Trying hard to process the meaning of this tweet. If a senator pondering aloud whether to call a witness “comrade” because she grew up in the former Soviet Union is not “red baiting” what would be? You can say you’re fine with that, but you can’t say it isn’t what it is.https://twitter.com/baseballcrank/status/1470946530240737281 …

But seriously, I’m trying to even understand it on its own terms. Ok, the phrase in
@joshtpm was “smear” not “red bait”—but that’s even worse! What’s the claim here—that trying to allege a nominee with her biography is a lifelong communist isn’t utterly demagogic and grotesque? -
No, it's the fact that it's preposterous, knowingly false revisionist history to claim that her nomination was sunk for any reason other than her actual ideas. Next time, read the link.
