Yesterday, I asked @JimLyonsMA why he condoned vulgarity. He did not appreciate the question and refused to talk to me. So, minutes later, I shared my thoughts about Jim with his wife, Bernadette.

“Your husband is a clown.”

Honest question: Does the @BostonGlobe always quote Black candidates and electeds verbatim like this, or just Black Republican candidates? #mapoli 🤔 https://twitter.com/MattPStout/status/1528052885250002945

.@RaylaForMA lied about #Mission5000. She paid to get on the ballot. Also, at the end of the month of April, she only had $633.63. She brags about her thousands of followers. Why could they not help her get on the ballot? Why can they not, at least, each chip in $1.00? #mapoli

At the convention, I saw the @MassGOP of 2022. Around 50% of delegates didn't show up. It is a micro to the macro issue of @JimLyonsMA. Since being Chairman all I see are Ls. We have less Republicans now than when the party started. More dems in TX than Reps here. #mapoli
