Wait, What? (Erik Aadland Edition)
4 min read
Yeah, not so significantly
We had been taking our time, catching up on our political news currently, when a sentence just achieved out and socked us in the confront like a person of Hiedi Heidi Ganahl’s out-of-left-industry batshit crazy theories on education and learning reform.
Sandra Fish did a comparison of the candidates in CO-07 for The Colorado Solar that was largely a “she suggests this, he states that” form of piece. Democrat Brittany Pettersen and Republican Erik Aadland stated their positions on a selection of challenges (admittedly, “explained” is a very generous time period when it comes to Aadland’s policy proposals). Aadland also generally took the prospect to flat-out lie on a number of instances.
This isn’t the detail that smacked us in the deal with, but for case in point:
The Sunlight questioned Pettersen and Aadland, who have every single talked about their mothers’ battles with opioid dependancy, how Congress could tackle drug dependancy and restoration.
Aadland falsely claimed that Pettersen “started a clean up injection web site.”…
…Aadland didn’t offer you a federal answer to the situation.
Kudos to Fish for pointing out listed here that Aadland’s text were not at all correct. Sad to say, Fish did not generally consider the time to, um, “correct” Aadland’s misperceptions.
The big smackaroo came at the stop of the Sunshine posting, in reaction to the next query: “Did Joe Biden legitimately get the 2020 presidential election?”
Simply because she is not a lunatic, Pettersen answered that certainly, she thinks Biden legitimately won the 2020 election. And then it was Double-A’s flip to reply:
Aadland acknowledged that Biden “is the genuine president. I have reported that a lot of occasions.”
The Sunlight asked about studies that he mentioned the election was illegitimate. In June, he told a Republican team the election was “undermined by fraud, how they were being corrupted, and now how we have an illegitimate federal government in electrical power.” The Washington Write-up involved him on a list of election deniers.
“I stated it was rigged,” he explained to The Sunlight. “That’s different.”
To start with of all, this is finish horseshit from Aadland. Dating back to June 2021, when the political entire world was initial learning of his existence, Aadland has publicly questioned the integrity of the 2020 Presidential election at the very least seven distinct moments. As a short while ago as June 21, 2022, Aadland told members of the Mountain Republicans Club that he was anxious by how the 2020 elections have been “undermined by fraud, how they have been corrupted, and how we have an illegitimate governing administration in power.”
The Sunshine manufactured the pursuing correction afterwards in the working day:
By using The Colorado Sunlight
Okay, now that we have that very first aspect out of the way, let us examine the rhetorical punch to the facial area we mentioned at the major:
“I said it was rigged. That is unique.”
Whaaaaaaaaa?????
If you feel that the 2020 Presidential election was rigged…but you ALSO assert that President Biden is “the legit president,” then there might be many text at participate in right here that have basically eluded your comprehension.
If you are certain that you comprehend the this means of all the words and you Even now imagine the election was rigged AND you consider the winner of that election is “the genuine president”…then we are unfortunate to inform you that you are most most likely an absolute fucking moron.
Critically. We have had it with these election denier candidates who make it to the Normal Election and attempt pretending that they didn’t truly problem the integrity of the Presidential election. If you truly believe that the 2020 Presidential election was rigged, then very own it. If very little else, possessing it is a gazillion instances superior than producing it appear as nevertheless you are as well stupid to fully grasp straightforward thoughts that need fundamental logical reasoning.
“I mentioned it was rigged. That is diverse.”
Aadland is familiar with that it is poor for his election hopes if persons know he is a entire-on “Big Lie” believer. Why do we know he knows this? Simply because HE Reported IT HIMSELF. Out loud. In general public. In front of a digital camera.
So what does Aadland do when confronted with this dilemma by the Sunlight? He reaffirms, for all intents and applications, that he is both an election denier AND a entire goddamned idiot. Frankly, the two are likely a person in the exact in any case, but you get what we’re throwing down right here.
In an election cycle that has been unusually dumb, Erik Aadland persevered and in some way located a way to make #copolitics even dumber.
