Tempers rise, facts fade as Rudy Giuliani claims Michigan vote a 'con job'

[TexasTowelie]

LANSING — President Donald Trump’s personal attorney on Wednesday alleged a global conspiracy to swing the election for Democrat Joe Biden and urged Michigan’s Republican-led Legislature to try to overturn statewide results.

In a 4 1/2-hour hearing that concluded about 10:30 p.m. and was often tense and theatrical, Rudy Giuliani implored Michigan House members to “have the courage to say that certification that was done by your state is a complete phony.”

Giuliani at times commandeered the meeting, presenting his own witnesses and then questioning them about what he claimed with little evidence was “massive cheating” and a “con job” at the absentee ballot counting board in Detroit.

Committee Chair Matt Hall, R-Marshall, allowed lawmakers to ask each witness a single question, with no follow-ups. He gavelled down and shut off microphones for Democratic legislators who challenged that rule, and repeatedly urged the pro-Trump crowd not to shout or cheer during the testimony.

1. Unless you have evidence and enough of it, you have speculation.

Speculation don't cut it.

2. Aren't they also falsifying . . .

that North Korea through Maine port brought in illegal ballots? A 3 star General falsified that US soldiers went into Germany and obtained fake ballots (that was debunked by the Army). These people are nuts.

3. Man. I can't believe I live in this state and helped pay for this travesty.

I knew the Republican legislature was a bit over the top with idiots, but I had no idea they would go quit this low. I feel so sorry for the Democrats who had to participate in it. What a F'ing waste of time and money.

On the other hand, it certainly showed how bright and creative our fellow Republican citizens are. I'm so 'proud' of them.

I honestly thought the state was halfway sane. I see I'll have to re-think that.
