1. The count wasn’t wrong as I specifically prefaced the number ‘as of yesterday.’ 2. You can’t have it both ways - on the one hand, tweet counts are petty and irrelevant; on the other hand, my team and I should have been monitoring your Twitter every minute until the moment of taping. lol. Ok. 3. Ultimately the number of tweets is irrelevant - as you conceded on the day, you carried on tweeting about Piker after criticizing others for doing so. Like Neera Tanden, you didn’t say a word about Mike Rogers’s extremist allies, eg Lorenzo Sewell (but unlike her, you thankfully didn’t falsely claim you did). The broader point still stands. You were/are part of the problem when it comes to the El-Sayed/Piker media pile on. All of this from you today is just defensive sour grapes. Be better, Matthew, and don’t worry we’ll be sharing lots of clips from the 1 hour interview - and you can too. Thanks again for doing it.

Try to imagine a prominent host on any news or entertainment network in America asking a fellow on-air panelist ‘You want more Jews in positions of power? You want more Black people in positions of power?’ Just try and imagine that. Try.
