@foxnewspolitics No, "the bigger story" actually is why Fox and the Right are framing a candidate choosing not to address a baseless and partisan conspiracy theory as somehow being suspicious rather than a desire not to waste his time or to extend the time the absurd fabrication is making news.

The clock is running. Thus far 1/11th of a Scaramucci.

@RepLuna Tip: You're being called a puppet and a shill for demanding that an invaded country should enter into a dialogue to cede territory to the country that invaded them to end a war they never started.

@mycatsmom99 @atrupar The whole job of WH Press Sec'y is to be a good public speaker who's able to think on your feet, so personally I'm not very sympathetic to "it's her first day, it isn't easy to speak in public for the first time." If you're not qualified to perform a job, you shouldn't accept it.

[Jophan @MotekJG]

@Lawyeredup1 @atrupar Nope. If you're not qualified to perform a job - especially a high-profile job that requires you to be the public face of the current administration, be familiar with current events, and be a good public speaker who's able to think on your feet - you shouldn't accept it.

[Jophan @MotekJG]

@Lawyeredup1 @atrupar Sorry but if you're a public figure in a public role, public evaluations of your performance come with the territory. And the reactions to this unqualified disaster are unrelated to "political disagreements": anyone from either party doing this badly would get scathing reviews.

[Jophan @MotekJG]

@Lawyeredup1 @atrupar "First day on the job, cut her some slack" would be apt if Zacharia were a standard public official having to front the media. But the role for which she was hired was specifically to do that. Your tips are all things she should have known *before* appearing in the WH press room.

@TheMaineWonk @nicksortor @RheinAmacher In addition, just found out a friend is an attending physician at the Ohio facility at the center of the Talarico smear campaign. He says that the residential units are congregate living spaces with group meals, etc. Other patients would have known if he were a patient there.

@RudeOnion "Kirk getting publicly executed"?!?!? Do you... do you seriously not see the difference between a single individual shooting Charlie Kirk for his own personal reasons and the government choosing to livestream someone's legally ordered execution?

@ArmandDoma Local and state elections are different than national federal elections. Sadly, in the current political climate, Black, Jewish, female, or gay candidates are likely not electable on a national scale. We've clearly seen that electorate favor white Christian male politicians.
