Christ, what an asshole

So now he’s asking for election fraud! (I guess it’s a caucus so it doesn’t count?)

Somehow I doubt the citizens of Iowa will appreciate this

@frauenfelder

We’re asking all of these moms and grandmoms to come from wherever it might be —North Carolina, South Carolina and to descend upon the state of Iowa to be a part of the caucus

Is that true? WTF?

It is. She really did say that. Which prompted a reminder from the Iowa GOP on Xitter (which I won’t link here) that you do, in fact, have to be a legal resident of Iowa to vote in their caucuses, and you have to vote in the precinct where you live, and they check IDs. And that prompted a “clarification” from Casey DeSantis that she wasn’t implying that out of state people could vote, just that they could come and show their support. In spite of the fact that her words were not in the least bit ambiguous.

Also, what the fuck does this even mean? Was there some actual formal organization or something, because I’m pretty sure more than a million mothers and grandmothers have voted for all kinds of candidates from both parties before, in both statewide and national elections.

@frauenfelder

we had a coalition of 1.1 million mothers and grandmoms in the state of Florida. That was the largest that has ever been done in the history of our state and probably I would argue across the nation.

Well, of course they would see nothing wrong with this… and it shouldn’t surprise anyone, given the screams of ‘Voter Fraud’ from that side for years.
Accusationa = Confessions, & all that.

When ‘the ends justify the means’ is your mantra, you are proclaiming that you have no morals at all.

I wonder how much longer he’s going to keep wearing those clown shoes. Though any shoes he wears are, by definition, clown shoes.

She wasn’t implying, she was saying it. And she isn’t “clarifying”, she’s gaslighting.

Yes, that’s why my last sentence was…

There was once, during the cold war.

Maybe it’s a reference to Mom’s for Liberty. The one lead by a person with a 3-way kink.

Maybe, but what a bizarre group to bring up now. I’m surprised Ron didn’t elbow her so hard it knocked her out of her chair, if that’s who she was referencing.
