Kevin McCarthy is getting ratioed on twitter for this tweet:

(I hope I am using the term "ratioed" correctly.) Some of these responses are really biting him in the ass.

President Biden told us he would have a plan to defeat the virus on day 1. He just never told us that it would be to give the vaccine to terrorists before most Americans.

....because the Biden Administration wants to protect those who are guarding those prisoners?

The funny thing is that must have been in the republican talking points memo this morning. He, Bobbinheadbert, Greene, Junior, and others have all been griping about it today.

Granted ones with clean hands, but the public face of IRA none the less.

Kind of like the GOP and Proud Boys, Oath Keepers, KKK, and the bevy of Neo Nazi's.

ratio -- verb -- to flood (a tweet or its author) with negative replies such that commenters as a group take control of the momentum and message away from the original poster:

in a prison, like a contagious disease, extreme heat or cold, odors, etc., the guards have to work in those conditions.
