THREAD: One female toting a glock around to look tough w racists having just gotten a GED w a multi-page rap sheet & an assist to insurrection. Another female w an assault rifle to appear powerful spouting nonsense Q Anon theories while defiling congressional chambers 1/
by refusing to acknowledge a pandemic & protect her colleagues by wearing a mask. Then there’s Marsha Blackburn who doesn’t believe women want to be paid as much as men (as a lawyer I can confirm this is BS). What is happening here? Where is the quality? Where is the education 2/
teaching about morals, ethics, equality, accountability & fair play? Then there’s *this* woman who graduated cum laude w 2 majors in 3.5 yrs/got the class award for my politics major/dean’s list/scholarship, etc. Law school grad/2 bar exams/2 ethics exams/licensed in 3 states 3/
w 1 retired. Studied during my first summer of law school @UniofOxford & managed tremendous personal loss & illness. Published author, contributor to a major publication, interned w a senator and congressman in college & law school, survived sexual assault by a boss & now the 4/
sole attorney for a major national organization. Have studied the intersection of crime & politics since I was 18. Can also drive a race car.

It’s past time we elevate our standards for those we elect to represent us in the most important decisions affecting our every day 5/
lives. Don’t get me started on the boys.

RAISE. THE. BAR.

NOW. Or we tread in quicksand.
