Randi Weingarten Goes Mega-Karen After Twitter Community Notes Expose Lockdown Lies<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Revisionist lockdown authoritarian Randi Weingarten, president of the American Federation of Teachers, has doubled down in her campaign <\/strong>to convince everyone she was for opening<\/em> schools.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

To review – Weingarten testified to Congress late last month that she “spent every day from February on trying to get schools open,” adding “we knew that remote education was not a substitute for opening schools.”<\/p>\n

This earned Weingarten a ‘community notes’ correction on Twitter, in which users noted that she previously called attempts to reopen schools in the fall of 2020 “reckless, callous and cruel.”<\/p>\n

It was so bad that even<\/a><\/strong> <\/a>CNN <\/em>called out Weingarten<\/a>. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Politifact to the rescue!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Establishment ‘fact checker’ Politifact raced to the scene to perform triage for Weingarten by suggesting that she advocated for “advocated for tailored approaches that prioritized safety needs of individual districts, educators and students but stopped short of endorsing a full return to in-person learning all across the country.”<\/p>\n

Community notes quickly sliced through that word salad of bullshit,<\/strong> amending Weingarten’s May 2 tweet touting the Politifact ‘correction’ to the record. Weingarten also turned off replies<\/strong> for anyone that doesn’t follow her. Both stunning and brave, we know.<\/p>\n

Weingarten tripled down<\/strong>, tweeting: “What\u2019s false is the community note, not @PolitiFact.”<\/p>\n

Of course, still no answer for why her union aggressively pushed for lockdowns at the local level<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\n

She just needs to add another note to clarify previous statements, endorsing them or not.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t understand her issue. \ud83e\udd37\ud83c\udffd\u200d\u2640\ufe0f<\/p>\n

I’m willing to debate Ms. Weingarten on any issue discussed in any of these community notes as she wishes.<\/p>\n

But lets be clear: I would bring video evidence of what she said, the date she said it, and what her union was saying at the time.<\/p>\n
