Trump Brutally Scams His Own Followers with Herschel Walker Fundraising Email
Donald Trump has been caught scamming his own supporters again with a fundraising email that was ostensibly to support Herschel Walker’s runoff race in Georgia. Trump’s Save America PAC by default was having contributions go 90% into Trump’s coffers and only 10% into Walker’s election. In order to change the allocation, donors would have to click a link that would reveal who gets what percent of the money. After this was highlighted, Trump’s committee changed the allocation to an even 50/50 split. Walker’s campaign has been warning about fundraising tactics like these, which is insane since Trump is supposed to be one of Herschel’s biggest allies in the race. These scam tactics are typical for Trump and he’ll continue doing them for as long as he can get away with it. The ex-president doesn’t actually care about these other candidates and his own supporters beyond their ability to prop him up and get him back in the White House.
Insane Candidate Kari Lake LOSES, TRIGGERED
Kari Lake, the Trump-backed election-denying Republican candidate, has lost her bid to become Arizona’s next governor. Last night, news outlets called the narrow race nearly a week after Election Day. Democrat Katie Hobbs came out on top with 50.4% of the vote, besting Lake’s 49.6%. Kari said repeatedly during her campaign that the only way she could lose the election was if Democrats rigged it. She carried with her an aura of arrogant confidence throughout the campaign and as the votes were being counted which makes her defeat all the more vindicating. Lake has been relatively quiet on Twitter ever since the election was called. She did, however, post, “Arizonans know BS when they see it.” Perhaps Kari will join in with Trump and call for a new election in Arizona as she doesn’t seem like the type to go down quietly.

Trump Demands 2022 Re-Do in Sick "Electron" Rant
Donald Trump is demanding a new election in Arizona following the losses of Kari Lake in the governor’s race and Blake Masters in the Senate race. Thanks to a misspelling, however, he’s actually claiming that Democrats stole the “electron” instead of the “election.” Trump wrote on Truth Social, “So in Maricopa County they’re at it again. Voting Machines in large numbers didn’t work, but only in Republican districts. People were forced to wait for hours, then got exhausted or had other things to do and left the voting lines by the thousands. Even Kari Lake was taken to a Liberal Democrat district in order to vote. Others weren’t so lucky. This is a scam and voter fraud, no different than stuffing the ballot boxes. They stole the Electron from Blake Masters. Do Election over again!” The Trumpian playbook has become totally predictable: when a Republican wins a race it’s because of him, and when they lose it’s because Democrats have rigged the election.
From yesterday’s show:
RED WAVE? Democrats Have Won the Senate
Over the weekend, Democrats secured their majority in the Senate for another two years with wins by Mark Kelly in Arizona and Catherine Cortez Masto in Nevada. There will be a runoff election between Raphael Warnock and Herschel Walker next month in Georgia, however, even if Warnock loses, Democrats will have fifty senators and Vice President Kamala Harris will act as the tie-breaking vote. This is devastating news for Republicans who were expecting a big red wave and who were slightly favored to take the Senate going into Election Day. Winning the upper chamber is crucial even if Democrats ultimately lose the House of Representatives. This is because they’ll be able to get Biden’s executive and judicial nominees confirmed without having to worry about Republican obstruction. This is undoubtedly a huge win for the left and yet another embarrassment for the right.
