You can’t be pro-cop and pro-coup. @GOPLeader Kevin McCarthy and the MAGA extremists want to make the election about “law & order” because they think Democrats won’t push back in their gaslighting. Well, think again, Kevin.

Hey @realDonaldTrump , I see you sent a letter to the media asking them to silence me for “false statements.” The only one who has lied about Russia is you. If you’re so confident in your claim, sue me. You know where the courthouse is. But I don’t think you’re confident.
