@mattmclartySD @southdakotamj I'll acknowledge that you are very, very good at trolling. I keep taking the bait. But I'm going to let you have the last word.

I'm sure it will be cranky, ignorant, and ultimately quite stupid.

[Matthew Schweich @mhschweich]

@mattmclartySD @southdakotamj I've won a statewide campaign in South Dakota (2020, Amendment A and Measure 26). Have you?

I've won seven ballot initiative campaigns in seven states. Have you?

You put "calls" in parentheses in order to suggest I'm not actually making calls. So now I'm a liar too?

[Matthew Schweich @mhschweich]

@mattmclartySD @southdakotamj No, we shall not. Spread whatever nonsense you want in this misinformation cesspoll we now call X. I'm getting back to work.

[Matthew Schweich @mhschweich]

@mattmclartySD @southdakotamj I don't know you and I don't know why you have such an axe to grind. Frankly, I don't care. I've said my piece and defended my campaign. You clearly don't know what you're talking about. Have a nice weekend. I'll be working to pass IM-29 while you do whatever it is you do. Bye.

@mattmclartySD @southdakotamj I "let" my opponents spread lies? What?

I held a press conference calling out their lies, which generated a large amount of earned media coverage.

Then I sent letters to every station airing the ad.

I did everything possible to call out their lies.

@mattmclartySD @southdakotamj We've done our best.

While you're sitting at home critiquing the work of others, I'm in the campaign office phonebanking.

Follow the advice we give to children – if you have nothing nice to say, keep it to yourself. Especially when it relates to a cause you claim to support.

@mattmclartySD @southdakotamj Hello fellow Matt,

I'm the campaign manager.

Thanks for your support, your catty put-down, and the baseless accusation that someone is cashing in on the campaign. Care to substantiate that in any way? No? I didn't think so.

Our campaign has been severely underfunded.

[Matthew Schweich @mhschweich]

So @elonmusk went from publicly smoking weed with Joe Rogan to allowing his money to be funnelled into a campaign to maintain the criminalization of cannabis in Florida.

Handcuffs or the freedom to smoke a blunt with Rogan...which is it, Elon?

@LukeNiforatos @ProtectOhioFW @aarbaer @CCVPolicy @mikesenich I've never realized such a thing because I've never done such a thing.

I'm a practitioner of pragmatic incrementalism. I've fought the industry and aligned with the industry. I do what's best for the people.

I get attacked by fringe elements including yours, but I usually win.

[Matthew Schweich @mhschweich]

@LukeNiforatos @ProtectOhioFW @aarbaer @CCVPolicy @mikesenich It's great to see that you no longer support arresting adults for personal possession of cannabis.

Your proposed policy creates the largest illicit market possible. But you'll figure that out eventually as well...

...and then you'll just be a legalization supporter.

You came to fight 80 years ago from the other side of the Atlantic to ensure our shared ideals and faith in democracy would triumph.

France will be eternally grateful.

Democrats:

Senate #1 spot = New York
Senate #2 spot = Illinois
House #1 spot = New York
House #2 spot = Massachusetts

Ever heard of a purple state?

[Matthew Schweich @mhschweich]

BOTH of the Democratic Party's Congressional leadership positions are now held by New York City politicians. This is political malpractice. Do we want to make it harder to win races? What are we doing here? Ever heard of branding?

[Matthew Schweich @mhschweich]

@FredDeutsch By "weed" I hope you don't mean another round of bills intended to undermine the medical cannabis program and make access more difficult for patients. If you do mean that, please know that we'll be ready to stop you...just as we've done for the past two years.

[Matthew Schweich @mhschweich]

And in the end, we will prevail.

[Matthew Schweich @mhschweich]

Yesterday was a sad day for many South Dakotans. Initiated Measure 27, our ballot initiative to legalize cannabis for adults 21 and over, failed at the ballot box. Many people poured their hearts and souls into this campaign.

[Matthew Schweich @mhschweich]

Throughout that time, we've conducted ourselves with integrity. We have demonstrated strength and resilience and compassion. We have fought for people who needed our help. At every turn, we have always done what we believed served the interests of the people of South Dakota.
