GOP Lawmaker Faces Recall For Vote to Expel Harasser

July 26, 2021 at 12:22 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard 83 Comments

"SNIP......

An effort to recall a Republican legislator in North Dakota “largely over his vote to expel a fellow GOP lawmaker accused of sexually harassing women at the state Capitol is being viewed as a litmus test for party loyalty,” the Associated Press reports.

“The move to recall Rep. Dwight Kiefert over his vote to oust former Rep. Luke Simons has fanned the flames of an intraparty fight that has a far-right faction seeking to control the party apparatus and replace Republicans they see as too moderate.”

The recall petition accuses Kiefert of “failing to meet the standards of a Republican” representing the district.

1. ?? "the standards of a Republican" ?? W T F are they talking about. There ARE no standards.

2. "Failure to meet the standards"?

The Party of racism has standards?

The Party of fascism has standards?

The Party of misogyny has standards?

The Party of stupidity has standards?

One can only wonder what those standards might be.

4. ..."failing to meet the standards of a Republican" representing the district.

Ya, it's pretty clear who failed here.

It wasn't Kiefert .

So sexual harassment has now been established as "the standards of a Republican Rep".

"effort to recall a Republican legislator in North Dakota “largely over his vote to expel a fellow GOP lawmaker accused of sexually harassing women at the state Capitol is being viewed as a litmus test for party loyalty,”

This is a disgrace.

5. Sexual harrassment is on the checklist...

Constant lying - check
Belligerence - check
Sexual predator - check
Voter suppression - check

"He's our guy."

6. This could be important if it keeps happening and

successfully. The far right taking over from the more moderate factions. And if course it has been happening for years.
