I bet this gets spun as her being a Democratic plant. Most likely this was done because of what she said about Georgia and the possibility that what she said could suppress Republican turnout for the senate runoffs. She should have stuck to attacking the blue wall results and stayed away from talking about Georgia 🤪 ---

He’s not the only one. Just the latest (and bluntest) one. Not that it will save him. And (_checks new posts_) just like clockwork, the wheels on the bus go crunch crunch crunch. ---

Sidney released a subsequent statement indicating that she agrees with Giuliani’s remark, and that she’s independently doing this all for (hashtag) we the people. Well, not _this_ person, thank you very much. ---
