Question of the Day By Dave Boyer - The Washington Times - Wednesday, December 30, 2020
Walmart got into a tweet war with Sen. Josh Hawley on Wednesday when the company’s official Twitter account called the Missouri Republican a “sore loser” over the lawmaker’s pledge to object to President-elect Joseph R. Biden’s electoral college votes.
The now-deleted tweet on Walmart’s account told Mr. Hawley: “Go ahead. Get your 2 hour debate. #soreloser.”
Mr. Hawley fired back, “Thanks @Walmart for your insulting condescension. Now that you’ve insulted 75 million Americans, will you at least apologize for using slave labor?”
“I just think it’s so exciting,” the New York Democrat said. “All of these folks … they’re just so exciting as individuals and as leaders, and they don’t just represent the diversity of our caucus but the ambition of a progressive future.
“Each of these individuals, they come leading and blazing their own shooter path and their own trail, but it certainly feels a little less lonely.”
The Squad nickname began as an Instagram caption for four congresswomen elected in 2018 who embodied a new generation of Democratic leaders: Ms. Ocasio-Cortez and Reps. Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts, Ilhan Omar of Minnesota and Rashida Tlaib of Michigan.

What becomes of Times Square when you take away hundreds of thousands of cheering, shivering New Yearâs Eve revelers?
It may no longer be the âbiggest, most exciting New Yearâs Eve party on Earth.â But it may still be the nightâs biggest TV production set.
The president’s attack on Georgia’s top GOP official comes ahead of Mr. Trump’s scheduled visit to the state on Monday to campaign for Republican Sens. Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue. They face crucial runoff elections Tuesday against Democrats Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock in contests that will decide control of the U.S. Senate in 2021.
Mr. Kemp refused to get into a tit-for-tat with the president, responding at a press conference, “Let me tell you what I’ve been focused on today and I think it’s what Georgians want me to be focused on and that is making sure if they need a hospital bed, they’re going to get one.”
