McCarthy: It’s Not Stealing The Election If He Only Tried To Toss The Votes Of Two States

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) heatedly insisted Thursday that he did not try to overturn the 2020 election because he only voted against validating the results from two states — which wouldn’t have been enough, he reasoned, to overturn President Joe Biden’s win.

Kevin McCarthy is the dimmest of dim bulbs. His logic fails miserably.

Republican Mariannette Miller-Meeks won the election by just six votes

If she’s seated, we may find out which donors are pulling her strings.

No, from the Lee Atwater Young Republican Action Book, you don’t listen, not to yourself, certainly not to the other side, nor the moderator if there is one, you just talk fast and loud and keep throwing out “argument” after attack after bogus claim after lie until time has run out. Then you smirk and pat yourself on the back and look for some oldster to scam money from.

It’s in Chapter Two I think.

If you cut him in half, do you think both halves would be able to recite Republican talking points?

This man is an idiot’s idiot. People come from miles around just to watch him breathe.

He continued to claim that going through the courts is the proper way to conduct election challenges before pivoting to Republicans’ primary talking point on the Iowa mess.

“That’s where you go, you go to the courts,” he said. “The system says she can go to the courts — did she go there?” he asked, adding that the case was “pure politics.”

“Don’t mistake things that aren’t the same,” he shot at Raju before moving on.

I’m not very smart, I realize, but: given that both the PA and AZ elections had been challenged in court and then certified, it seems to me that maybe, following the argument he’s making here, McCarthy shouldn’t have challenged the results of those elections.

Oh Kev…it’s not ‘valid’ if they are questioning YOU??? But but but PELOSI! You really need new talking points.

So this is like Bill Clinton maintaining that a blow job was not sex. Depends on the definition of what “is” is. Of course he tried to overturn the election. I only tried to overturn two states, but my colleagues tried to overturn two others. All bullshit.

Nice to know he seemed rattled by the question, though.

Tossing out the votes of only two states isn’t “stealing”? TWO?? Geeze, it’s too bad Al Gore didn’t know that. The last 20 years and several fruitless wars could have been avoided.
