This is their strategy for the midterms and Comer is saying it loud and proud [View all]

"What we're seeing especially in the blue states is fraud, especially in the minority communities." he said today with no evidence.

Okay, this is a lie. It is BS. We all know that and so it is tempting to sigh, roll your eyes, look away and assume that no one normal believes it.

Unfortunately, when you have Chairman Comer and even the Speaker of the House flat out lying and telegraphing loud and clear what they're going to do we need to pay attention.

What is our strategy to combat this? I need to hear every Dem near a microphone calling this a LIE/ I need to hear them calling Little Mikey Johnson a liar. The time for politics as normal is long gone. Sure this is ridiculous nonsense. But they hold the levers of power and they will stop at nothing.
