Overview
- CNN’s KFile reported that Mallory McMorrow deleted about 6,000 tweets that included praise of California, criticism of the rural Midwest, support for Black Lives Matter, and comparisons of Trump and his supporters to Nazis.
- In a CNN interview, McMorrow said she chose to delete posts up to 2021 and argued that voters want a candidate who is open and authentic.
- Pressed on where she lived and voted, she said she and her husband decided to move in 2014, voted in California in June 2016, and registered to vote in Michigan in August 2016.
- She stood by past posts that suggested rural Americans could learn from coastal elites and said the Trump era shows shades of authoritarianism with parallels to Nazi Germany.
- Primary rival Rep. Haley Stevens called the posts out of touch and warned they could hurt Democrats against likely GOP nominee Mike Rogers, and CNN noted that fellow Democrat Abdul El‑Sayed also removed old posts in a broader scrub.
