Senate, what we might call a road to damascus moment, but i do believe this, they have to be given the opportunity to do the right thing. i mentioned, and i dont want to beat this to death, but slavery was a crime against humanity, and we never resolved that issue. and now we are finding that people are weaponizing its invidious sion, hate and racism. and with that racism being weaponized, we are seeing other candidates starting to do it now. i regret what ms. haley has said about the confederat...

Its own. books have been weaponized, it is a signifier of what you are about. you know i love michael steel still being outraged about things in his party. trump owns the dnc, it is not surprising that they bought the books in bulk. the other aspect of the promotion were much more effective. it is like pouring miracle grow on your seedling to get the bulk sales out there and you begin to climb on that list and viola, there he is. >> this certainly not only helps the president and his reelection ...

To paraphrase the talking heads, david burn, you may find yourself in another part of the world and you may ask yourself, well, how did i get here? thats what we all want to know. we got to this other part of the world because of this plot, a plot that began with this serious information propaganda and was super sized and weaponized, this is important, by the current president, by his top advisers and was allegedly deployed through the arm and power of the u.s. government. thats a big deal. demo...

Twitter is going to say the same thing for retweeting. you can pay to promote tweets. this is really a change in the dynamic of how we consume the media. television you get content, news maybe if you are watching a news station and an advertisement. on social media the lines between all of that is blurry. i think thats where the concern comes in here. so the senate majority leader has an interesting point. i wouldnt say its twitter picking winners and looseers but twitter saying we want out. we ...

Republicans will say lets hear from the whistle-blower. lets bring this mysterious person in front of the cameras and democrats will say no and republicans will say, see, this is a sham. this is not due process. and the other thing adjunct to the rules is that jerry nadler, the judiciary committee chairman, can shut down trumps lawyers. not let them cross-examine witnesses if trump continues to instruct the exec tutive branch not to cooperate with the process. not to come and testify. and so tha...

How everything about politics is changing with technology is something that millennials on both sides of the aisle are very aware of. thats one of the things i take from this tweet. that republican millennials, too, understand just how much digital information can be weaponized. and i think gaetz is partially right on this, because katie hill did allegedly have -- admitted to having one affair with a subordinate, allegedly another one but she denied it. neither have come forward to allege abuse,...

And specifically the world here in washington, the world of politics, how will everyone else adjust to this issue of millennials and photos? >> i think its something thats going to be, going to continue to unfold and theres ultimately going to have to be a reckoning at some point with this, because,s listen, this is a generation that grew up right when facebook was just beginning to become something that young people were using to document their lives. right? that means that there are some peopl...

Female staffer of her weaponized and used to try to destroy me and the community ive loved. >> reporter: tabloids publishing nude pictures of hill and the campaign staffer online >> some call this electric assault, digital exploitation and some call it revenge porn hill blames political operatives and her estranged husband for the leak >> enabling and perpetuating my husbands abuse by providing him a platform is disgusting and unforgiveable. >> reporter: her husbands attorney did not respond to ...

Looking at quite a big launching pad for those ideas. i dont know exactly what changed, but we know that something did. and its hard to know if its exactly something that katie hill or an outside force -- but in this letter that she has given out on her twitter feed its that she didnt want to suffer anymore. she was having these private photos of personal moments, she writes, weaponized against me. and she calls it an appalling invasion of my privacy, that it is illegal. and what i can tell you,...
