As Twitchy reported, John Harwood shared his observation that some of the Senate Republicans who voted against more witnesses during the impeachment trial come from states that were in the Confederacy.
John deleted the tweet:
deleted a tweet because I made a tabulation mistake. 23 of 51 Senate GOP votes to block Bolton testimony came from states of the old Confederacy, not 25. apologies for the error

Seeing more and more why CNN hired John … and it ain’t good.
So he deleted the tweet because his math sucked, not because he realized how gross and pathetic it was to compare Senate Republicans to the Confederacy for voting against witnesses. It’s as if John totally missed how one-sided and biased the House proceedings were.

Or he just doesn’t care.
This is CNN we’re talking about now.
23 were from slave states: 19 from Confederate states plus 2 each from KY and MO, slave states that remained in the Union.

This is just dumb.
Beyond dumb.
And totally CNN.
Are you going to explain the significance of your genius observation?

Racism.
Duh.
Guys, have you considered… I know this sounds crazy, but hear me out… have you considered that Harwood really is just that stupid?

Fair point.
Did you mention one of them is an African American… Or nah?

That racist, Tim Scott!
Mmhmm… so clearly a vote against having witnesses in the impeachment trial means they're about to bring slavery back.
It's plain as day if you do drugs while suffering from TDS.

It's funny how this tweet of yours is just as moronic after your correction as the other one was before.

Don’t worry, CNN is used to lies. You’re job will be fine

That’s the only reason you deleted?!

He’s not the brightest crayon in the box.
There are only 22 senators from the old Confederacy, and three of them are Democrats.

Don't worry, your new employer doesn't pay you to be accurate. All you have to do is be yourself: a dedicated leftist.
