@RepJackBergman spread Trump’s #BigLie. We, his constituents (R & D), are calling on his corporate donors to hold him accountable and commit to #DefundBergman
Thread:
It started w/handful of #MI01 constituents, about 45 of us from across the second largest Congressional District east of the Mississippi.
We knew we had to hold our Rep. Jack Bergman & his big donors accountable after his #BigLie led to the #Jan 6 violent coup attempt
This hurts and I’m tired of it.
The horrible new ABC News/Washington Post poll finds Donald ahead by 9 points against President Biden.
The MEDIA is to blame for this.
In 2016, watching broadcast and cable news normalize Donald, a corrupt and incompetent man, was very difficult for me to endure.
They presented him as if he were a legitimate candidate, despite the many failures and crimes he’d left in his path for over 60 years.
They had no problem airing his rallies in full; they ignored credible allegations of business fraud and sexual assault—as well as actual evidence of his multiple bankruptcies, horrific treatment of treatment of workers, and gob-smacking failure as a “deal-maker.”
And you know what’s horrifying?
They are doing it again. And this time, it’s worse.
As cable news organizations struggle for ratings, they spend more time talking about Biden’s age than Donald’s 4 indictments, 91 criminal charges, and disastrous first terms. Plus, Biden is only THREE years older than Donald!!! In 2016, Donald was the oldest president in history to be elected and no one talked about his age.
That’s because this narrative is complete bullshit.
It is not normal for someone with 91 criminal charges across four jurisdictions to be a party’s front runner for president.
It’s not normal for the media to talk about a man who’s accused of launching a coup against our country as a legitimate candidate.
It’s not normal for the media to talk about a man who was found legally responsible for rape as a legitimate candidate.
None of this is normal.
I know this poll is an outlier, but in a sane country Biden would be ahead by 40 points. In a healthy, functioning democracy, Donald would not even be allowed to run.
I’m fighting back in part by cataloguing in my newsletter not just his crimes but the crimes and complicity of his enablers. We know the corporate media won’t do it on their own. 👇🧵
Help me get the word out before the media’s kid glove treatment gets Donald back into the White House.
We can’t let that happen.
In reality, Matt DePerno had nothing to back up the idea of an "algorithm" flipping votes.
Human errors caused the problems in Antrim County.
The mistakes were quickly identified and corrected.
The facts are clear: https://t.co/PT20kLNUPh
@RepJackBergman receives huge $ from Lockheed & Boeing while voting to uphold & even expand their military contracts. He gets $ from Honeywell, General Dynamics, Northrop Grumman & many other companies wanting gov contracts. He does NOT represent us #MI01! #DefundBergman
Trump’s former attorney sounds the alarm, demands that the Justice Department immediately investigate whether Donald Trump and Jared Kushner sold Saudi Arabia any of the military secrets in the top secret documents that Trump stole and stashed.
Michael Cohen declared, “The Justice Department should be, if they're not already, looking at the unholy relationships that exist between Saudi Arabia, Mohammed bin Salman, and Jared Kushner. I mean, this whole two plus billion dollars to an unqualified hedge funder makes no sense to me, and in light of the information that came out, that there was military information on Iran, and we all know what that Saudi Arabia has had Iranian aggression on their mind for a long time -- who knows what was shown to them? Who knows what was discussed? Who knows what was sold? None of us."
Cohen continued, “I do believe that our law enforcement, because we have the greatest law enforcement in the world, they can find anything, and I do believe they will find a lot of information that goes on outside of Trump, even though I do believe he probably had his hands in it, that he certainly knows about it, and chances are, if he had his hand in it and he knew about it, he profited it from it.”
This should strike fear in the heart of every American who gives a damn about our struggling democracy.
Please RT and ❤️ if you think that the Justice Department MUST launch an immediate investigation — and consider joining the growing exodus to Tribel, a new Twitter competitor that is exploding in popularity because Elon Musk banned Tribel’s Twitter account — but he forgot to ban this link to download the new Tribel app: https://t.co/HnJzSKj4Hp
Even with DJT saying and writing things like the attached message @RepJackBergman stands by his man better than Tammy Wynette! #DefundBergman#Jan6

This will be my last tweet today. I only intended to acknowledge the importance of this moment .
But this is important enough for me to say how despicable of a man Trump is to post this today. A sick mentally unfit weak and trembling child. A beta who is so afraid.
@MuellerSheWrote Thanks for citing the Antrim County election debacle. Rep Bergman was involved with this deception and has faced NO consequences. Our Sec of State will deal with the 1/6 fake elector probe when the DOJ moves on her recommendations. @JocelynBenson@RepJackBergman@DefundBergman
@DefundBergman@RepJackBergman If you are casting blame about the current state of things, then you also better be telling us how you are working with the party in power to come to a negotiated solution. If not, then shut up and get to work!

@GrizUo @Pit2Luv @DrLorinser @RepJackBergman If someone doesn’t convince Bergman and pro-Bergman voters of how important broadband and other #MI01 needs are over and above the GOP, Donald and the insurrection, Jack and whomever comes up next will, unfortunately, have the advantage. #DefundBergman#Jan6
