IL-06: Sean Casten Complains in Twitter Rant He Says Is Not Political

Sean Casten

Complaints against the President and Republicans in response to the President’s soaring approval ratings

Early this morning (Friday, March 27), Congressman Sean Casten post a multi-tweet thread from his political account Twitter ID, which is transcribed below for ease of reading:

“Alright everybody: listen up.

“This is going to get a lot worse before it gets better. The fragility of every institution that we used to rely on is being exposed. There are heroes to celebrated and devils to be exorcised. But that is for later.

“For now:

Media: stop spreading lies. That includes the President’s press conferences. They are getting people killed. I have constituents who are convinced this is a hoax and they need to go back to work. Take away his platform.

Social media: you are media companies, not platforms. Get over this ‘I have no control over what people post BS’. You do and you know it, you just don’t want the liability. Do the right thing now and save lives.

Social media users: don’t repost or share things that are not factual that you cannot independently verify. We have enough bad things spreading virally now. Dont contribute to the problem.

Republicans: it is time for you to acknowledge that standing up FOR Americans, standing up FOR science, standing up FOR humanity requires standing up TO Trump. He has no power if you take it away. Shut him down.

“If this sounds partisan, it shouldn’t. I don’t want people to die. Republicans, Democrats, Americans, Chinese, Italians. All are at risk and the virus does not discriminate

“I am not trying to politicize this, but we must acknowledge that we are in this moment for political reasons and every day we continue to allow politics to trump science, we.put lives at risk.

“A political party that has spent 3 decades denying climate science is ill-equipped to take the advice of scientists seriously, especially when they warn of geometrically multiplying, invisible threats from collective action.

“A political party that has become completely dependent on the NRA and the Koch brothers has an engine designed for obedience, not leadership. It is structurally incapable of standing up to Trump, and proves as much every day.

“But here’s the thing. COVID-19 don’t give a damn. It exists to infect, multiply, find a new host and repeat. That’s what viruses do.

“This particular virus has the deadly quality that while it kills a lot of people, it doesn’t kill most people. From the virus’ point of view, most of us exist solely to transmit to others. And we serve that purpose by staying in close contact with other humans.

“Public health experts understand this. They warned us of it. In countries that had dealt with SARS (China, S Korea, Japan, etc) they listened to those public health experts, acted on their advice and stopped the spread early.

“But in the Trump administration, in our country, those same experts were ignored, disbanded and marginalized. That is why we now have more cases than Italy. More cases than China. Still no slowdown in the growth rate of deaths or new cases. Because scientists were ignored.

“If we continue to follow Trump’s advice, to focus on the economy over public health, polls over science, people will die. Tens, if not hundreds of thousands of Americans will be dead by the summer if we do not clamp down on the lies NOW.

“So if you are a media outlet, a social media titan, a politician, anyone with influence over anyone else’s life and daily choices: act like what you do today determines how many people will be alive in June. Because those are the stakes.”

Lauren Underwood

COMMENTARY: Reading this thread, I read a combination of Chicken Little and Congresswoman Lauren Underwood calling deaths of children at the border last May 22 as “intentional” by the Trump Administration policies.

Underwood had her words at the House Homeland Security Committee last May “taken down”, or “stricken” from the record in a real bipartisan vote among the 16 committee members present (Democrat Congresswoman Elissa Slotkin (MI) voted with Republicans).

If Casten were to say this Twitter rant in an official meeting, he’d suffer the same fate.

The NRA and the Koch Brothers? I would trust the real Patriots at the NRA over the Green New Deal acolytes and the likes of Mike Bloomberg and George Soros & Company any day.

Looking forward to Republican challenger Jeanne Ives’ response to Casten’s latest Twitter rant.

IL-06: Sean Casten Complains in Twitter Rant He Says Is Not Political — 19 Comments

  1. In an abundance of caution, I am urging a complete shutdown of all politicians.

  2. Isolate the pervert Casten on an Aleutian island permanently.

    His hate is viral.

    The populace must be protected from monsters like him and Underweirdo.

  3. Always blame the Koch brothers and the NRA.

    Normal liberal whining

  4. So China, with a population of 1.386 billion people, has less Coronavirus cases than the United States with 327.2 Million people.

    Thanks for having us prepared Trump and thanks for dismantling Barack Hussein Obama’s pandemic response team.

  5. Another liberal crazy:

    AOC rips Republicans because the coronavirus stimulus bill doesn’t include cash payments to illegal immigrants

    Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez lashed out at Republicans in a tweet Thursday

    Slammed stimulus bill for not giving out cash payments to all immigrants

    Only those taxpayers with a Social Security number are eligible for payment

    That includes citizens, green card holders, and immigrants on work visas

    However, workers present in the US illegally are not eligible even if they file taxes

  6. Many thanks to Honorable Congressman and accomplished business entrepreneur Sean Casten as well as to Honorable Congresswoman and accomplished nurse Lauren Underwood for telling the truth about our six-times bankrupt, sexual-assaulter-in-chief tronald dump. Many thanks also to Honorable Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for defending undocumented immigrants, the most vulnerable in the long chain of economic exploitation and perpetual target of the hatred of fake Christian, fake family values republikkklans. Stay tuned…tic, tock, tic, tock, tic, tock, tic, tock, tic, tock, meeeeeeoooooooowwwwwwwwwwwwww…

  7. dentbla has signed up for and will now be attending, the multi-level network marketing seminar to be held at the Wuhan Holiday Inn.

  8. Democrat politicians such as Casten tout and promote abortions as the “reproductive rights” of a woman. This is incorrect and properly should be labelled as “destructive rights” by women here in the U.S.

    In a debate back in 2018, Sean Casten flippantly compared an abortion to a gall bladder operation. He said,

    “I view abortion as a medical procedure like a gall bladder surgery”

    Per Casten, abortion just an inconvenience like a diseased gall bladder. Get rid of it. No big deal per him, AND many other Democrats.

    Casten, like many Democrats, view abortion by a woman as her “reproductive right”. Democrats view abortions as a matter of convenience for the woman. Abortion is not a right granted or given by nature nor God. It is an anomaly and should be rarely used such as to save a woman’s life or in the case of rape or incest.

    So, abortions destroy lives. Lives of the infant fetus. Abortions are destructive. Destruction of human lives. In the U.S., rights of abortion, the right to destroy was granted by humans in the Supreme Court. Not nature, not God.

    Amazingly, there are other Democrat politicians who claim to be Catholic who support abortions.

  9. Obviously dementbla believes everything the ChiComs propaganda machine
    disseminates for world consumption, which explains a lot about his lack
    of intellect.

    People like him are widely known as useful idiots, and Illinois is overrun
    with them.

  10. Angel should highlight Underwood’s top accomplishments instead of the usual gibberish:

    !. Free stuff for all.
    2. Broke up the Aspirin Trust.
    3. Safe and sane speed limits in alleyways.
    4. Sent Illinois Robber Barons fleeing to low tax environs.

  11. Casten is a Scientist by training—its precedes everything else about him–always with the “Scientific” view, thus the bend towards all things Science in his rambling rant.

    You’re dealing with unproven science here, models,much like “climate change” models that are not realistic and always doomsday predictions.

    He’s another one on the list of “Smart in school, dumb on the bus” types.

    He’s dangerous with that rhetoric and bias and being in Power.

    Ms Ives please give a more coherent response and other than Castens, “Trumps gonna kill us all, along with the NRA and Koch bros”…

  12. The twitter feed by this guy proves again that he is not fit to serve in the office he is in.

    Trump was widely criticized by the mostly left wing media and sleepy dementia dufus dope plagiarist Joe Robinette Biden when he put in the travel ban to China. They said that Trump was racist, xenophobic for putting in that ban.

    Democrats were asleep at the switch and were so pre-occupied with the phony impeachment late last year and early this year that they were unaware what was going on in China and around the world. One-hundred percent of their attention was on the phony impeachment. This impeachment nonsense went on all the way until Feb 5th, 2020.

    Trump’s China travel ban with regard to the Chinese Virus was put in effect on Jan 31, 2020. At the next Democrat Presidential Debate on Feb 7, 2020, not a single Democrat candidate including Biden mentioned the dangers of the virus.

  13. True! The worst sin and betrayal from Honorable Congresswoman and accomplished nurse Lauren Underwood to her constituents is…not being a republikkklan…stay tuned…tic, tock, tic, tock, tic, tock, hug your neighbor, tic, tock, tic, tock, tic, tock, meeeeeeoooooooowwwwwwwwwwwwww…

  14. Oh no, say it ain’t so—-
