Peter Navarro Gets Testy When Asked If Kamala Harris Can Throw Out Election Results

Former White House trade adviser Peter Navarro apparently thinks it would have been OK for then-Vice President Mike Pence to challenge the 2020 election results , but not for current Vice President Kamala Harris to do the same in 2024.

After claiming that Pence has the ability to throw votes that might be “suspicious” back to the states, Navarro got into a bit of a tizzy when MSNBC’s Ari Melber asked him on Thursday: “It would follow, from your contention, that Vice President Harris should ultimately have the call over who should be president, regardless of the results in the next election?”

snip-

“It’s not for the vice president to determine who wins. The only thing Pence had the authority to do was go back to the states and let the states look at the votes,” he said.

Of course, Navarro ignored the most basic point of his plan: The votes can’t go back to the states unless a vice president like Pence or Harris goes along with the scam.

of the mentally unstable and psychologically warped iceberg of Navarro … he needs to be found unfit for any position in government and sent back to whatever dregs of society he rose from …

He liked the ones he agreed with anyway. No doubt there were a whole slew of reviews calling it the trash it was. Now that's some really serious vetting there.

John Oliver ran a story on it that was absolutely hilarious.

Until Ari pointed out it was firmly lodged in his mouth.

What a fucking sociopath justifying such criminality.
He is anti American to his slimy core.

His pointless, flailing hand gestures looked like TFG's when he's in Full Gish Gallop.
They're a pretty good "tell" for spotting bad actors on stage....and liars.

directly to his stupid fucking asshole face!

Absolutely detestable excuse for a human being.

Mr. Deplorable in the flesh. If you looked up the word “deplorable” in the dictionary, his picture might be right there. In his case, it’d be a “dick-tionary.”

Latching onto the statement as to whether the Vice President can pick the next President is a red herring. His entire argument is that the VP can kick things back to any state that his or her ticket lost until that state comes back with a different result. As ludicrous as it sounds, that argument 100% means that a Democratic VP can do the exact same thing.
