Lone black Republican U.S. congresswoman slams Trump after defeat

https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-election-utah/lone-black-republican-u-s-congresswoman-slams-trump-after-defeat-idUSKCN1NV2OQ



Oh joy. This should be fun.


tldr: another RINO got the ax and is bitter about it.

and her district had been trending blue for a couple of cycles anyway.
aaand she is a mormon, a group which is notoriously unenthused about Trump and 'trumpy' politics.

Actually her district had been trending red, and she still lost her chance at her third term. And blames the Republicans ofc.

No, her district had been trending blue. But whatever, she was a weak candidate anyway.

She failed to win this seat in 2012... in Utah. Then, she only very narrowly won it when running against a non-incumbent in the republican wave election of 2014, and now lost it again in her first reelection campaign with a rough national environment.

I waited for Saucy to post this, but my wait was in vain.

not sure what is really funny about it. i guess because the claim of voter fraud is on the republican side?
it's a bit hard to judge what's happening by this video. what is the exact claim here? appears that he has a high number of absentee votes?

Republican hypocrisy
Republican silence
the context of Trump and his people claiming millions and millions of unproven illegal votes caused him to lose the popular (aka a lie)

now on the rare occasion of fraud that gets caught it appears it's the brothers in the red that are engaged in it

not uncommon for Republicans to squawk loudest about what they do the most

so what is the exact claim of voter fraud? you forgot to answer that part.
