Winsome's talking over Abigail is orchestrated. She doesn't want people to hear Abigail's answers - and she doesn't have any answers of her own.

Let’s call this what it is: the President of the United States directing federal prosecution for his personal political agenda.
I stand with AG James — as we all should, for the sake of our democracy.

This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system.
I am not fearful — I am fearless.
We will fight these baseless charges aggressively, and my office will continue to fiercely protect New Yorkers and their rights..

Winsome Sears is unhinged and doing her best Trump impression in this debate. Abigail Spanberger is remarkably poised and disciplined. The contrast is undeniable. Only one candidate is fit for office, Abigail Spanberger!

During the 4 years that Winsome Earle-Sears has been in office, the cost of living has gone up. No wonder she hasn’t released a plan on how she’d lower costs as Governor — she doesn’t know how.

As with Comey, the charges against Letitia James have no signature other than Trump’s handpicked personal attorney Lindsey Halligan.

Sure-Trump’s threat to revoke Rosie O’Donnell’s citizenship might be a distraction from Epstein
But he built a MAGA Supreme Court
Republicans in Congress are too cowed to fight him
And he wants to end birthright citizenship
Many of us warned he might go after citizens next
This is how it starts

Every Republican who goes on the Sunday shows tomorrow should be pressed to denounce this illegal and authoritarian proclamation from the president. And none of this "I didn't read the tweet" bullshit.

But note, this is precisely what he's doing w/Rosie O'Donnell and people are falling for his spectacle trap.
He's threatening to strip her citizenship (which he cannot do) BECAUSE she tied his policies to TX failures.
But instead of focusing ON THAT, everyone is pointing at the tweet.

Via @brianstelter.bsky.social. This is an example of what I've been trying to explain for the past decade: a dangerous demagogue like Trump is an "unaccountable leader," someone who uses rhetorical tricks to avoid being held accountable. Ask him a question and he calls you "an evil person."

You would do well to disseminate this at least as much as the Trump tweet.
He attacked her to shut up any talk of accountability for his policies.
So rather than gaping at his tweet, talk about accountability.
