@VivekGRamaswamy Vivek, I’m voting for you brother but you’ve got to toughen up. Just call the story fucking ridiculous and move on.

This is obviously 100% fake, originally fabricated by a leftist blogger with mental health issues. On one hand, I really didn’t want to respond because it’s so dumb. On the other hand, it’s Exhibit A of how toxic politics works & it happens often enough that I feel some obligation to lift the curtain on how the game is played. So here goes: I’m a Cavs fan. Love going to their games, always have, I’ve been going for decades. My wife and I bought courtside tickets for Game 4 against the Knicks, and our team got smoked. It was brutal. The two of us watched the game, face in hands, in disbelief and dejection during the second half, then peaced out right after the buzzer straight to our car (accompanied by state-provided security the entire time). No, we did not stick around to watch the Knicks celebrate their romping. There is literally no amount of money on Earth you could have paid me to sit around and watch them collect their Eastern Conference trophy, let alone watch them parade off the court to their locker room. A sharp poke in the eye would’ve been more pleasant. But then, a left-wing Ohio blogger with mental health issues publishes that not only did I wait until after the ceremony, but that I lingered around & tried to enter the Knicks’ locker room after the game, and told them I wanted “welcome” them to Ohio. This is nuts! He also published other vivid details. Those were also 100% nuts. But here’s how the game is played. Ohio Democrats then repeatedly boosted the so-called “story” on social media, and the Daily Beast & others write “news” stories about it. Then hundreds of others cite the Daily Beast’s reporting and literally turn their fantasy into “truth." It’s worth observing the incentive that political opponents would have to fabricate an anonymous “tip” to a random blogger with mental issues who has absolutely no standards for publication, then to amplify the “stories” after they’re written. The whole thing is dumb, to be clear. But it’s dirty, it happens repeatedly, and the public is better off knowing about it. It’s why sane people rarely go into politics. Anyone who does should probably have their own head checked out (including me). My team sensibly told me to not to dignify it by commenting on it. Politically, they’re probably right. But if every leader were to follow that advice, it rewards the incentives for bad actors to lie not just about me, but about others in the future too. Call me idealistic, but I don’t think that’s how things are supposed to work.

@DailyDragging25 @HARRISFAULKNER White supremacy in black bodies??? lol. Seek some sort of counseling.

@HARRISFAULKNER Confederate soldiers served their country too. Didn't stop them from being racist, sexist, classist degenerates. You're a perfect example of white supremacy in Black bodies, who hypocritically won't hold the biggest bitter politician to ever occupy the White House accountable.

Congressman Schiff your weakness is showing. A real leader would take the high road on this Memorial Day weekend. Millions of Americans are honoring our men and women lost on the battlefield. And we are remembering our heroes who even tonight are risking their lives for our freedoms. LT. Colonel @TulsiGabbard currently is in the US Army Reserve. She is a combat veteran. She did 3 military tours in the Middle East and Africa. No doubt she’s leaning on her tremendous fighting spirit right now as her husband faces the health battle of a lifetime. *And you Congressman Schiff… always have the choice to consider the timing of your bitter politics and do better.

@Milajoy 29!

The average American has been to five of these cities. How many have you been to?

@VivekGRamaswamy Come on Vivek. This is something a Democrat politician could have written. Don't turn into a typical wishy washy, afraid of offending anybody politician.

Grateful that our President and the other attendees at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner are safe after tonight’s shooting. Praying for the recovery of the officer who was shot. Political violence is un-American & it needs to end.

@pdoocy @EricBurlison @SundayBriefFNC Thank you Peter! This is what they call "journalism". Well done.

We’re about to do a whole block about the missing scientists AND the delayed UAP files with a leader on both topics in congress @EricBurlison - next @SundayBriefFNC

@DrEliDavid Enjoy your soy boys Georgia

Meloni is the most pathetic world leader right now. Nobody had any expectations from Macron or Starmer, but she lied to her voters and is doing the exact opposite of what she promised.

@Keir_Starmer Bow out Neville

The ongoing closure of the Strait of Hormuz is deeply damaging. Getting global shipping moving is vital to ease cost of living pressures. The UK has convened more than 40 nations who share our aim to restore freedom of navigation. This week the UK and France will co-host a summit to advance work on a coordinated, independent, multinational plan to safeguard international shipping when the conflict ends.

@GovSherrillNJ Your next step governor is to go and try to remove the mask from an ICE Agent. Please let us know of the time and location of your brave act. 🍿🍿🍿

Los agentes de ICE bajo Donald Trump, sin capacitación, sin rendir cuentas y con el rostro cubierto, están poniendo en peligro a las personas. Por eso acabo de firmar un paquete de leyes para mantener seguras a nuestras comunidades, fortaleciendo la confianza entre las fuerzas del orden y las comunidades a las que sirven, prohibiendo que los agentes de ICE usen máscaras y protegiendo la privacidad de los residentes frente al exceso del gobierno federal. En Nueva Jersey seguimos la Constitución y defendemos el estado de derecho.

@berniemoreno We see you Bernie. Hang in there

We won’t … as long as it takes!

@ElizLanders @RapidResponse47 @POTUS Liz, well done. Straightforward news reporting. You won’t last long at pbs!

Just had a brief phone call with @potus this morning and asked him several questions about Iran. He noted when he answered that it was not a good time to chat because he was in the middle of a "very important meeting" about it - but said the following:

@KCPayTreeIt Born in Germany. Adopted by American Army parents when I was 3 days old. Returned with them to USA when I was 3 years old. Was naturalized. If you’re talking about me you’re painting with too wide a brush brother

If you were not born in the United States of America, you should never be able to hold a position in public office.

@FrankenforIowa Call mark Kelly. The rest of us don’t give a shit.

Pete Hegseth is emotionally ill-equipped to serve as SecDef. It is clear why his service in the National Guard was terminated.

@JohnKasich Go away please

The President has a real opportunity at the State of the Union: Bring the country together. Remind us who we are. We saw it for brief moments recently celebrating Olympic medal wins by Team USA. Politics disappeared and we were simply Americans cheering together. We need more of that.

@TVietor08 Bet you’re fun to be around

This industrial-strength douche took a private jet to Milan on the taxpayer dime to go watch hockey and get drunk. The FBI Director should have actual work to do and not treat the job like a make-a-wish fantasy camp.

@MarioBojic And cocaine

The man on the left betrayed his country and wants to ban X. Next to him is the man who is arresting people for social media posts. On the right is a man who sees himself as the next Napoleon. They all share one thing: record-low approval ratings.

@Ilhan You're insignificant.

The US oil blockade on Cuba is cruel and despotic. This is an economic war designed to suffocate an island, where innocent civilians will pay with their lives to force regime change. We must lift the blockade NOW.

@GovPritzker @GovWesMoore @GovofCO You’re so noble. 🫅 hahahahah

No way will I attend the White House dinner with this President. I’m standing with @GovWesMoore and @GovofCO — and standing against Trump’s corruption and hatred. And I’m calling on my Republican colleagues to do the same. usatoday.com/story/news/pol…

@RonFilipkowski 🥱 yawn

I’ve watched a lot of congressional hearings over the last 40 years. This performance by Bondi is the single most unprofessional, non-responsive, reprehensible and obnoxious I have ever seen from any witness who has testified before any committee of either chamber.

@still_hustling The King of the RINOS has overstayed his welcome. Go hang out with Kasich.

So they replaced the workers of Springfield with Haitians and now you can’t get rid of the Haitians because there would be no one to replace them? Make it make sense Ohio.

@ThomasMHern Embarrassing

"If you look at Ohio's growth just one more statistic. Over half that growth has come from [Haitian and Somali] immigrants." Ohio Governor Mike DeWine brags about importing third world migrants for cheap labor into Springfield. The worst Republican Governor in America.
