Republicans Enter 'Post-Election' Phase, Blindly Disputing Vote Outcomes - Rachel Maddow - MSNBC



Rachel Maddow looks at Republican Jason Mariner's unwillingness to accept his election loss to Democrat Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick despite Mariner's failure to earn more than 20% of the votes and losing by nearly 60 points, as an example of a new Republican disregard for elections. Aired on 01/17/2022.

He's a racist and a misogynist. He can't believe that a black woman could possibly be chosen over a white man.

He probably thinks he's handsome, too. Idiot.

I'm so sick of the KKK patriarchy.

And if he's running as a Republican these days, you know he's a "follower" of TFG!

The clearest handicap he faces is simply being "Florida Man." It's a miracle he doesn't choke himself to death when he brushes his teeth. If he indeed is even able to perform basic personal hygiene.

Following TFG's example, the Republicans are attempting to rig all elections - no matter who won or by how much (this winning candidate or President Biden). they're determined to declare their candidates the winners, no matter what. The last election showed them that they won't "win" otherwise.
