      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.

      You're dodging the question. Your thread is about "muddying the waters" and yet, by innuendo, you conflated public advocacy with a private citizen's thoughts to himself. And now you're insinuating @ggreenwald supported torture?

      He supported Bush's foreign policy when tortures were going on.

      You're muddying the waters again. Accepting a pre-invasion rationale does not equate to supporting a torture regime that became public afterward. Get your timeline straight; this isn't Tenet. https://www.bookbrowse.com/excerpts/index.cfm/book_number/1812/page_number/3/how-would-a-patriot-act#excerpt …pic.twitter.com/1x3OK7rbk0

      Given the history of American militarism, torture was a certainty. Gitmo was already in place when Greenwald supported the war. That's why some of us were anti-war from day one.

          It's a bit of a reach to suggest every private citizen who agreed with the Iraq invasion should be labelled a "torture supporter." There were plenty of actual torture justifiers. Conflating them with people horrified by the Torture Memos is muddying the waters.

          Citizens have a responsibility to know the cost of wars before they support them. Being a private citizen doesn't exempt you from moral responsibility.
