      You were responding to Carter's tweets but ignoring the Tapper tweets he linked to, which clear quote moderate Dems (off-the-record!) trash talking the Squad. I think that's a problem. Don't you?

      Tapper’s tweet was about her CoS! Is this how you work w texts? It was a tweet about her CoS. Carter highlighted it as some window in to Dems. I engaged the assumption that her CoS wasn’t behaving all norms of Capitol Hill. That assumption is ridiculous.

      Tapper's tweet was part of a thread. Are you okay with the way in the rest of the thread these centrist Dems attacked the Squad (days after he told them to go back to where they came from and the same day as a hate rally)? Are you cool with this?

      So you’re upset with Carter for only linking to and commenting on just one of that thread, right? That’s a silly argument.

      My criticism is that Trump has launched a multi-day racist attack on four Democratic congresswomen and you are obsessed with firing a CoS. That suggests a lack of perspective.

      Weren't you posting earlier about how Pelosi should get younger surrogates? How's that fit in to the standard you're proposing here?

      The standard can be: Dems should unify, this is important, no distractions. But then firing the CoS is correct and necessary.

      Firing CoS isn't about unity, it's about domination.

      It’s what AOC would do if she were acting in her own self-interest. Look, evidently you don’t know much about Capitol Hill. That’s fine. But it makes me wonder why you’re arguing as if you do.

      Would firing the staffer who sent the tweet from the House Dems’ account also be domination? Because I A. Think that staffer probably should be fired B. Think it’s likely that staffer has or will be fired, & it would be consistent with how Congressional offices operate.

      I'm not in favor of firing anyone. What I'd like to see is Dems unite to oppose Trump's racism. Unfortunately, some moderate Dems are indicating they don't want to join that fight. See here:https://twitter.com/ThePlumLineGS/status/1151597065341939712 …

      Some moderate Ds are getting skittish about confronting Trump's racism. They think too much time is being spent on it. That's outrageous. If this isn't a fight they *want* to have, they should ask themselves what the heck they're doing there.

          The House Dem account tweet was confirmed to have been a planned event, not impulsive. Hakeem Jeffries has authority over the account. He wouldn’t do it without Pelosi’s okay. It was RTed by Pelosi’s CoS. All as part of Pelosi’s campaign to bring these congresswomen to heel.

          a) No one should ever be fired? Ever? ii) did we just memory hole yesterday when the Democratic House unanimously voted to condemn Trump's racism? Like literally?

          Correct. They did do that. And it was purely symbolic, not an actual check on his powers. The reason he’s doing that and talking like that is because no real oversight is being done and he’s feeling himself. Whatever investigations they are doing ain’t cutting it
