Kevin McCarthy is getting ratioed on twitter for this tweet:

[IcyPeas]

(I hope I am using the term "ratioed" correctly.) Some of these responses are really biting him in the ass.

President Biden told us he would have a plan to defeat the virus on day 1. He just never told us that it would be to give the vaccine to terrorists before most Americans.

1. what is he even referring to?

Is there something specific or is he just throwin shit at the wall again?

[lamp_shade]

2. That's my question to.

[IcyPeas]

4. prisoners at Gitmo were going to be vaccinated - this is what he is referring to

[lamp_shade]

11. Thank you.

[George II]

13. It was never a firm plan, and now has been paused. Even if they did, McCarthy is whining....

....because the Biden Administration wants to protect those who are guarding those prisoners?

The funny thing is that must have been in the republican talking points memo this morning. He, Bobbinheadbert, Greene, Junior, and others have all been griping about it today.

[IcyPeas]

26. Only 40 detainees remain at Gitmo

Give them the damn vaccine.

[Grins]

14. Why don't they give them fair trials and conclude Bush's worldwide embarrassment?

How many years...? 17?

[plimsoll]

22. Probably because they can't at this point.

[Lucky Luciano]

16. Have the insurrectionists already been sent to Gitmo?

[Cha]

21. Oh TY. McCarthy only Supports Domestic

Deadly Terrorists Attacks on our Capitol Building... Fucking Idiot.

[JI7]

25. So he has a problem with protecting US Soldiers from those they come into contact with ?

[atreides1]

3. From now on

We must call McCarthy, Reek!!!

[LuvLoogie]

5. There is a plan to vaccinate the detainees at Gitmo.

None have been vaccinated yet.

[MustLoveBeagles]

6. He's acting like another notorious politician named McCarthy

[AnotherMother4Peace]

7. Did trump tell him to tweet that? Kinda sounds like it. Two idiots one stupid tweet.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

8. Behold the new McCarthyism of the Radical Republican Reich!

[IcyPeas]

9. reply from David Plouffe:

Cruz, Hawley and McCarthy must have gotten their second shots today.

10. McCarthy got his vaccination

So, I guess there is some truth to his comment. Isn't inciting terrorists kind of the same as being a terrorist?

[plimsoll]

23. The UK and the US to some extent considered Sinn Fein terrorists.

Granted ones with clean hands, but the public face of IRA none the less.

Kind of like the GOP and Proud Boys, Oath Keepers, KKK, and the bevy of Neo Nazi's.

[marble falls]

12. I agree with McCarthy ...

The terrorists that invaded the Capitol should be last in line.

[ananda]

15. Neologism for me.

ratio -- verb -- to flood (a tweet or its author) with negative replies such that commenters as a group take control of the momentum and message away from the original poster:

[IcyPeas]

20. thanks.

[Mr.Bill]

17. People never stop to think that whatever conditions you create

in a prison, like a contagious disease, extreme heat or cold, odors, etc., the guards have to work in those conditions.

[bucolic_frolic]

18. Just think of McCarthy as a hedge fund

short his nonsense

[BobTheSubgenius]

19. Glad to see Brian Tyler Cohen mixing it up a little.

I enjoy most of his Web work, and his heart is in the right place.

[Lock him up.]

24. That traitor got the plan to protect the guards (US troops) from COVID suspended.

Lock him up.
