And while I have you here:

2. This is a MASSIVE indictment of the NC Dems’ lack of oppo research. I can’t stress how EASY this info was to find and verify. Dude had used this same user name across multiple internet sites for close to 20 years. Any motivated techie could have found this in a short time. 2/5

4. It’s an insult to my intelligence that @NCGOP is doubling down on Robinson’s “it wasn’t me” Shaggy defense. If you want to distract with “focus on the issues, not the person,” that’s your prerogative, but miss me with “he has denied the allegations.” 4/5

This I truly don’t understand. Seems like news to me. I’m sure if Harris or Walz (or Biden) posted something close to this, it would headline every paper and broadcast in the country. But it’s “just Trump,” so…. 🦗 🦗
