President Joe Biden gave a “voting rights” speech in Atlanta this week that even Never Trumpers were calling “unbelievably inflammatory.” Biden threw down the race card and said senators could either stand with Dr. Martin Luther King or George Wallace.
As Twitchy reported earlier, Sen. Krysten Sinema unapologetically pounded the final nails into the Democrats’ nuke-the-filibuster coffin Thursday with a floor speech in which she made more than clear — again — her support for the 60-vote threshold. We don’t know who blue-check consultant and professor Tom Watson is, but he’s exposing the “Sinema secret” — she’s a racist. It’s the laziest argument one could make so he went for it.
I'm not kidding about @kyrstensinema – it's all about race. If you're wondering what the "Sinema secret" is, that's it. Black people. There's no real mystery here. Plain old bigot. Occam's razor. The mask is off.

Are we still pretending that it’s racist to ask for photo ID at the polls?
To be blunt: @SenatorSinema chose her side – and that side is white supremacy. That's who she is. That's what defines her now.

So all Democrats were racists before they wanted to end the filibuster. Got it.

There’s video of Sen. Barack Obama making a passionate defense of the filibuster, which he now claims is a relic of Jim Crow.
Have you tried calling her racist harder?

She's not going to have sex with you, Tom.

Your understanding of Occam's Razor is…not great?

This is literally the opposite of Occam’s Razor

Please articulate in 280 characters what this has to do with white supremacy. I'm at a loss. Thank you in advance.

Have you considered applying @splcenter? Seems they make race hustling pay really well. You’d have a great future there. You would fit right in.

In November 2024 when you're asking yourself, how in the world could Trump have won again, I suggest you look to this tweet for your answer.

Maybe if Sinema sees Watson’s thread she’ll realize her internal motivations and finally change her mind on the filibuster, it’s that compelling.
