Rep. Vicente Gonzalez, D-Texas, who's running for re-election to Congress in the midterm elections, claimed during an event attended by House Intelligence Committee chairman Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., that a June special election in Texas was stolen by Rep. Mayra Flores, R-Texas, and her supporters.
The remarks from Gonzalez came during a "vote blue" event at Shotz bar in Brownsville, Texas, on Thursday.
"Our democracy is at stake," Gonzalez claimed. "There's millions and millions of dollars from outside our region and outside our state that are coming here to try to steal our elections and take away your value and take away the process that we rely on, which is elections. And we don't have the resources to compete with these outside resources. We can't compete with the Koch brothers, we can't compete with big oil, and big tobacco, and the NRA. They can outspend us, but they can't outwork us."
Taking aim at Flores, his Republican rival in the race to represent Texas' 34th Congressional District, Gonzalez said the newly elected GOP representative who defeated her Democratic challenger in a special election to represent the redrawn district, "showed up to Congress and voted against keeping our communities safe."
"They stole that last election," Gonzalez claimed. "They spent $3 million to our $250,000, they campaigned for two years, and they still only won by less than one percent. So, the way to turn this around is getting out and vote."
Schiff, who serves on the House select committee investigating the January 6 Capitol protests, also spoke to Gonzalez's supporters at the event and offered remarks favoring his candidacy in the race.

Another Democrat “extremist” tearing the very “soul of our nation” apart, according to Biden’s definition.

Look where and who the big money is coming to Texas ... from Soros, Gates, Zuckerberg, etc., millions upon millions going to the likes of El Puta Politico O’Rourke, etc.
Isn’t it the democrats who claim that, when somebody alleges that an election was stolen, that the accusers are ‘a danger to our democracy’?
Where are the democrat ‘defenders’ of democracy now?
Yeah but point is, the vote was legitimate.
Lol dems can scream elections were stolen because the other side used more money but when the 2020 election is called stolen those same commies scream but but muh democracy

She got “the most votes in history”.
Vicente sounds like some kind of semi-fascist to me.
This is fun! Let’s play!
“Our democracy is at stake,” Gonzalez claimed.

WhenDems use the phrase “our democracy” they mean their power.
