Supposedly, we are all countrymen/countrywomen. Yet, because of Christian Nationalism, KKK flyers are still being left on the steps of Black churches and in driveways in Mississippi, stating the KKK is "alive and growing in 14 states." “Save our land. Join the Old Glory.” 2/3

Today my heart breaks for the families and victims of gun violence in Smithsburg, Maryland. We deserve leaders who will put our communities first, including prioritizing common-sense gun safety. No one should have to live this way.

We all should be outraged that stolen Nuclear secrets were in fact found at Trump's Mar-A-Lago residence. No one is above the law. Yet, extremists like Michael Guest won't say one word against Donald Trump. Instead, he's attempting to lecture us on transparency. I think not.

My heart is heavy from the recent shootings in Uvalde, Chattanooga and Tulsa. Let me be clear: There is a direct correlation between the expiration of the assault weapons ban in 2004 and increased gun violence in our schools, churches, and communities.  We need gun control.

Michael Guest voted against the CROWN Act! He also voted no on voting rights. No on Infrastructure. No on Veteran funding. No on reauthorizing the Violence Against Women Act. But, yes to decertify the 2020 election. My mama doesn’t like him and she likes everyone! #mspol

Michael Guest has been Donald J. Trump’s crony from day one. Now he's removed his endorsement picture with Trump from his Twitter account. Remember Mississippi: This is the same Michael Guest who voted to overturn the 2020 election results. 1/3

UltraMAGA Michael Cassidy just lost to UltraMAGA Michael Guest in the #MS03 Republican Runoff. He faces me now! In this election, Guest must explain his role in the January 6 attack on the US Capitol and why he voted to decertify the election. Mississippi deserves an answer.

My grandfather fought in WWII against the Nazis and racism. When he returned home he bought land so my great-grandfather could stop sharecropping on a white supremacist’s land. 2/4

The people of Mississippi deserve to know why Rep. Michael Guest participated in a coup d'état by voting against certification of the 2020 election results. He was one of 147 Republicans who voted to decertify the 2020 election for Trump while enjoying #PutinsParty since 2016.

I'm the Democratic Party Nominee for US Congress in #MS03 . My opponent Michael Guest endorsed & was endorsed by Donald Trump. He also voted to decertify the 2020 election & seemingly seized the opportunity to support the January 6 Insurrection. In 193 days, I'll unseat him.

The moral sickness that has metastasized within our country through the actions of UltraMAGA extremists like Eric Greitens, the Texas GOP and others clearly reinforce our desperate need for nationwide gun control measures.

Defeating voter suppression in Mississippi and across the country starts with electing Democrats. The D stands for "Deliver."

At 17, I joined the Armed Forces. During my training @FortBenning , it was an honor to hold the flag representing our Delta 3-47 Infantry Second Platoon. I think of them today as we salute those who serve and protect our country. Thank you for your sacrifice. #ArmedForcesDay
