'Let's not pretend' Republicans and Democrats share equal blame for election denial, DCCC chair says

Source: Politico

Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney pushed back on the idea Sunday that Democrats share equal blame with Republicans for widespread election denial, and said members of his party "always have, always will" accept the outcome of elections.

"Let's not pretend for a minute that both sides have the same amount of accountability for the loss of confidence in our elections," Maloney (D-N.Y.), chair of the congressional Democratic campaign arm, said on CBS' "Face the Nation."

"One side has been out there for a couple of years now, doing everything they can to pretend Joe Biden didn't win fair and square, when he did," he added.

A judge ruled last week that people who showed up at Arizona ballot drop boxes carrying guns and wearing bulletproof vests will be allowed to continue to monitor the voting sites, a development Maloney seemed to condemn Sunday.

Liars and con men create mass insanity, which is exactly what we have.

This is the legacy of Trump and those who love or fear him.

...Gore and Kerry did not try to subvert the process through lies, frivolous lawsuits, and other nefarious schemes, and their supporters did not resort to violence.

is open and obvious...his brain-dead MAGA hate her in the same way Marjorie Taylor Greene and her vile kind hate their go-to Jewish guy George Soros..he and Pelosi are brands much like Kleenex and Advil ...but the assassination attempt on Pelosi and the vicious attack on her 82 year old husband by MAGA inspired asshole has elevated Nancy to martyr status, and the Trump buffoons are pissed..

Don’t let the M$M feed this narrative - it’s sick stuff that encourages a “pox on both your houses” attitude amongst voters. The truth is - the toxic rot that is choking our Democracy is the sole responsibility the TFG and his ChristoFascist Republican Party.

Make them own this nonsense lock stock and barrel.
