Ted Lieu just nailed it
From day one, Congressman Ted Lieu never hesitated to speak out against Donald Trump. Recently, Lieu has made a very important point of calling out the worsening racism and violence against Asian Americans.
Now Ted Lieu is turning his attention to the ongoing domestic terrorist threat against the United States. Trump is finished, and clowns like the My Pillow guy are self destructing. But their words are still dangerous, and Lieu just spelled out why:
The problem is not that Mike Lindell says crazy, stupid stuff. The problem is that there are violent pro Trump supporters who believe this, egged on by @GOP leaders who lie about the election being stolen. That’s why National Guard troops in body armor are still at our Capitol. https://t.co/frszcA6Vpr

Ted Lieu is also emphasizing the importance of not hanging on Former Guy’s every word. Lieu posted this tweet to that end: “Today the former President issued a lengthy statement filled with lies. Very few people cared. Fewer people even read it (as a public service I read his delusional statements so you don’t have to). What a lovely feeling!”
