Bennie Thompson on elections: 'You don't tear the place up if you lose'

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.), chairman of the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot, took an apparent swipe at former President Trump, saying that in an election, “you don’t tear the place up if you lose.”

During an an interview published Friday with CNN, Thompson, 74, talked about growing up in Mississippi and the struggles he faced in his political career.

“My daddy died when I was in 10th grade, but he never had a chance to vote for his son to be elected, I think, is a sense of how far we’ve come,” Thompson told CNN’s Gloria Borger.

“The bragging rights as Americans is you can support the candidate of your choice, and sometimes you win, and sometime you lose, but you don’t tear the place up if you lose,” he added.

1. You're talking about grown-ups, Rep. Thompson

Spoiled little kids turn over the game board, take their ball and go home, run screaming into their bedroom and slam the door REAL hard, to show everyone how unfair everything is to you. I'll give folks two guesses about which political party fits that description more closely.
