Hereās a Jan 6 Committee video mash-up of one of Loudermilkās tour goers, threatening multiple Democratic figures on Jan 6, including Pelosi and AOC (whose head he threatened to shave), along with CCTV footage of him taking photos while on the tour the day before.
Also: āweāre coming in like white on riceā? WTF?
In depressing news, a QAnon type Republican beat a Democrat in a Congressional special election in the Rio Grande Valley. Iām starting to wonder if Texas is like Florida: not turning blue or purple, but actually getting redder.
My understanding is they refused to certify any of the election results, thought itās a thoroughly GOP controlled commission and county. The state has now sued them for failing to follow election law.
This was for a newly gerrymandered district, where the incumbent resigned, and the likely Democrat nominee did not run in the special election because heās representing another district. Heāll run in the general election against her, and Biden won whatās to be that new district by a huge margin, but yeah, heās now facing an incumbent, and itās not good news overall.
Designed by computer to return a Republican. How do I know? Because districts designed to concentrate Democrats donāt stretch halfway across the state while skipping entire cities.
The newly created district will be even more historically Democrat than before. This district is designed to concentrate Democrats to keep them from being competitive in nearby districts, thereby solidifying the Republican disproprotionate advantage overall.
