Pelosi-Backed Push to Steal Iowa House Seat Fails, and the Reason Why Should Be Heeded by the GOP
Red State.com ^ | March 31, 2021 | Sister Toldjah,

The dispute in Congress over Iowa’s 2nd Congressional District race is now officially over.

Democrat nominee Rita Hart, who took her case to the Democrat-controlled House in December, instead of the courts, after losing the election by 6 votes to her Republican opponent, Mariannette Miller-Meeks, released a statement on Twitter just minutes ago declaring that she was withdrawing her petition to the House Administration Committee because she couldn’t effectively combat the wave of negative PR she and her fellow Democrats brought on themselves over the issue:

“After many conversations with people I trust about the future of this contest, I have made the decision to withdraw my contest before the House Committee on Administration. Since Election Day, and throughout this entire process, my mission has been about ensuring the voices of Iowans who followed the law are not silenced. I am saddened that some Iowans’ votes will not count through no fault of their own,” she said.

“Despite our best efforts to have every vote counted, the reality is that the toxic campaign of political disinformation to attack this constitutional review of the closest congressional contest in 100 years has effectively silenced the voices of Iowans. It is a stain on our democracy that the truth has not prevailed and my hope for the future is a return to decency and civility.”

“ Republicans need to remember the reasons Hart cited for her withdrawal and tattoo them on their foreheads if necessary: Sometimes the easiest way to defeat Democrats is by using their own arguments against them and not letting up on them one bit until they concede.”

This entire paragraph being the exact opposite of civility notwithstanding

They could steal the seat. But then they’d pay as it will lose them seats.

Rubbish. She was “saddened” that her conjured up/manufactured votes weren’t counted.

So, in other words, they didn’t register enough dead people or submit enough fake mail-in ballots.

Now she’ll tour the country with fat stacy, holding “Those Cheating Republicans Stole The Election!” rallies. Until the big lie takes hold. While Republican leadership runs away from the legitimate “Biden Stole It!” movement. Watch and see what smart people with balls do, however evil.

Rs are cowards.

R’s are COMPLICIT!

They assisted with the illegal alien invasion, with the goal being a permanent Democrat majority.

They assisted with the Kenyanesian Usurpation.

They assisted with the Big Steal.

They are Assistant Democrats.
