Nevada Secretary of State Barbara Cegavske (R), swiped at her Party’s state committee after it censured her for refusing to uphold ex-President Donald Trump’s false narrative claiming that the 2020 elections were tainted by voter fraud.
I don’t know if ant TPM’ers are political operatives and can weigh from an inside position in on this GOP desperation. I haven’t run into many stupid folks in here so Ill bet most of us get the gist of it. Things cannot be looking good long term for the GOP if they need this.
Authoritarians cannot tolerate alternative sources of authority or those who adhere to such even in minor matters: Ethics, science, common decency, all must acquiesce or be shunned.
Doesn’t matter - they only need to win once, then they can corrupt all elections thereafter so these states end up with one party rule, which is what the GQP wants.
Integrity is one of the characteristics being distilled and thrown out by the current GOP. I feel sorry for these Republicans. They’re now learning what this former Republican learned a very long time ago. The party has moved out from under them and folks with integrity are on their own now. They can thank Rupert Murdoch, Rush Limbaugh, Clear Channel Communications, the Koch’s, the Adelson’s, the Walton’s, the Roberts Court, Citizens United and more for this. We’ve got Birchers, Proud Boys, Oath Keepers and every right-wing racist nut-job climbing out from under their rocks to support the destruction of democracy.
The Nevada GOP passed a resolution to censure Cegavske on Saturday that claimed she had “put the reliability of our elections in Nevada in question” by publicly disputingTrump’s lies about voter fraud.
