#3 in house GOP leadership, Rep. @EliseStefanik pushed 'replacement theory' that inspired Buffalo shooter. Got free ride in media https://signorile.substack.com/p/elise-stefanik-pushed-replacement?r=bydn&s=w&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web #mapoli #nhpolitics @GOPLeader @Liz_Cheney @Mike_Pence @thecrimson

& @TuckerCarlson on how to fuel racist, lethal violence.

Paul Waldman@paulwaldman1

In case you missed the excellent NYT analysis of Tucker Carlson's show, the racist Great Replacement theory isn't something he's mentioned a time or two.

He has pushed it on 400 SEPARATE EPISODES of his show. It's relentless.

And I'll bet you...

Gas prices continue to be at an all-time high in MA, but where is the relief from lawmakers? States like GA, MD, CT & NY have all acted to suspend the gas tax, why not MA? #mapoli #mabiz https://cbsloc.al/38phX8E
