FINALLY somebody else admits it. AND this right wing 🥜 is campaigning w Kari Lake…so….

The Trump-backed candidate for AZ SOS couldn't explain why his primary win was legitimate but the 2020 election was not. Watch him squirm.

apple.news/A_r3W8mo8Sa-MB…
Thx are in order for AZ’s right-wing conspiracy-theorist-turned-SOS-candidate Mark Finchem.

Finchem —a member of the extremist Oath Keepers militia who was seen outside the US Capitol on Jan 6 — has backed TFG’s baseless allegations that fraudulent AZ🗳cost TFG the 2020 election
That shameful hackery earned Finchem — a member of AZ’s House of Representatives — Trump’s endorsement in his campaign to become the state’s top elections official.
To give you an idea of how far he’ll go to bolster Trump’s lies,
Finchem — along with GOP gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake — launched an unsuccessful lawsuit to ban voting machines in AZ, premised on disproved claims about potential fraud.
But in a debate with his Democratic opponent Thursday, Finchem was caught essentially admitting that the “big lie” about 2020 election fraud was just a right-wing ruse.
When a debate moderator challenged Finchem to explain the material differences between his primary election in August and the 2020 presidential election, which he decried as fraudulent, Finchem first claimed to have “no idea” before owning up to the true answer.
“The candidates,” he said.

(Is the sun baking the 🧠 of #rethuglicans in AZ or what? They seem to have their fairly large share of insane conspiracy theorists & racist arsewipes)!
At around a minute long, that clip is the perfect length for a television commercial, & AZ Dems would be wise to make it 1. Finchem’s remarks are the perfect encapsulation of the GOP’s hypocrisy on election issues.

Hear that @harrisonjaime ? @DNC ? @TheDemocrats ?@azdemparty ?
That hypocrisy hasn’t been a secret.

(Y’all notice neither @LindseyGrahamSC nor @LeaderMcConnell complained abt THEIR elections eh? — i mean IF there WAS fraud, surely it was those two seats)!

#VoteThemAllOut

#TheBigLie is #TheBigCheat #RoevemberIsComing #RoeRoeRoeYourVote
Dozens of Trump-loving Republicans who denied the legitimacy of the 2020 presidential election have gone on to win primary races this yr & accept their victories as legitimate despite there being virtually no difference in the way their states administer elections.
But few, if any, have been as open — intentionally or not — as Finchem was in showing that their election objections were absolute nonsense.

For that — and I can’t believe I’m saying this — thank you, Mark Finchem.

So where is Durham’s final report? Y’all know he quietly ended his “investigation” after nearly 4 yrs & several million 💵 without 1 arrest of a Democrat from President Obama’s admin & he lost the case he brought against an HRC atty for lying to FBI?
2/purportedly Bill Barr tasked Durham to investigate whether any fed official, employee, or any other person or entity violated the law in connection w the intel, counter-intel, or law-enforcement activities directed at the 2016 presidential campaigns, individuals associated w…
3/those campaigns, & individuals associated with TFG’s admin, including but not limited to Crossfire Hurricane & the investigation of Special Counsel Robert S. Mueller, III.

Republicans have come up w their “Commitment to America”.

GOP held the House, Senate &  WH for TWO whole yrs while TFG was in office, why didn’t they do these things then? They had the numbers!

This is another scam by GOP

Here’s my own opinion before the article starts …

Any name calling is ME, some words were abbreviated to save characters. Image
2/FIRST We know what #Rethuglicans DID do when they were in charge tho, right?

They signed the #GOPTaxScam that PERMANENTLY changed the tax brackets to lower or eliminate corp & rich ppl taxes while the so-called “tax breaks” for citizens EXPIRE in 2025!!

2/- pledge to adv fed legislation to restrict abortion access
-no birth control
- opposition to any legislation to restrict gun rights, pledging to "safeguard" 2nd A.
-"conduct rigorous oversight" & "require WH to answer 4 its “incompetence” at home & abroad," & hold hearings on:
3/-origins of the coronavirus pandemic,
-U.S. withdrawal of Afghanistan,

2/warrant that shows he is reportedly under investigation for possible identity theft, conspiring to damage a protected computer connected to a suspected voting equipment security breach, & conspiracy to defraud the United States.
3/Plaintiffs," Judge Tostrud wrote, "have not served Defendants [Garland and Wray] with the Complaint, or at least Plaintiffs have not yet filed any proof of service."

That was just the first slap.

Irony is totally dead now that Laura Trump has gone on TV to complain abt the #TrumpCrimeFamily fraud lawsuit by NY AG. She 😭 that poor Eric was humiliated by the precious charity lawsuit & now those poor little sick kids at St Jude — probably have died — bec of it? Srsly?
2/FACTS: bef waxing poetic on Eric’s charity exploits — NY AG James on Nov. 7, 2019, announced that the NY Supreme Ct ordered TFG to pay $2M in damages "for improperly using charitable assets to intervene in the 2016 presidential primaries & further his own political interests."
3/As part of the settlement, other stipulations in the lawsuit were resolved, incl 1 related to the Trump family’s involvement w charities. The settlement req’d mandatory training for the 3 elder offspring & imposed restrictions on TFG should he join another charity as director.

So TFG is in deep trouble for intentional mishandling of classified documents — which BTW is exactly what he said Hillary Clinton should be ‘locked up’ for back in 2016. #Hypocrisy

#TrumpIsANationalSecurityRisk #TrumpStoleClassifiedDocuments #TrumpIsATraitor #LockHimUpNow
2/during his reign of terror, he was found to have obstructed justice, extorted Ukraine by “perfect”call & held back military aid 4 a #quidproquo

He abandoned Kurds & left them to💀for oil apparently to appease #Erdogan for not allowing a dissident 2 b kidnapped off 🇺🇸 streets!
3/he released 5000 Taliban prisoners & gifted Afghanistan to the Taliban setting womens rights back 200 yrs — all w/out consulting Afghanistan’s leaders. Set arbitrary date 4 troop withdraw that screwed over everybody in the end & allowed Taliban to take over the country.
