Sarah Matthews, fmr White House press sec, says: "I've seen the impact that his words have on his supporters. They truly latch onto every word and every tweet." She says Trump's tweet condemning Pence "was him pouring gasoline on the fire and making it much worse." #January6th

'We don’t doubt that the governor, like all Texans, was saddened and angered by the senseless loss of life in Uvalde. We just don’t believe he’s angry and sad enough.' @ChronOpinion
