tices it and then everybody puts it on the news. Nothing like that is happening. When it comes to politics, they decide what the news is. It's literally just a decision by people who want to manage the public. And they've decided that this is not a big story that Twitter was being influenced directly and personally and in an ongoing way by the United Nations to make sure the messaging was compatib…

And so that was a two-level excellent tweet by Cernovich because it really gets to something deeper than just the news.
All right. Tim Ryan running for Ohio senate had to have this statement to say in public. He said, imagine if JD Vance was your teenage kid and you caught him hanging around with people like Marjorie Taylor Greene, Ron DeSantis, and Alex Jones. To which I tweeted, imagine being a Democrat candidate one day before election day because I didn't know what day it was. And the best argument you have is that your opponent values diversity. That's his argument. My opponent values diverse people. Because here's what he didn't say. He didn't say JD Vance refuses to meet with Black people. He didn't say that because I assume that JD Vance has met with all of his constituents. But he's also meeting with some people who have opinions that Tim Ryan does not share. So he's actually criticizing. I mean this is how empty, this is how empty their entire approach is. The Democrats, they are so empty that this close to election, a strong approach is that JD Vance values diverse opinions. Because that's what I heard. I didn't hear JD Vance agrees with Marjorie Taylor Greene on all things. Did you hear that? Nobody's even claiming that. What I didn't hear is JD Vance agrees with all the things that Alex Jones has said. I've never heard of that because I'm sure he doesn't, right?
If you're interacting with people who have different opinions but not adopting them, you're doing what we want you to do. Do you want a politician who doesn't interact with people who have different opinions? I mean this is the craziest, weakest, emptiest attack I've ever seen. But even more than that, I'm going a little hard on it because about once a year or maybe twice a year I have to say this in public. And so I'm going to say it again. I assert my complete right to associate with anybody I want. And when you don't like it, you, and that's the end of the conversation. I'm not going to adopt the views of any bad people necessarily. It might, but that's not why that happens. I interact with people you don't like. And if you don't like that, you, and there's nothing else to say. Would you agree there's nothing else to the conversation? This is one of those conversations where that's the whole argument. It's the whole argument. There's nothing else. I have no nuance to add to that. Just you. That's it. You. I'm going to associate with whoever I want, whenever I want, right in front of you. Don't care.
To make my point, watch me prove my point with a segue that was probably create

d in heaven it's so amazing. Adam Kinzinger is right about this. So there you go, Adam Kinzinger. Somebody that I would not agree with normally. But I associate with his following comments because if you don't like me associating and agreeing with Adam Kinzinger on a specific policy, you, but I know you don't. I don't know, none of you have that problem I'm sure. But here he is being right about s…
