This is absolutely maddening: (transcript at bottom)
Briefly, f**head argues: "See!? Voter fraud is real!!!" and says at one point:
"the Republican candidate seems" (and he repeats for emphasis) "seems to have benefited".
But he totally conflates this specific incident into making NC09 about “Voter Fraud™” and how it’s “some left wing talking point that it’s some sinister right wing plot to keep people from voting” (well he got that part right anyways.)
and ends with this near taunting: “see? we told you why this is so important!”
But g*damn it I am so mad. SO mad...
I .... *&%^$&UG*R(@#! HATE this man with my entire being!!!
Transcript:
Anyone who's paid attention to the news the past few days has learned about the complete DEBACLE that unfolded in last November's election in NC' 9th CD.
Soon after Election Day allegations of illegal ballot harvesting and vote tampering clouded a close result.
The wrong-doing seemed to have benefited the republican candidate over the democrat.
Just last week we saw the state board of elections unanimously call for a new election.
Now Madame president for years and years every republican who dared to call for common sense safeguards for America’s ballots, was demonized by Democrats and their allies. We were hit with left wing talking points insisting that voter fraud wasn’t real! ‘Never happens’ they said. ‘Well that fraud just didn’t happen.’
And modest efforts to ensure that voters are who they say they are, and voting in the proper place, were really some sinister right wing plot to prevent people from voting.
So now, as you might expect, now that an incident of very real voter fraud has become national news, and the Republican candidate seems, seems, to have benefited. These long standing Democratic talking points have been really quiet.
Haven’t heard much lately from the Democrats about how fraud never happens. They’ve gone silent.
Now some are singing a different tune. Now there’s a new interest in insuring the sanctity of American elections.
I’ve been focused for decades on the integrity of elections. So I’d like to welcome my friends on the left to their new realization. They’ve just discovered that this subject really matters.
