Republicans who deny Joe Biden won the 2020 election are running for governor and secretary of state across the US

Election deniers are back on the ballot.

In most swing states, at least one major Republican candidate has questioned or outright denied the results of the 2020 US presidential election, which Donald Trump lost to Joe Biden.

While voters in swing states have previously largely rejected candidates who denied election results, Republicans running for statewide offices across much of the country are trying again.

These are the types of Karens that will never let their butthurt go. They were upset about Covid, about masks, about donnie's precious market being impacted by a pandemic, about social distancing, about schools being closed, about vaccines, about Fauci, and the cherry on top for the insult?

Biden beat their stupid clown. And on top of all the Qanon bullshit and the Covid bullshit and mask denialism and vaccine denialism and Karening the fuck out all during the pandemic, they had to concoct a bunch of bullshit to explain how their party's massive failure led to their failure in the election. And then their J6 terrorism and coup attempt failed.

And they are so very salty about it.
