      1. The usual contrarian clowns -- specifically Greenwald and Fang -- are trying to muddy the waters on the Liz Cheney business, so it's worth spelling out why Bernie is right.pic.twitter.com/3D4pnzB4CC

      2. You can easily believe, as I do, that Liz Cheney is wrong about nearly everything but that she's right to oppose Trump's attempts (which are ongoing) to overturn the 2020 election results & subvert American democracy.

      3. Saying that Cheney is right about Trumpian authoritarianism and using her as a wedge to divide GOP does not entail supporting anything else Cheney believes. To suggest otherwise like the numbskull argument that being a vegetarian means supporting Hitler.

      4. It's especially rich for Glenn fucking Greenwald to accuse Sanders of rehabilitating Bush-Cheney since by his own admission when Iraq war launched Greenwald believed "American security really would be enhanced by the invasion of this sovereign country."

      5. I deleted an earlier tweet that relied on a mistaken memory but the bottom line is that Bernie Sanders has a spotless record opposing Bush/Cheney militarism. Glenn Greenwald does not. More on opposing Cheney while affirming her rightness here:https://jeetheer.substack.com/p/liz-cheney-and-the-never-trump-fantasy?r=bh54&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=email&utm_source=twitter …

          Jeet, what did Greenwald ever say or do publicly to promote Bush/Cheney militarism? What is the "spot" on his public record? (before he wrote books opposing said militarism)

          Privately supporting war crimes -- the killing of hundreds of thousands as well as torture -- is also bad.

          Yeah, even he admitted he was wrong. Jeet needs to brush up a bit before tweeting or refrain from rewriting history because he has influence.https://www.commondreams.org/news/2019/12/20/i-was-wrong-bernie-sanders-admits-barbara-lee-only-member-congress-2001-who-had-it?amp …

          We need folk who can function in good faith within institutions. We also need folk who don't have the constraints that come with those positions to shed light on stuff, be loud, tell people stuff that's hard to hear & to push the envelope. BS is the first type & GG is the 2nd.

          It’s just that Cheney supports this whole other authoritarianism that, you know, actually happened.

          @ggreenwald is one of the most shamelessly hypocritical and dishonestly sanctimonious figures in US journalism. There is a reason that the only people who will give him air time are Tucker Carlson, Laura Ingraham, and Glen Beck.
