GOP Rep. Riggleman Unloads On Republican Colleagues, Trump

Sunday, November 29, 2020

Rep. Denver Riggleman (R-Va.) pulled no punches against President Trump and his fellow Republicans in Congress in an interview with Forbes, accusing them of a "massive grift" in refusing to acknowledge the results of the election and claiming Trump appeals to groups that are "anti-Semitic" and "anti-American."

He's been voted out.

No room for morals and/or ethics in the modern GOP.

...There was a time in Denver Riggleman's life when he sat on the banks of a creek that reeked of dead fish and peered through night-vision goggles into the thick of the Olympic National Forest.

He was looking for Bigfoot.

Or at least, others in his group were. Riggleman, a nonbeliever who was then a National Security Agency defense contractor, had come along for the ride, paying thousands of dollars in 2004 to indulge a lifelong fascination: Why do people -- what kind of people " believe in Bigfoot?

Now in one of his last acts as a Republican congressman from Virginia, Riggleman is asking the same questions of supporters of QAnon and deniers of President-elect Joe Biden's victory....

He looks to be well fed. Was he in long enough to "grift" a lifelong retirement courtesy of us taxpayers?

I put in some research in POTUS elections in history and lawsuits are filed going back at least 150 years. So, borrowing from the Liberal playbook, one could easily surmise that contesting an election is American. And considering Dems used the phrase "Not my President" for four years, they have absolutely no leg to stand on and are just as absurd as Reps are. All the evidence is out there. Just takes objectivity. Try it. It's fun! And it actually HELPS America, unlike what both sides have been doing for so long.

Sooo.... It appears that Mr. Riggleman was only emboldened to speak out AFTER he lost his race. Way to lead from behind there, Riggy.

Lawsuits are one thing.

Tell me, in all your "research", how many candieates over the last 150 years have said the whole election was a fraud, there were fake ballots, it was stolen, and the opposition was cheating, and the results shouldn't count?

And how many of those said before the election that if they didn't win, that means it was a fraud and they'd refuse to concede?

Reminder: Rep. Denver Riggleman was not tired enough of Trump's massive grift to vote for impeachment. He's just another spineless republican who only decided to say something after he got pushed out.

How many of those 150 years of lawsuits was part of a subversive/traitorous plot by mental midgets to overthrow the entire constitutional democracy of the United State?

"I put in some research in POTUS elections in history and lawsuits are filed going back at least 150 years."

Yeah, sure you did. Laughable.
