Eh. Even in a vacuum he's scolding new members (you can emphasize the big-tent nature of the party without doing this, I promise!), he's doing so to maintain the shitty party line on Israel policy, and is anyone in a swing district going to care about what Steny Hoyer said? At least as good a chance it gets picked up as "even senior Democrats admit their party has a problem with radicalism/antisemitism!!!" which was basically the result of the pile-on with Omar.
Yeah, you're right, I was looking at the line compared to the first tweet I guess. It's a decent line when you think about something like the coverage AOC gets compared to the other freshmen.
I assume one factor is they probably stupidly thought nobody would report anything said at AIPAC like normal. It'd be much better to use at a DNC or DNCC event or something. There's other ways to apologize to AIPAC on the down low.
Matt Taibbi going anti-anti-Trump is completely unsurprising.
He's done better than his fellow contrarian Glenn at it, he does like one anti-Trump article for every anti-anti-Trump/anti-DNC/pro-Bernie one he does. The theme of his book is how Trump's hate and methods have become normalized by everyone copying his "game" or whatever but he normally produces two crappy books for every good one so it means a good one might be coming next. I assume this one is another one of just republishing his rewritten/updated articles since it would fit the theme of his going back and forth between them in his articles lately.
Glenn's totally paranoid about his Twitter enemies being the root of all evil because he spends all day on it like all the weirdos. (See: Nintex) I have to admit I enjoy it probably more. Especially when he writes a big long article because someone he was arguing with blocked him and HE WANTS THEM TO SEE HIS ARGUMENT GOD DAMMIT. He's also really defensive about the fact he's been living in Brazil now because nobody in the U.S. cares. All it does is make me wish he somehow runs into Assimilate and they get in an argument about something like Jordan Peterson.
Taibbi still links to dumb stuff like this and calls it dumb and silly, Glenn probably calls it evidence and puts it in his dossiers:
