Media personalities and talking heads are not “experts.” Competent people don't get invites on MSNBC etc. Link to quoted tweetI have no idea how "experts" who predicted a supply chain recovery in 2022 continue to have jobs.

And I'm free to say it's beneath contempt. Link to quoted tweet”
Afghanistan
Boebert (R-CO-3) 01/08/2022: Twitter thread – “President Donald Trump was banned from Twitter for supposedly spreading misinformation. Interesting that Joe Biden hasn't been banned given the following: - Falsely claimed that President Trump "asserted that immigrants would quote, 'carve you up with a knife'. - Claimed the NAACP has endorsed him every time he's ran, when in fact they don't endorse. - Claimed Trump was the first racist president. - Twisted President Trump's words to make it seem as though called COVID a "new hoax". - Said "You weren't allowed to own a cannon during the Revolutionary War," You were. - Claimed he was the first person to call for invoking the Defense Production Act. He wasn't. - Mistook Michigan's COVID numbers for military toll. - Claimed that Trump could've prevented every last COVID death if he had "done his job". - Said there were no courts in session between Sep 20, 2020 & election day, when in fact there were seven scheduled before elections. - Claimed the Trump campaign asked for a list of potential SCOTUS nominees after RBG's passing, when they requested it nine days prior. - Inflated the number of clemency actions from Obama by 16,073. - Falsely claimed funding for community policing was eliminated. - Said he could send every qualified person to a four-year college in their state for $150B." - Incorrectly claimed if minimum wage was indexed to inflation it would be $20/hr - Called Kamala Harris a qualified person. We know how that one turned out. - Claimed no VA Governor has been elected when they're of the same party as the sitting president when Terry McAuliffe was elected during Obama's presidency. - Repeatedly brought up being a tractor-trailer driver when no evidence supports this. - Said the confirmation of Judge Amy Coney Barrett during an election year is "not constitutional," when it said no such thing. - Says the boilermaker union endorsed him — they didn't. - Claimed to be sending back the majority of families crossing the border illegally. - Said he could send every qualified person to a four-year college in their state for $150B." - Incorrectly claimed if minimum wage was indexed to inflation it would be $20/hr - Called Kamala Harris a qualified person. We know how that one turned out. - Claimed the 2A limited the type of people who could own a gun and what type of weapon you could own. - Claimed the cost of automobiles are back to pre-pandemic prices, they're not. - Said Al-Qaida is "gone" from Afghanistan. And, of course, claiming to been against the war in Afghanistan from the very beginning — he voted to launch the war three days after 9/11. I could go on and on forever, but you get the point. Nearly every word out of Joe Biden's mouth is a lie, just ask his buddy Corn Pop.”
Horsford (D-NV-4) 01/08/2022: Tweet – “As the war in Afghanistan came to an end, my office worked long days to bring refugees to safety.
