GOP Secretary of State Melts Down When Asked To Explain Bid to Throw Biden Off Ballot
Jay Ashcroft flopped when faced with the most dreaded predicament amongst grandstanding blowhards: a follow-up question
Missouri Secretary of State Jay Ashcroft’s attempt to justify his ludicrous threat to have President Joe Biden removed from the state’s electoral ballot spiraled into chaos over the most basic of questions: “How so?”
During a Monday interview with CNN’s Boris Sanchez, the Republican was asked how he justified his threats to have Biden removed from the state’s ballot in retaliation for recent attempts to remove Trump from state ballots on grounds that his actions in the aftermath of the 2020 election constitute insurrection. The constitutionality of such a removal will soon be reviewed by the Supreme Court.
“What would then be your justification for removing Joe Biden from the ballot in Missouri. Has he engaged in your mind in some kind of insurrection?” Sanchez asked.
“There have been allegations that he’s engaged in insurrection,” Ashcroft replied. He was then met with the most dreaded predicament amongst grandstanding blowhards: a follow-up question.
“How so?” Sanchez asked, prompting Ashcroft to demand that Sanchez stop interrupting him. “You can’t say something like that and not back it up,” Sanchez countered.
“You interrupted me before I could back it up,” a flustered Ashcroft complained. “Are you scared of the truth?”
Ashcroft got absolutely roasted holy Christ. "Duh duh duh huh what??? There have been allegations! I just don't know them"
Um um um... They're in Hunter Bidens laptop! And in Hilary's email! And uh... Pizzagate. Um... PEDOPHILES! VOTER FRAUD!
Sadly, I grew up in that state and I can tell you that a huge swath of the people that live there will see it the exact opposite.
I'm not surprised. I'm in Virginia and I see MAGAts argue that having the gall to ask why is in and of itself an admission of guilt.
"Bidens a traitor!"
"Why?"
"YOU KNOW WHY IF HE'S INNOCENT WHY YOU SO WORRIED ABOUT IT HUH?!"
"innocence is supposed to be a legal defense, but you're refusing to let somebody defend themselves even if you have no reason to think they did anything wrong - everybody should be worried!"
