Jon Favreau, the speechwriter for the former president who told his adoring fans about their neighbors, “I want you to argue with them and get in their face,” seems to be sad that conservative news sites are the top performers on Facebook right now because it’s contributing to political polarization.
Gee, what’s responsible for all the tribalism and polarization in politics? https://t.co/njYRUbm74P

You’d think one of the Obama bros would know the answer to that, but he got some suggestions anyway.

Your party’s staffers doxxing Senators barely a year after a mass assassination attempt on a baseball field? https://t.co/5UVpGhRlGV

In one week, GOP Senators were doxxed by a Dem staffer, a GOP house rep was assaulted in their office, a Senator was harassed out of a restaurant as well as ricin being sent to his office.
But cool @jonfavs blame Facebook or something.

Thankfully all of the speeches you wrote describing Republicans as anti-American hostage takers have nothing to do with it. https://t.co/GCp8hQjPCq

The political left. A democratic aide was arrested to doxxing republican senators, the left endorses violence all in the name of “resistance”. It’s literally the lefts fault that civility in politics is no longer a thing. https://t.co/AHB2yHf5bu
