We haven’t forgotten the 2000 election

I worked on the Bush campaign in 2000 and was chief strategist in 2004. Not counting all the votes in Florida in 2000 was a grave injustice and caused many to question the legitimacy of Bush election. Let us not repeat that injustice in FL and AZ this year. Count all the votes.

Republicans illegally purged 12,000 people from voter rolls in Florida 2000, which made George W. Bush president (in addition to SCOTUS). Then Rick Scott used felon disenfranchisement law to preserve GOP power in state https://t.co/B0osjjO4Ab

Florida GOP's history of voter suppression:

Illegally purged 12,000 voters in 2000

7 hour lines in 2012

Shut down voter registration drives

Disenfranchised 1.6 million ex-felons

15k absentee ballots rejected in 2018

We know which party trying to steal election

More than 50 lawsuits were filed in the month following the 2000 presidential election. Likewise, in the week since the 2018 midterms, the number has quickly multiplied. https://t.co/giHvJFiEMj

The NRA doesn’t care about the black security guard in Chicago who was killed

It doesn’t seem that they defend black people who legally use guns. This man was a hero.

CNN was wrong

In their effort to be even-handed, CNN asked voters about extremist violence without pointing out that the great bulk of it is by right-wing extremists. Left wing extremists attack Tucker Carlson’s house. Right wing extremists kill people (such as the recent killings in Pittsburgh and Kentucky and the bombs).

I understand that they want to be fair but this is very misleading. The screen print above is from my iPhone.

Trump’s first reaction to California fires is to attack

That’s all he knows how to do.

First, my sympathy goes out to the victims and their families and my admiration goes out to the first responders. Trump’s initial tweet was vindictive but someone must have told him that he needed to do better because the second one was more appropriate. Of course, he’ll never acknowledge the impact of climate change on the frequency and size of the fires.

At least nine people dead, hundreds of homes destroyed, hundreds of thousands of people evacuated, terror from mountains to the sea. The president’s first tweet about the California fires misstates the cause of all the awful destruction to blame the state: https://t.co/NIvNe3dCBr

From @CAFirefighters Pres. Brian Rice: "The president's attack is ill-informed, ill-timed and demeaning to victims and to our #firefighters on the front lines. #CA fire victims need support instead of recrimination and blame." Full statement HERE: https://t.co/femcjxC0PY https://t.co/tQHtqiWZEB

Some follow-up data: Nearly 60 percent of CA's 33 million acres of forests are owned by fed gov, ~25 percent privately owned, and ~14 percent owned by industrial owners like timber companies. State and local govts own 3 percent of the state's forests. https://t.co/sCvffE1gD7 …

No respect is due. Thousands of AMERICANS evacuated from their homes, many burned to the ground and our "President" points his little finger in the wrong direction to settle scores #ClimateChangeIsReal https://t.co/hV0fgkXW4j

Dear @realDonaldTrump: What is wrong with you? Disaster victims deserve help & sympathy.

Oh, and guess who owns much of the forest land in CA? Your federal agencies. CA only owns 2%. Guess who cut funding to forest management in the budget? YOU DID.#SaturdayMorning Thoughts https://t.co/Es9oAOhQQc

Dear @realDonaldTrump: FYI below from a first responder. Can you please get a briefing from your staff before you write anymore nonsense about the #CaliforniaWildfires? First responders and my constituents who were evacuated would appreciate it if you knew the facts. https://t.co/VKIOv63Slo

Don’t target politicians or media members in restaurants or outside their home

Doing this just feeds into the right wing’s “mob” claim. Even Ted Cruz is entitled to eat dinner in peace.

Re Tucker Carlson: If you don't like him, what exactly is accomplished by terrorizing his family? Wouldn't something else — say, organizing a boycott of his advertisers — be a more effective means of protest?

— Karen Tumulty (@ktumulty) November 8, 2018

This is Brownshirt/fascist behavior. Period. If you defend it because Carlson’s opinions are noxious or dangerous, you’re opening the door to the “other guys” doing the same thing to you. https://t.co/4V08iiOCfa

— Jeff Greenfield (@greenfield64) November 8, 2018

Tucker Carlson is a blight on journalism and our public discourse. But addressing that reality with this tactic is disastrous for any republic, chilling to all speech including dissent, and, in the end, serves only to engender sympathy and allegiance with those targeted. https://t.co/eiC4kcNpRl

I, too, dislike what @tuckercarlson says on television, in books, etc. But this kind of doorstep intimidation is reprehensible. Please respect his family's domestic life. https://t.co/QB9nEvovdF

Fighting Tucker Carlson’s ideas is an American right. Targeting his home and terrorizing his family is an act of monstrous cowardice. Obviously don’t do this, but also, take no pleasure in it happening. Feeding monsters just makes more monsters.

The @TheDemocrats have NO affiliation with Antifa. Let me repeat, NO affiliation with Antifa. Far Left mob, the Far Right mob that’s infiltrated the Republican Party is the #ProudBoys.

People should not have done what they did at Tucker Carlson's house.
However…
I wrote something critical once about the calamitous CNN show hosted by TC and Bill Press. TC then shared my private e-mail with what passed for his audience. I, and my family, got death threats.

“We know where you sleep at night,” they chanted outside Tucker Carlson’s home. @PeterBeinart says liberal protests targeting private lives "threaten the very norms of human decency that Trump and his supporters have done so much to erode.” https://t.co/3yXopGQhLe
