    Jeet Heer Retweeted Andrew Yang 🧢 ⬆️ 🇺🇸

    Until very recently, most Americans were taught a fundamentally false version of the story of Andrew Johnson's presidency & Reconstruction. The legacy of that still shapes people like Yang.https://twitter.com/AndrewYang/status/1513492038595092482 …

    Jeet Heer added,

    Andrew Yang 🧢 ⬆️ 🇺🇸Verified account @AndrewYang
    Lincoln won the presidency on the brand new Republican ticket in 1860 with 39.8% in a four-way race. He took a Democrat, Andrew Johnson as his running mate in 1864.

        Also the Republican ticket wasn't new in 1860.

        When andrew Johnson ran for re-election, he travelled town to town delivering the same five minute speech about defending the constitution. Newspapers would print it in town the day before, and he was so hated crowds would recite it one line ahead of him.

        He took on Johnson because Johnson was the only southern democratic senator who didn’t secede and was temporarily in charge of Tennessee after it was recaptured. So choosing him showed a willingness to accept the south back into the union, from my general understanding.

        His tweet should boost sales of my "MYTH" tie pins. It stands for "Make Yang Think Harder."

        You assume he knows *anything* about the politics of the men involved besides their party affiliations
