Flag waver was just another democrat FBI AGENT attempting to discredit a legitimate citizen running for office.

True colors?

She must be so pissed

They would have been fine with a NAZI flag, after all the race in Georgia isn't over

What are doing in IRAN ?

can you call it a protest when nobody shows up?

So even election-denying ultra MAGAs now admit the Confederate flag is racist. Good to know.

Interesting that republicans love to say the democrats started the KKK but refuse to acknowledge that white supremacists overwhelmingly support Republicans. No neo-confederates show up in support of democrats nowadays.

Grant was a better general than traitor Lee. Lost Cause Myth is the US’s biggest lie

If so, wouldn't that have impacted both candidates proportionally?

Donald Trump Drags Kari Lake Into His Latest Conspiracy SpielThe claim comes as Lake has refused to concede in the state’s gubernatorial race despite her opponent Katie Hobbs’ win earlier this month. Democratic Freemason criminals rigged the election again. Don’t act surprised I think the popularity of that strategy has probably reached the limit of its shelf life Funny how when Stacey 'I wuz robbed' Abrams spends years harping on her stolen election or Crooked H writes an actual book about her loss & tweeting incessantly about 'The Russians,' & 'illegitimate' president Trump, they aren't labeled 'election deniers.'
