No sooner did I say that Ol’ Pornstache himself, Eric Hovde, needed to shit or get off the pot by both conceding or asking for a recount, that he replied by standing up and shitting himself.
In an nearly 5 minute lengthy video, the California carpetbanker launched into his personal model of the Large Lie. Amongst his baseless accusations was that the Metropolis of Milwaukee had a late evening “poll dump” of 108,000 ballots and that they had been extremely suspect as a result of they had been principally Democratic. He additionally went on to say he was on monitor to win till that poll dump.
Whereas it’s true that the absentee ballots didn’t get reported till 4 am, it was effectively reported that they weren’t going to complete the rely till the wee hours on Wednesday as a result of Republicans within the state legislature refused to go a regulation permitting election clerks to start out counting all these absentee ballots till Tuesday morning. So, if he desires to gripe, blame his fellow Republicans. And no, it is not shocking that the second largest Democratic bastion within the state would vote principally Democratic. Perhaps if Hovde was from Wisconsin, he would have identified that. And thirdly, Republican operatives had been saying all through the evening that they had been involved that Hovde didn’t have a big sufficient result in stand up to the late votes coming in from Milwaukee.
Hovde additionally tried in charge the Democrats for bolstering an America First candidate who siphoned off a number of thousand votes from Hovde. You recognize, identical to the GOP supported Inexperienced Social gathering candidate Jill Stein to siphon off votes from Kamala Harris.
Now, maintain on, as a result of there’s extra. There’s at all times extra.
Not solely did Hovde come out after every week of silence and sound as batshit loopy as his buddy, the Orange Felon, however he additionally went rogue, catching your entire GOP off guard:
There’s nonetheless extra. What or who may probably make a person who repeatedly bemoaned either side complaining about election fraud and saying he would settle for the outcomes even when he misplaced turn into a QAnon conspiracy theorist and election denier? How in regards to the excessive priest of election denial and conspiracy theories himself, the disgraced and disbarred John Eastman:
And the grand finale of this shitshow was the truth that Hovde went on a neighborhood squawk radio present to confess that he misplaced the election in any case:
It ought to be famous that regardless that Hovde admitted to dropping, he nonetheless has to ask for a full or partial recount however would have to take action earlier than the top of subsequent week. Hopefully, he’ll save us all some grief by simply staying in Laguna Seashore and by no means pollute Wisconsin’s air ever once more.
