Total banana republic in #ncpol right now

[Ryan Watts @ryanvwatts]

@SloanRachmuth @HarrisTeeter @kroger In a party of people seemingly in competition with one another to prove that they are the worst person in the country, I legitimately think you have a shot at winning!

Good news for you is, a plea of insanity might actually work.

[Ryan Watts @ryanvwatts]

No one blames me, as a white guy, for society’s wrongs. Quite the opposite because people see my efforts to be a part of the solution to making things better.

Perhaps the reason they blame you is because your political party has only one goal: to subjugate and take us backward.

[Dallas Woodhouse @DallasWoodhouse]

Men: Vote for who you choose. But only one political party does not blame you for all society’s wrong. The other political party only cares about men becoming something else #ncpol

[Brian Turner @BrianTurnerNC]

Nice to see a council of state candidate (@WesleyHarrisNC ) thinking beyond the beltline and brining a focus to the role state gov’t can play to help WNC recover. Unprecedented events call for unprecedented action not blindly following bureaucracy. #ncpol

You always say “it’s about policy” and that “we’re right on policy” and then can’t muster a cogent explanation on any policy of any kind.

Which is helpful because Republicans haven’t had a cogent non-culture war policy proposal since HB2, and we all know how that one ended up.

[Mark Robinson @markrobinsonNC]

If Republicans opposed radical leftists as much as they opposed each other, imagine how much more successful we would be.

Cut the intra-party crap and vote for Republicans up and down the ballot.

This isn’t about personality, it’s about policy.

@tammky @DannyEBritt @realDonaldTrump @elonmusk If you think proof amounts to words that Elon and Trump spew, then I’ve got beach front property in Antarctica to sell you

[Ryan Watts @ryanvwatts]

@tammky @DannyEBritt @realDonaldTrump @elonmusk Absolutely disproven and made up like everything else in Trump land

[NAACP @NAACP]

If I send you this it means I’m about to lie in the most articulate manner possible…

[Ryan Watts @ryanvwatts]

@Carring123 @bullydoc Insane people say insane stuff. Congrats.

[Ryan Watts @ryanvwatts]

Republicans love to pretend this is a personality fight.

Problem is, it’s a basic character contest.

They keep nominating guys who couldn’t pass the lowest of bars of basic human decency.

[Joe Biden @JoeBiden]

I want to ban assault weapons and require universal background checks.

Trump promised the NRA that he’d do nothing about guns.

And he means it.

[George Conway ⚖️🇺🇸 @gtconway3d]

He remains all of those things. The despicable attack this afternoon does not change that.

[Ryan Watts @ryanvwatts]

This is exactly it.

Folks on the right have been pushing and feeding political violence since Trump came on the scene. It’s how January 6th happened and how Paul Pelosi’s attack was mocked widely.

Democrats condemn violence no matter the source.

[Adam Parkhomenko @AdamParkhomenko]

Every Democrat in my feed is condemning political violence.

Every Republican is trying to make it worse.

[Alex Cole @acnewsitics]

Biden responded to this attack within the hour. How long did Trump take on Jan 6th?

[Carolina Forward @ForwardCarolina]

When a would-be assassin broke into Nancy Pelosi's home and badly assaulted her husband with a hammer, here's what @markrobinsonNC posted. It's still up on his profile. What's he posting tonight?

[Ryan Watts @ryanvwatts]

@JDVance1 Him being a (self-admitted) fascist doesn’t mean any rational person wanted him dead.

And don’t you dare lecture anyone. The political right has normalized this for YEARS. You’ve even encouraged it. Paul Pelosi, January 6th, etc etc etc

[Adam Parkhomenko @AdamParkhomenko]

When right-wing scum tried to kidnap Gretchen Whitmer, Republicans made excuses.

When a lunatic beat Paul Pelosi with a hammer, they made jokes.

And when Trump sent a mob to attack the Capitol, they made up lies.

Don’t lecture us about condemning violence.
