Clint Smith

Former Independent candidate for US Congress #AZ05. Now an activist. It’s time to quit arguing and work the problems.

[Clint Smith @SmithforAZ]

@RepAndyBiggsAZ Nope. Just people who commit crimes, after due process.

[Clint Smith @SmithforAZ]

Adam is right. As usual. The Russian dissident had the courage to stand up to Putin. Our REP reps can’t muster the courage to stand against autocrats. Like Putin. And Trump.

"I like a good game," GOP Rep. Andy Biggs of Arizona told CNN. "They played a good game. I don't like that we lost." This isn’t pickleball, Congressman. It’s long past time to get serious about governing. https://t.co/AZZuP64iny

[Clint Smith @SmithforAZ]

@RepAndyBiggsAZ Well, surely not because they care about people in desperate plight. Obviously they are being sent here by their bosses in Moscow, Beijing, Mexico City and DC to take over our country. 😝

[Clint Smith @SmithforAZ]

@BarryMarkson1 At least Andy stood in the back…..

[Clint Smith @SmithforAZ]

@RpsAgainstTrump It is a cult. The Reps are denying aid to Israel, leaving Ukraine in the lurch and refusing to work on border solutions. Because Trump said to.

The Iowa caucuses are a threat to democracy. See the many reasons why in this article: a very limited number of voters who are not reflective of US voters have an outsized effect. Why are we still doing this?

[Clint Smith @SmithforAZ]

@RepAndyBiggsAZ And you are flat wrong. If we don't support the fight for democracy in Ukraine, we are abdicating our role as leaders of democracy. But you know all about that.

[Clint Smith @SmithforAZ]

@RepAndyBiggsAZ So what you’re saying is, prosecutors should check party affiliation before deciding to prosecute crimes?

[Clint Smith @SmithforAZ]

Who has the best one word explanation of these two conflicting posts?

[Clint Smith @SmithforAZ]

@RepAndyBiggsAZ Whataboutism. “The act or practice of responding to an accusation of wrongdoing by claiming that an offense committed by another is similar or worse.” Nice try

[Clint Smith @SmithforAZ]

via @NYTimes Well at least enough Republicans did the right thing to remove this guy. Truth - and being truthful - matters. Except to Andy Biggs and his friends who voted otherwise. https://t.co/1hxgLQuzqZ

Former first lady Rosalynn Carter dead at 96

Lots of good to say about this woman: humanitarian, “equal partner“ to her president husband, activist in promoting caring about others… Her life was Christianity in action.

[Clint Smith @SmithforAZ]

While Israel’s cause is just, this pause in fighting is needed for humanitarian reasons. Hamas must be defeated and held accountable for October 7 and the terror it brought on all Palestinians.

[Clint Smith @SmithforAZ]

@BarryMarkson1 Amen

[Clint Smith @SmithforAZ]

@dprince Nossir

[Clint Smith @SmithforAZ]

Agreed. And ineffective is dangerous!

[Arizona Democratic Party @azdemparty]

.@AFSCME gave Rep. Biggs a labor grade of 0% for voting against legislation that grows the economy & helps working-class Arizonans.

Not only is Rep. Biggs extreme - he's ineffective.

[Clint Smith @SmithforAZ]

“Gaetz and [Biggs] blew up the House, destroyed …McCarthy, torpedoed .. Scalise, and watched Trump shiv Tom Emmer. They bullied. harassed, and exhausted the majority, and on Wednesday they got a full-throated election denier and coup-plotter as speaker.” https://t.co/wUWMNCAayi

[Clint Smith @SmithforAZ]

Fascinating. Led by our own @RepAndyBiggsAZ and his favorite colleague, Matt Gaetz, this gang is facing the consequences of blowing up the speaker without having a replacement.

[POLITICO @politico]

The eight House Republicans who voted to oust former Speaker Kevin McCarthy made their colleagues an eye-catching offer: If GOP holdouts vote for Jim Jordan as speaker, they'd accept "censure, suspension or removal from the conference." https://t.co/aTJC3HlUBO
