lapel.
The American people did not drift toward populism. They ran toward it because the alternative was another decade of men like you (@VP45) managing their decline while assuring them it was conservatism.
We are done being managed.
We are done being lectured.
We are done watching Washington Republicans cash out while the country falls apart.
There is no time for choosing, Mike. The choice was made (three times to be exact). The only person who hasn’t accepted it is YOU.
You may as well be speaking to the hand! You’re wasting your time if you believe for a second that you have a shot at the presidency.
Americans are now demanding far more leadership than you ever demonstrated.
Have a nice day!
Thank you for your attention to this matter!
Mike Pence: "I think Republicans ought to do a lot of soul-searching" before 2028
"I think Republicans face a new time of choosing — whether we're going to stay on the path of the traditional conservative principles that have always defined our party for the last half century, or whether we're going to follow the siren song of populism"
"We've always been a party committed to low taxes, including low tariffs and free trade. Now, as we witnessed, the president imposed unilateral tariffs on friend and foe alike until the Supreme Court stepped in and used the Constitution to turn him back."
"I know Donald Trump better than his most ardent defenders know him. Okay? And he is not ideological. In fact, he often bristled when I would refer to policies as conservative. He would, with a wave of a hand, say to me, 'That's just common sense.' But now, as you see the stops and starts on our support for Ukraine under this administration, nationalizing American businesses, unilateral tariffs, price controls on everything from pharmaceuticals to credit cards, all of this should should create a backdrop for a very healthy debate over whether we're going to stay moving in the direction, on these issues, that President Trump has led our party, or whether we're going to re-ground ourselves back to those timeless conservative principles, I think, that have always made not only our party successful but, more importantly, have made America strong and prosperous and free."
🚨 ARGENTINA PRESIDENT JAVIER MILEI says it absolutely PERFECTLY
"I thought being on the left was a mental problem...what I discovered is that being on the left is a DISEASE of the SOUL."
"The left is built on envy, hatred, resentment, unequal treatment before the law. They are very violent."
"And since they have no way or arguments to answer, they go for physical violence."
"Lefties always resort to physical violence and all kinds of violent manifestations because they are unable to refute the arguments!" 🇺🇸🇦🇷
LA has over 40K drug addicts holding Angelenos hostage. All it takes is one to make moms feel too nervous to let their kids just go be kids and explore the quiet streets of their beautiful neighborhood. ENOUGH. We are done being held hostage in our own homes. Vote PRATT today!
Today’s sanctions demonstrate that the Trump Administration will not stand by while Cuba’s communist regime threatens our national security in our hemisphere. We will continue to take action until the regime takes all necessary political and economic reforms.
Reminder: even though nearly half of New England is conservative/Republican, Democrats have gerrymandered the GOP to zero house seats in the entire region.
The Virginia Supreme Court ruled 4-3 that Democrats in the legislature violated the state constitution's mandatory rules for proposing amendments. They must pass in two separate sessions with a general election in between. That didn't happen.
There were also misleading claims about what the amendment would do, stealthy efforts to ensure it had minimal public awareness, and misleading wording on the ballot to conceal its true nature.
What a shame, because gerrymandering Blacks into their own ghettoized districts is great for Democrats. And while everyone knows Dems take the Black vote for granted, it's clear the party's agenda is finely tuned to benefit them.
Or is it?
@KamalaHarris How many Democrats had their voices heard when voting for you in the Democratic primaries for the Presidential nomination?
Oh that’s right.
Zero.
You of all people don’t get to talk about the will of the voters.
You were literally installed. Not elected.
Sit down.
