ChrisCillizza The 'COVID Relief Bill' Is an Expensive Bundle of Politically Motivated Giveaways. The Senate passed a $1.9 trillion COVID-19 relief bill - 10Percent of costs have to do with the pandemic, the rest is PelosiCronyCash & corrupt PelosiPayoffs.

ChrisCillizza I think Mitch is grossly underestimating the situation . Major Companies , most who make political donations are entitled to a view . This is just another example of how out of touch the Republicans . Don’t bite the hand that feeds you .

ChrisCillizza That's one opinion.

ChrisCillizza When you look at today‘s GOP, how can corporations support their platform of broken down infrastructure, no regulation, climate change deniers, vaccine deniers, pandemic deniers, racism, and to hell with the disadvantaged.

ChrisCillizza Baseball left a majority African American city to one of the whitest cities in America to play a game. Corporations are so reactionary. Think of all those black owned businesses in Atlanta that lost revenue due to baseball’s dumb move.

ChrisCillizza The Republicans are trying to shame corporations for fighting for civil rights the same way they tried to shame Kaepernick for kneeling. It will soon backfire on them.

ChrisCillizza

ChrisCillizza SenatorRomney needs to step up and take control of the whole Republican party and set an example. They're using the wrong voices in the wrong tones vs the majority of the 50 state union that is the American people. Give us something to believe in.

ChrisCillizza Turkey neck strikes again. Gobble gobble 🦃

ChrisCillizza such a playa!

ChrisCillizza Mitch is AFRAID OF LOSING CORPORATE DONATIONS!!

ChrisCillizza Help me i'm poor i just want some money please😞

ChrisCillizza We want CNN to cover the Capitol Attack and the border Crisis. Why CNN is not interested in these issues ? Do not forget, you WERE supposed to be journalists, not activists working for the leftists

ChrisCillizza Yeah. On a serious note. They are trying to get Walter Scott's...filthy, racist, killer cop Slagger's 20 yr conviction overturned. Slagger's lawyer claims he failed him in defense and they granted him a new hearing for Apr. 12. 1st judge recused himself!!!

ChrisCillizza When will this anachronistic, out of touch geezer leave

ChrisCillizza Moscow Mitch is in the same Party as Matt Gaetz, I will boycott any corporations that support them.

ChrisCillizza He is lashing out and poking angry bears with sticks. You have no idea how they'll react to being bullied by politicians who only chase the almighty dollar

ChrisCillizza 'long black cloud coming down ' Mitch.... don't matter which way the wind blows now...

ChrisCillizza Mitch just foes not get it. If the roles were reversed he wpuld be all for it

ChrisCillizza Sounds like organized crime to me! Don Mitch has an offer no can refuse.

ChrisCillizza The times where politicians used to decide everything including people’s lives has pretty much coming to an end. Between peoples marches against racism, and denouncing what is wrong, it’s time to have the Hill to listen to what people want, people want unity, security and peace.

ChrisCillizza One can imagine this old turtle will still be in the senate causing trouble 100 years from now...🤣

ChrisCillizza LeaderMcConnell you bully your caucus. You will not bully these corporations.

ChrisCillizza Is there ONE thing republicans have to offer to everyday americans? Anything? They hate the environment, workers rights, clean air, science and facts. What are they offering?

ChrisCillizza Things are changing.

ChrisCillizza In my opinion, More than 95% of CNN tweets is just to incite hatred. STOP DIVIDING THIS GREAT COUNTRY 🇺🇸

ChrisCillizza He said that his donors are 'STUPID'!

ChrisCillizza When a political party begins to make threats to their citizens because they don’t support them, that’s what I call extremism. The GOP is a far-right extremist political party. Dangerous!

ChrisCillizza Chris Cillizza? Isn't he the guy that wanted Michael Avenatti for President?🤪

ChrisCillizza But he is so wrong. What GA did was not only change how people can vote, when and where, they changed the entire voting process in the state so that if they don’t like the outcome of an election, they can now change it due to putting crap laws in effect. I am so happy MLB left.

ChrisCillizza Far left mobs? Really? Some white people really don't get racism at all. They all cry, i am not racist...look i have a friends that is...

ChrisCillizza The Georgia election law is only enhancing the legitimacy of the election because it makes it harder for the Democrats to rig the vote count in their favor. All corporations should be in favor of increasing the legitimacy of our elections.

ChrisCillizza McConnell thinks that corporations should have the same rights as a person, but that all people aren't worthy of having the same rights.

ChrisCillizza Republicans to Corporations: Shame on you, unless you donate to my campaign. Hypocrisy

ChrisCillizza Hate is the Republicans platform. Why do Americans glaze over that. The world see the hypocrisy of the Republican Party the hate that they hold towards others why America hasn't figured that out yet. I dont get it.
