Worse, when they went to explain themselves, the Republicans disregarded decades of Commission precedent, governing law, legal logic, and the interests of the United States.

Their misrepresentations demanded a direct response, and they’re getting one:https://t.co/K5pFsxK2H8 pic.twitter.com/POFpbRmujg

This is the result of a coordinated, deliberate campaign by the right - including Trump’s operation - to undermine Ukraine. This isn’t just happening on its own. https://t.co/jh45pTgPqo

perfect timing, great evidence that the Trumpie types are not loyal Republicans, not at all, can turn on a dime - even without Trump, they are just as highly suspicious of anyone that's a professional politician, it's all populism -

“The anti-antis aren’t pushing Pence or Kemp because they know neither Pence nor Kemp can be the future of the party…They know Republican voters want the coup and don’t want thoughts and prayers for Democrats who’ve been targets of political violence.”https://t.co/qpo7D4tmLq

Got me thinking they have a bigger problem than Dems. All Dems need is a few Sister Souljah moments here and there and a James Clyburn type telling the lefties to sit down and shut up once in a while, and a large coalition would still stay together, a non-passionate 'big tent' as it were. But the GOP has a huge number of angry passionate Trumpie voters and activists that many of their politicians have to pretend they agree with. They are the ones who need a breakdown of the system into more parties that the Dems do; they can't play charades forever, when in power and doing stuff, they''ll eventually end up angering one side or another.

Something like that is actually playing out in the UK right now - a majority is fed up with the Tories because it was all strings and mirrors...

Hate and violence in politics cannot continue to be tolerated. In 2008, John McCain showed us that you can maintain dignity and respect for your political opponents despite having disagreements. We should all take a moment to rewatch this video today. pic.twitter.com/WBLJ1eoNHa

Fabricated graphic on House

Fabricated graphic on House Republicans' Commitment to America plan misrepresents GOP policy, fact-checkers report @ Twitter.com, Oct. 25

A fabricated graphic is circulating online purporting to show policy points published by House Republicans. The contents of the graphic do not match the party's policies and goals outlined in the Commitment to America plan released in September, which aims to support the nation’s energy industry, fight crime and combat illegal immigration ahead of the upcoming elections, according to the Associated Press.

A post that distorts the House Republicans’ “Commitment to America” plan has been circulating on Twitter, with some users thinking it reflects official GOP policy. Here are the facts. https://t.co/vUsA6ejqxO
— AP Fact Check (@APFactCheck) October 25, 2022

"The image shows policies that don’t match the language in House Republicans’ actual plan. While Republicans lawmakers have suggested raising the age for Medicare, the Commitment to America does not give a specific age, and there is no evidence of lawmakers proposing other policies as worded in the graphic." — The Associated Press

"A Google advanced search did not find any source of the graphic, and instead showed iterations of the image shared via meme sites. Archived versions of the ‘Commitment to America’ website similarly did not reveal the image on the site." "'Those are fabricated images with false information,' Mark Bednar, Director of Strategic Communications, and spokesperson for House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy told Reuters." — Reuters

House Republicans released the Commitment to America plan on September 23 ahead of the midterms

On Friday, House Republicans outlined their vision for the country if they re-take the majority after the midterms.

Going by this Washington Post data, it actually looks Republicans have spent *much* more on crime messaging than inflation:
