If You Pretend I Said Something Different Than I Said

Obviously saying "lol John Lewis isn't from the Deep South" is not the same thing as saying "Atlanta is not synonymous with Georgia."

Saying @RashidaTlaib (D-Detroit) and @IlhanMN (D-Minneapolis) are from the Midwest is like saying @RepLloydDoggett (D-Austin) is from Texas or @repjohnlewis (D-Atlanta) is from the Deep South. C’mon. https://t.co/C8d8OWHu3j

Also, I grew up in Atlanta. John Lewis was my congressman. But my first jobs were with the Marietta Daily Journal. So please don’t tell me that Atlanta is synonymous with Georgia. It isn’t.

What geographic subunit of Georgia is synonymous with Georgia?
How did all the garbage people at the Times get their jobs? Meritocracy!
