And yet people FLIP when Lin says to hell with the GA elections unless the two Rs Prove they are with Trump in fighting this fraud.
I’m All For backing them if they have Trump’s back.
The pressure Lin put seems to be making that happen, at least in part because of him.
If they waver..screw em.
Hearings lots and lots of hearings!
Fox News covers this distraction instead of the presidential vote fraud.
Fox News covers this distraction instead of the presidential vote fraud.
That is because CAVUTO repeated 4 TIMES that there is no evidence of fraud in the 2020 election.
Neil Cavuto is a demonrat ass licker.
not so much a distraction since Padilla, Garcetti and a few others are being considered for appointed positions. Questioning the ethics of Padilla throws a long shadow no Newsom prior to Newsom appointing him to Congress. Garcetti is being considered for a Biden appointment, so the grant casts a long shadow, also. What the Repubs do with this gift is another story.
