Tweet of the Day

Actually, we have two tweets, because I don't which one deserves the solo honor -- and ultimately they are of a pair.

They are also 100% valid.  Bob Goldblatte is the Republican congressman from Virginia's 6th District, and he serves on the House Judiciary Committee.  His Congressional website's bio says he has two children, one of them a son Bobby.  Also, there is a CNN news story about the second tweet below.  The son Bobby Goldblatte's Twitter bio shows him living 3,000 miles away in California, which might be a good thing.

So, here is the first tweet I came across today.  It expressed a similar thought that I had when reading about the political and shameful firing today of FBI agent Peter Strzok (keeping in mind that the Justice Department's independent Inspector General report said that Strzok's personal text messages had no bearing on his work, and it only recommended a temporary suspension).  But though our opinions overlapped, the perspective of the tweet is far more profound --
​

I’m deeply embarrassed that Peter Strzok’s career was ruined by my father’s political grandstanding. That committee hearing was a low point for Congress.

Thank you for your service sir. You are a patriot https://t.co/3dNN3AlXCZ

And in going through Bobby Goodlate's timeline on Twitter, I came across this following tweet -- which is the one about which CNN did its story.

Thanksgiving meals should be interesting at their house.  Hopefully they have a long-standing and congenial disagreement about politics.  It's a long-shot, I know, but still...

I just gave the maximum allowed donation to Jennifer Lewis, a democrat running for my father's congressional seat. I've also gotten 5 other folks to commit to donate the max. 2018 is the year to flip districts — let's do this! https://t.co/bYCKta2Bhs
