Darrell Issa’s Tweets

Tonight, Joe Biden made it clear that if he’s elected he’s prepared to perpetually lockdown the American people, shut the economy down again, and make sure schools stay closed. That statement alone makes it worth fighting every day between now and November 3rd.

The Mueller report may not have been drafted to exonerate President Trump and humiliate the conspiracy caucus on Capitol Hill ... But that’s exactly what it did.

President Trump is in the fight of his life as radical liberals try to derail his presidency. I want to go back to Congress to fight for his agenda. RT if you agree.

KUSI, thank you for having the journalistic integrity to meet me at my office so I could dispel the outrageous conspiracy theory my opponent is circulating about my business once and for all. Ammar has no proof for his claim, and we opened our books to a full audit.

CA has made progress bending the curve but the risk of #COVID19 is still very real. Today, Governor @GavinNewsom announced details on how CA plans to modify the Stay-At-Home order in the future. These modifications are based on science, health & data & will happen in 4 stages:
Blue graphic that reads “Stage 1: Safety and preparedness. This is where we are now. Continue to build out testing, contact tracing, PPE, and hospital surge capacity. Making essential workforce environments as safe as possible. Prepare sector-by-sector safety guidelines for expanded workforce.”
Blue graphic that reads “Stage 2: Lower Risk Workplaces. Gradually opening some lower risk workplaces with adaptations. Retail (e.g. curbside pickup), manufacturing, offices (when telework is not possible), more public spaces”
Blue graphic that reads “Stage 3: Higher Risk Workplaces. Open higher risk environments with adaptations and limits on size of gatherings. Personal care (hair and nail salons, gyms), entertainment venues (movie theaters, sports without live audiences), in-person religious services (churches, weddings)
Blue graphic that reads “Stage 4: End of Stay-At-Home Order. Re-open highest risk environments and venues once therapeutics have been developed. Concerts, convention centers, live audience sports.”

President Trump — I stand with you, just as you have stood with me from 2016 until today. The fact that poll watchers are not being allowed to adequately supervise certain recounts is completely unacceptable. This is America. Election integrity comes first.

Ammar - Antifa is an anarchist domestic terror organization. The fact you’ve refused to condemn them by name is shocking.

Don’t do that. Don’t blame America’s first black President for something that started when an innocent, unarmed black man was murdered in broad daylight in 2020. Speaking of soft line, the officer charged in Floyd’s death used fatal force before & had history of complaints. twitter.com/DarrellIssa/st…

Absurd. You want me to believe thought taking away your security clearance would erase criticism by talking heads at MSNBC? Taking away your security clearance was completely justified.
Quote Tweet
This action is part of a broader effort by Mr. Trump to suppress freedom of speech & punish critics. It should gravely worry all Americans, including intelligence professionals, about the cost of speaking out. My principles are worth far more than clearances. I will not relent. twitter.com/NBCNews/status…

Here is the full clip of Trump's "animals" comments. The CA Sheriff was lamenting not being able to report violent MS-13 gang members in her jail. Trump then called those gang members "animals." If you are an honest person who cares about facts, you must see this #FactsMatter

Why were classified documents taken by Biden from the Obama White House only just discovered 6 years later? Why was it so critical to keep their discovery a secret until now? Especially in light of the raid on Former President Trump's home, these questions need answering.

Adam - if Gen. Flynn lying to the Deep State deserves jail time, why doesn’t the FBI lying to the entire world deserve the same?
Quote Tweet
Flynn pled guilty to lying to the FBI about his illicit Russian contacts. His lies do not now become truths. This dismissal does not exonerate him. But it does incriminate Bill Barr. In the worst politicization of the Justice Department in its history.
