Watching in real time - RW spins around itself on Twitter

[underpants]

Ohio Gov. DeWine holds a press conference this morning. During it he says that the 33 bomb threats received in Springfield are hoaxes meaning there are no bombs in schools or public buildings. He adds that these bomb threat calls are coming from overseas.

RW Twitter takes that and says that the calls are not real AND these calls that they are saying aren’t real are coming from overseas.

😜

ON EDIT - this weird twist is coming from the NY Post’s spin on it.

I can provide lots of examples of this. My “For You” feed is nothing but fringe RW’ers right now.

2. I added the origin on this. A NY Post spin.

3. Hmmm now that you mention it

The Hill link mentioned that DeWine didn’t name any countries but the article mentions Russia and Iran.

4. The governor doesn't care about Ohioans.................

he is still playing politics.

Party over his state. It's effing sad and extremely sick.

5. So a bomb threat that causes an evacuation of a school, business, or government office is a "hoax"?

That sounds pretty dismissive of a real problem that is shutting down the town. Would you send your kid off to a school that is receiving multiple bomb threats every day? Would you go to work if your workplace was receiving bomb threats?

It is not a "hoax". It is political terrorism. It is a coordinated effort by Republican leaders to scare the shit out of people so that they will flock to "the strong man" for support.

If you got phone calls every day threatening to kill your family members, would you call that a "hoax" or would you call it harassment and terrorizing?
