General question. But first, this excerpt:

The first senator to issue such a call was Sen. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.). Late Tuesday, he encouraged Ford to testify and noted that the GOP-controlled committee has offered her a private session.

When Dr. Ford came forward, I said that her voice should be heard and asked the Judiciary Committee to delay its vote on Judge Kavanaugh. It did so. I now implore Dr. Ford to accept the invitation for Monday, in a public or private setting. The committee should hear her voice.

“When Dr. Ford came forward, I said that her voice should be heard and asked the Judiciary Committee to delay its vote on Judge Kavanaugh. It did so,” Flake wrote on Twitter. “I now implore Dr. Ford to accept the invitation for Monday, in a public or private setting. The committee should hear her voice.”

Flake doesn’t explicitly say that the committee should vote even if Ford still won’t testify without an FBI investigation, but CNN’s Jim Acosta reported that Flake agrees with Corker on that point.

Now the question: Why do folks like the WaPo show a Twitter remark twice? Shouldn't the remark do the job? Why must the remark be repeated? Just wondering.

“”Why do folks like the WaPo show a Twitter remark twice? Shouldn’t the remark do the job? Why must the remark be repeated? Just wondering.””

I don’t indulge in any twitter or whatever but I’ve always wondered WHY we have to see two versions of the same thing every time someone posts a twitter message...Must be missing something but can’t believe it would have any bearing on the content of ONE message...said twice!
