THREAD: Today on #CNNSotu
trump’s lawyer said “WhatTrump didn’t do is direct Vice President Pence to do anything. He asked him in an aspirational way.” lol

Since he was being “aspirational”, I’ve put some of what he said to Pence that day on motivational posters.

Enjoy 1/

@ashleyrallison gets it right, offers the correct framing in contrast to @alicetweet bad faith mischaracterization of the Vice President; [Kamala Harris] is taking it outside D.C. She is done with us, the pundits class and she's going to the people who actually elected her.

"I'm not going to debate Ron DeSantis on slavery. There is no debate there." #cnn #cnnsotu #danabash #vp #kamalaharris

Chris Christie is correctly assessing the Russia's unprovoked attack on Ukraine. On this, Christie gets it right. #cnnsotu @DanaBashCnn #chrisChristie #Ukraine

@Mike_Pence along with Donald Trump presided over the complete shutting down of the U.S. economy and a catstrophic 400K covid deaths due to their reckless mishandling of the covid pandemic's outset.
No one --NO ONE wants to return to the dismal failed policies of Trump-Pence #cnn #cnnsotu

For all the reputation repair employed on behalf of Mike Pence, [aka 'too honest'] watching @CNN @danabashcnn Mike Pence remains a bad faith actor, a virulent partisan. A deeply dishonest man. #sotu #cnnsotu

“Late-term abortion” isn’t a thing, except in the imaginations of anti-abortion rights activists. Abortion is health care, and health care is personal. People deserve to be in charge of their own medical decisions throughout their pregnancy. Lawmakers who care more about control than health or personal freedom don’t deserve to make those decisions for you or anybody else #cnn #cnnsotu #LindseyGrahamSC

Speaker McCarthy’s silence on the 2nd anniversary of the January 6 insurrection is an insult to the Capitol police officers who saved our lives that day. It is a shameful indication of what kind of Speaker he will be.

Pat Toomey is why --the heated divisive rhetoric of the tea party in 2010 is why,-- Pat Toomey and the GOP being fast and loose with the truth, is why we have a deranged radicalized violent authoritarian Republican party..disconnected from truth and reality.
It began with you, Pat Toomey. Some of us were there. Its you, tom, The problem is you. #jaketapper #cnnsotu #pattoomey #pa
