Matt Schlapp to Meadows, "Send killers to torch the place"




@marceelias
The day after the election, a conservative activist suggested that the White House send "killers" to states still counting ballots in order to "torch the place."

Unfazed, the WH chief of staff suggested the activist and his wife go to PA (where ballots were still being counted).

But it's pretty bad just as he meant it figuratively.

“Need outsiders who will torch the place…local folks won’t do it”

Republican on the national level send their goons to non-cooperative states to pressure them into election fraud.

And this is the party whose brand is states rights and get the federal government off our backs. They call for professional, out-of-state goon squads to “torch the place” and get the riot started.

And funded by? The time is fleeting for those responsible for the coup to be charged.

staging protests, harassing/intimidating election workers as they count ballots...threatening their families...the night of the election, when it appeared Trump was temporarily leading in the vote count, he announced victory and assumed the count would stop, but the count continued...and when Biden was declared the winner, Trump and his enablers were confident his guys on the USSC would reverse the count thereby giving Trump his victory (Bush v Gore) but the court refused to hear the election challenge.....
