...perhaps the quoted meme in Ms Hershey's tweet is from 2021 but, as you can see, it was not identified as so.

I'll fire my research department for sleeping on the job...

Pete stays in public office for a while, he could be president after Harris at some point.

Jen Psaki strongly implied that it was because Tesla was non union. It sounds a lot sillier if you characterize it as about tailpipe emissions rather than as about electric vehicles.

I couldn't find the actual Fox interview.

electric cars last night. "They're so heavy, they go through tires and there are bits of rubber flying off the wheels and they're going to force people to have electric cars and there's a mandate in place now and blah, blah, blah..."

He'll probably offer tailpipes as a $10,000 accessory.

for Tesla owners who want that "Muscle Car Look"

And another $20,000 for the sound.
