Rep. Richard Neal Fears the Power of a 'Tweet From Someone Who Has No Official Portfolio'

Twitter

Remember when Elon Musk was making moves to purchase Twitter, and everyone said he'd run it into the ground? That didn't happen. He opened up the platform to free speech, and ordinary Americans made themselves heard. This displeases Democratic Rep. Richard Neal, who can't imagine what the next two years are going to be like if an individual who has no official portfolio can change policy with a mean tweet, seems worried.

… works its will and then there's a tweet from an individual who has no official portfolio, who threatens members on the Republican side with a primary and they succumb?"

An individual who has no official portfolio … does he mean like a constituent? And what about people threatening members of Congress with primaries if they don't represent what the people voted for and want change? Can you imagine?
