This is straight up slander from Chris Cillizza. We laugh at how dumb Cillizza is because he’s truly dumb. But we also forget that shit like this defines narratives. It’s Warren right now but this will be Biden if he’s the nominee in September. This brand of journalism is bad.

he (and many others) just parses whatever somebody says and spins it so it seems to mean something it wasn't intended to mean. But he's got a story.

His role is to depress votes for Democrats period, even if he enjoys hitting at women more. Probably frustration because going after AA, Jews, etc., is comparatively dangerous.

Only Sanders' comments have disappointed me, by ignoring the character and murderous history of Qasem Soleimani while condemning the assassination.

The second post eliminates any suggestion that Solemani was guilty of any deaths. That's a significant shift, which appears to be an attempt to synchronize her message with that of Sanders.

Soleimani "a murderer, responsible for the deaths of thousands, including hundreds of Americans."

Warren did not walk that back, as far as I tell.

she writes about the current situation in Iran it means she has shifted her position on war with Iran?

Huh?

Has that bar been set for every candidate? They must begin every post with a reference to Soleimani being a murderous military leader? Have you checked them all?

and they pretty much follow the same pattern....acknowledge in first post that Soleimani was murderous, while next posts only focused on Trump’s reckless decision that would likely lead to war.

Her comments about Trump’s recklessness aren’t far from anyone else’s, but, only hers are disingenuous because......it serves someone to say so.

Aren't you saying that because she didn't say everything in one tweet she is denying another tweet of hers?

Reactions are often multi-level and the best reactions often come after significant thought.

Does a person have begin every tweet, every post, every interview with the statement that Solemani is guilty?
