1. the last one

...that's the one I retweeted.

[senseandsensibility]

2. Has she corrected her error?

[highplainsdem]

3. No. She hasn't tweeted since that screwup.

[awesomerwb1]

28. She won't

These "journalists" are so arrogant and morally corrupt that they will just throw shit out there to see what sticks. They are encouraged to do so by their bosses. There is no accountability morally or legally.

STOP WATCHING CNN, MSNBC, ETC.

15. He didn't run. Get off Twitter and read something in context.

[Renew Deal]

6. I remember Warner exploring the possibility of running in 2008

It's well documented.

[WarGamer]

9. that's not running...

[Renew Deal]

23. Depends on how you look at it.

From Biden's perspective as a 2008 candidate, he probably saw Warner as an opponent for a while. Warner was raising money and doing events, but decided to not run.

10. At a New Year's gathering in December, 2007

I was with (to drop a name or two) Norm Ornstein and Howard Dean discussing the 2008 race, when Mark Warner's name came up. Warner was making all sorts of exploratory moves, but Norm let on that Warner had a couple of teenage sons that were having some "issues" at the time, and would probably preclude Warner getting too far in any presidential race. As usual for Norm, he was right. He is not nicknamed "Washington's most quoted pundit" for nothing. Norm knows everybody in DC.

7. So Tucker Carlson's protg

Doesn't fact check. Why is anyone surprised?

[Cha]

8. Do your Homework, KC, you

Screwed up.

Shocking 😳 Not 🤮

[ecstatic]

11. That's disgusting. She should be suspended.

She has a primetime show and couldn't take 5 seconds to google first before spouting misinformation on her enormous platform?

I don't know what these people are trying to do, but no matter how much spinning for trump that they do, they will be among the first people jailed/silenced/executed if trump gets another shot in the white house. The very first time they step out of line.

They think this is a game. It's not.

[TheProle]

17. Show us how it's done.

Google Mark Warner Announces Run for Presidency.

Surely someone who ran for President made such an announcement.

Report back and show us how people can avoid embarrassing themselves with 5 seconds of googling.

[ecstatic]

19. You're battling over petty semantics now. SMH

Biden said "he also tried to get the nomination."

Warner had an exploratory committee, did some touring and campaigning nationwide, then realized that he couldn't do it.

What you're not considering is that behind the scenes, amongst Biden's former senate colleagues, the talk regarding who was running and who wasn't was more in your face as opposed to the blurbs that we end up seeing (or not seeing). So it was a nothingburger to us, but a big deal to them.

[TheProle]

20. I have no problem with Biden's comment.

He was correct in a very general way, but Collins was factually specific, and the mob trying to dunk on her are embarrassing themselves.

[ecstatic]

22. then we'll have to agree to disagree.

Skimming her profile on xitter and it's back to back negative posts about Biden. SMH. She's not someone who actually cares about facts.

[shrike3]

25. And the problem with a mob "trying to dunk on her" is a problem because?

"The mob" is behaving exactly as she and her colleagues have, and not just on this occasion. You dish it out, you better be able to take it. If it turns out she cant, too bad for her.

27. The difference between what Joe said and

Kaitlan Collins "correction" is at best pedantic. It's also petty and piling on.

[DFW]

12. At the risk of coming across as a total ignorant

Who in the world is Kaitlan Collins, anyway? Is this someone whose name should be ringing a bell with everybody?

[highplainsdem]

13. CNN news anchor, previously their WH correspondent - and before that WH correspondent for the Daily Caller.

[oasis]

18. "Daily Caller" Tucker Carlson's brainchild.

‘nuff said.

[DFW]

21. CNN hired someone from The Daily Caller?? Deliberately?

Does their CEO go into restaurants and order toxic waste for their after-dinner apéritif?

[shrike3]

26. Ah. Daily Caller.

The heck with her, then. She deserves whatever she gets.

[PortTack]

24. So...he's working on a list of ppl that want president Biden to drop out...why? Jealousy, greed, stupidity?

He hasn’t got anyone else to sign on to his nonsense!

[MOMFUDSKI]

29. Joe has always had his ear

to the ground.

30. I only get a list of twitter links
