The NYT can be sued if it commissions, reads, edits, and then publishes your op-ed, yes. But it cannot be sued if you write the same words in its comments section. Nor does the liability attached to those comments transfer to the Times if it responds. (1) https://twitter.com/tedcruz/status/1266376788407513093?s=20 …

  But Twitter doesn't make the editorial judgment to publish Trump -- or Adam Schiff for that matter. You keep making grade school errors here, Senator. @charleswcooke

  Does the NYT choose to publish every single op-ed or article sent to them?

  As a former Republican Congressman, let me be really clear: Every single Republican Member of Congress who does not publicly condemn Donald Trump’s call to “shoot looters” must be defeated this November. Every single gutless one of them.

  President Trump doesn't give a damn about free speech. He is simply desperate to distract from the #coronavirus victims' bodies piling up because of his malfeasance. #CoronaOutbreakpic.twitter.com/HVMR9ycySi
