Arizona GOP State Sen. Regrets Supporting 'Ridiculous' Audit That 'Makes Us Look Like Idiots'
Newsweek ^ | May 10, 2021 | Aila Slisco

Posted on 05/11/2021 1:18:06 PM PDT by Trump20162020

A Republican Arizona state senator has expressed embarrassment over the ongoing Maricopa County presidential election audit, saying the effort makes the state GOP "look like idiots."

State Sen. Paul Boyer, who previously voted in favor of the audit, now believes that the review is "ridiculous," according to an interview published by The New York Times on Sunday. The Republican-led audit has come considerable scrutiny over allegations of partisan bias, lack of transparency, general incompetence and security concerns.

"It makes us look like idiots," Boyer told the paper on Friday. "Looking back, I didn't think it would be this ridiculous. It's embarrassing to be a state senator at this point."

Well you do look like idiots. You were supposed to be in charge of elections and prevent this fiasco.

Maybe if you had done your jobs last fall, it wouldn’t have had to come to this, Jackass.

You never catch democrats saying this about anything their party does no matter how ridiculous.

You have to wonder why Republicans will say this about their own party. Are they more honest? Are they less party-centric? Are the GOP whips weak and toothless? Are they really conservatives? Are they bought off by the other side to say such things?

Why not just withhold comment or say “let’s see the results?”

They are way way behind in the tally counts if the numbers quoted in the story are true.

[[You never catch democrats saying this about anything their party does no matter how ridiculous.]]

and this is why republicans always lose- our republican representatives immediately throw each other under the bus when there is any kind of heat at all-

This is one example why the base is losing Hope that our representatives will stick together and fight the evil demonic rats like the rats fight the GOP at every turn. I have no faith in them I will never again vote for another RINO republican never. Matter of fact I despise them all now! Trump was the only one with a set of Bowling balls that took it straight to the rats. Unfortunately there’s only half a dozen of Republicans at the hill who are courageous and will not bend or cave or vote with the evil bastard rats. The rest are cowards money hungry greedy cowards!

So far as I know, there have been no reported results yet.

How can he be embarrassed?

Nothing wrong with counting and checking that I can think of.

Only looks like idiots if they find nothing. Starting to wonder if it’s a set up and they say they found nothing. Or they are setting up that if they find fraud they can say the audit was cheating and are making things up. I guess we can hope and pray..

"It makes us look like idiots," Boyer told the paper on Friday.

Because the human garbage media "news" liars say so? Stop worrying about what corrupt New York based "journalists" think. Worry about the truth.

You may look like an idiot for many reasons, but a proper audit just gives people the facts. What’s wrong with that and what’s it go to do with how one “looks”?
