Yesterday, @POTUS called the American people to rise and face a confluence of great national crises. He called the American people to a great and difficult purpose which is to endure the hardships yet to come as we crush the virus that has killed 400,000 of our fellow Americans.
. @POTUS called for us to love one another and to step back from the precipice of disunion and the cold civil war, turned briefly hot that was started by a villainous and vile disgrace who he did not need to name. He called for Unity. That call for unity was self evidently
Sincere and the crocodile tears of disingenuous GOP Senators who are reacting to the lawful exercise of his Presidential authority in rolling back Trump era actions that were decisively repudiated in November is laughable. Let us consider unity for a moment. @potus called for
National unity which doesn’t mean kowtowing to a cynical faction of GOP members of Congress who have proven their stupendous bad faith and insincerity thousands of times over. Joe Biden won the election and D’s control Congress. If there is to be unity let it form around two

Submission to a collective amnesia about the cause of the catastrophe we face as a nation. They seem to demand that we submit to an alternate reality where Trump suceeded and his actions should be enshrined as opposed to erased. Their definition of unity seems to be built on

submission to the losers of an election by the winners. Unity in this country will be achieved through finding shared purpose in the name of the common good. @potus has made clear that his hand is open and he has extended it in good faith. Unity does not impose a requirement
Of naïveté or weakness on the part of the Administration more Americans voted for than any other in the history of the United States. That @SenTedCruz attended the inauguration is not testament to his good faith; it is evidence of his shamelessness, capacity for deceit,
Sociopathy and cynicism. The President must act because we are beset by crises. Those actions should not be slowed in the name of the false definition of unity that many Republicans are trying to cynically establish. Elections have consequences. Unity doesn’t mean unconditional
Surrender by the majority to the minority. @ProjectLincoln
