We apologize for endorsing U.S. Rep. Michael Waltz, who wants to overturn the election | Editorial
We apologize to our readers for endorsing Michael Waltz in the 2020 general election for Congress.
We had no idea, had no way of knowing at the time, that Waltz was not committed to democracy.
During our endorsement interview with the incumbent congressman, we didn’t think to ask, “Would you support an effort to throw out the votes of tens of millions of Americans in four states in order to overturn a presidential election and hand it to the person who lost, Donald Trump?”
Our bad.

More of this please. I want to see all major news outlets start talking about this as the threat to democracy it is. Call your local rag. Tell them what you think about them letting this shit slide as “crazy Trump business” instead of the serious threat it is. It’s not important that it wasn’t going to succeed. It is important that every single one of those R Congresspeople signed up to subvert the election, completely betraying their oath to uphold the constitution.
Fuck- these are the same assholes that wanted to prosecute Obama for wearing a tan fucking suit.

It wasn’t going to succeed, but it adds up.
It’s like acid on Gohmert teeth. It didn’t succeed the first time, but after enough repetition – poof, no more tooth.
