Sorry to keep talking about Trump’s election interference (integrity?) speech–a speech that, like lots of other people (including Republican members of Congress), I proudly and courageously did not watch. For the most part, reactions to the speech have been muted and unenthusiastic among Republicans–and those are the positive reactions. In fact, according to the New York Times, Fox and Friends pretty much ignored it. Even the aptly named conspiracy-theorist, Laura Loomer, questioned whether there was anything new in the speech.
A bit off-topic, but can we find another way of referring to Laura Loomer? She’s not a “theorist” of any kind. Max Weber was a theorist. Laura Loomer is no Max Weber. (Bet you never thought you’d read that sentence anywhere, right?)
So the speech was a big nothing burger. As Representative Bacon said, “Re-litigating 2020 is a mistake. It’s a losing issue, and most people that are reasonable and aren’t so clouded by partisanship know it’s baloney.”
And that, my friends, is the real point of this blog post: Bacon said it’s baloney.
Thank you for your attention in this matter.
