My dearest christchild I’ve never seen a hit so clean in my bloodsworn life
I am sad to announce that pundit Chris Cillizza was found murdered this afternoon. Police identified the suspect as a man who actually read one of Cillizza’s articles
![This is a screenshot of a Twitter exchange between
(@ChrisCillizza) and Andrew Joyce (@AndrewPaulJoyce).
Chris Cillizza tweets: “Tell me again why picking the popular Democratic governor of the state you ABSOLUTELY HAVE TO HAVE TO WIN as VP didn’t make sense?”
Andrew Joyce replies: “Maybe the Harris campaign read this 2020 piece about how VP candidates don’t win their home states written by …[checks notes] … Chris Cillizza” and includes a link to an article: “amp.cnn.com/cnn/2020/08/10…”
The image shows a partial screenshot of the CNN article titled “thing you’ve heard a…,” authored by Chris Cillizza, CNN Editor-at-large. The article discusses conventional wisdom about vice presidential candidates and swing states, noting historical examples where VPs did not secure their home state.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:oy2ebrbjfsmr3oacqe5mbuw5/bafkreihkqwq7zzj4ocitxillkeac2wsgssnghpfi3k6ihhlrbh6hvlxcr4)
