Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker (R) on Tuesday took aim President Trump for stalling President-elect Joe Biden’s transition amid the COVID-19 pandemic. The sitting POTUS has continued waging baseless claims of widespread voter fraud following Biden’s projected win last weekend.
It’s Charlie Baker, not a real Republican in Trump’s view. Got to get a real Republican governor to rip Trump a new one.
Kemp
DeWine
Abbott
DeSantis
Who has the juice with Trump?
Baker . . . added that he is “aware of no legitimate claims of wrongdoing anywhere near the scale it would take to effect this outcome.”
Tell that to Graham, et al, who bought into this hook, line and sinker:
A Pennsylvania postal worker whose claims have been cited by top Republicans as potential evidence of widespread voting irregularities admitted to U.S. Postal Service investigators that he fabricated the allegations, according to three officials briefed on the investigation and a statement from a House congressional committee.
Richard Hopkins’s claim that a postmaster in Erie, Pa., instructed postal workers to backdate ballots mailed after Election Day was cited by Sen. Lindsey O. Graham (R-S.C.) in a letter to the Justice Department calling for a federal investigation. Attorney General William P. Barr subsequently authorized federal prosecutors to open probes into credible allegations of voting irregularities and fraud, a reversal of long-standing Justice Department policy.
But on Monday, Hopkins, 32, told investigators from the U.S. Postal Service’s Office of Inspector General that the allegations were not true, and he signed an affidavit recanting his claims,
This is a very good start, and regrettably overdue, at that. America needs a few more…America needs a LOT more GOPers who care more about the future of America than the future of the Dotard’s fantasies of power to step up and say the same. Just because the election is over does not mean that insisting that America’s democracy continue is yesterday’s mantra. Insisting that American’s future continue, as our founders intended, is more important now than ever. GOPers, speak up!
Well Covid Kim (that’s Iowa’s sorry governor) thinks the results are inconclusive and we need to wait for investigations. Or whatever.
She announced that while still refusing to issue a mask mandate. Malarky-town bat-malarky.
It’s ALWAYS the PUKES who are guilty of ELECTION FRAUD!! ALWAYS!!!
Good for him. I am so sick of these “fuck your feelings” people being such big immature babies. If someone runs for office and there will be a winner and a loser, that person must be mature enough to handle a loss. Maybe someone here has a grandchild who can explain that to the GOPers.
Richard Hopkins is going to regret this. Trump will have Barr see to it.
I wonder when Trump will summon all the Republican governors to a little sit down?
I have two who could explain it but I’m pretty sure neither one of them would knowingly talk to a GOPer.
You have smart grandkids.
I’m very curious as to why Hopkins made the claim in the first place.
You taught them well.
metoo
Disgruntled postal worker.
No, really:
“Good evening my friends,” [Erie Postmaster] Weisenbach wrote. “There has been awful things posted about the USPS and here is my statement. The allegations made against me and the Erie Post Office are 100% false made by an employee that was recently disciplined multiple times.
NE Republican… reasonable. (Could be worse, but fuck him anyway)
He is the reason Liz can’t have a Administration position.
Not because he fills the temporary seat, (he will choose a dem, for street cred)
Not because he will seek the seat in the special election.
But because he could win the seat in 24 if it’s not Liz.

NOTE:
(1.) "backdate ballots mailed after Election Day " … that would mean the ballots were in the postal worker’s hands Day - or- days AFTER election day - and would arrive at the election headquarters after that
(2.) so these ballots would have been treated in accordance with Judge Alito’s order - and been kept separate because the arrived after the day of the election!
I hear there are some openings in the Defense Department – Richard Hopkins has a bright future in Trumpistan!
75,000,000 votes can ONLY be inconclusive to bad faith modern dixiecrat republicans. And to a lightweight half wit, who never should have been President who lives in a never never land where he was a big success entrepreneur who got to fire people on TV…a mean spirited version of Chauncey Gardner.
I can’t either Charlie…what is WORSE is Trump isn’t trying to DO anything except grift the donors, build his worth, bomb Iran and/or start WWIII and scurry off the the UAE…WTF?
