Has the new Trump Coalition gotten a little full of itself, and degenerated into everyone’s favorite pasttime: Making a list of people to invite to the party and then crossing some of them off? Just asking!

What does @realchrisrufo have against @billmaher? And who says Maher wants to join the Trump “new coalition” anyway? https://t.co/ut6W67hwo9 Whole attack on “reasonable centrists” seems weak and a bit pointless.

Nobody wants to talk about sects: Has the Tulsi/Science of Identity issue even come up in her hearings (I haven’t watched)? Or is it a new, open form of undernews: The press can discreetly report about it, people can talk about it–everyone except politicians, at least in public.

I’d say it reflects either total lack of creativity [Potomac Square Group could have given her 5 better answers] or perhaps … troubling deference to her guru dev, except that even Butler must know its a terrible answer. I guess she figures it got her this far …

Tulsi Gabbard’s had decades to come up with a better way to calm fears that she’ll be bossed by her guru dev, Chris Butler, than to label them “Hinduphobic smears.” She seems to have failed. It’s a terrible answer, like dismissing legit questions as “racist.” [links below]

TWEETS I NEVER SEE ON X: ‘RFK JR.-he’s a mixed bag. Deeply worrying personal flaws, excess vax paranoia, but a lot of what he says (about food supply) is timely & supported by left & right. Doesn’t know Medicaid. But guy he’s replacing (Becerra) was a dud. Eh, give him a shot’

This is why, I think, the press has been reluctant ro bring up Tulsi’s cultish background–it only seems less unconstituional–and therefore fair game–when it involves “pyramid schemes” and “masking [of] connections.” https://t.co/2lBGCuNYRf That reading of the ‘religious test’… https://t.co/hWVgq9ZOxM https://t.co/NpRFKbqeEt

“Attacks on Gabbard’s Hindu religious beliefs are so puerile they don’t even merit a reply.”–@charlikirk11. A sure sign they deserve a reply. The complaint isn’t that she’s a Hindu, but that she was a member of a top-down spinoff cult (Science of Identity) headed by a… https://t.co/3kAgGgeVcr
