Does this guy really want us to believe he had no clue. If you read his quotes he thinks people in that town are stupid. IF YOU Elect him them you are morons.

“I’m not an election denier, number one. Number two … I went to D.C. to watch the president speak for his last time,” DiGiovanni said in a conversation with TPM on Wednesday. “Joe Biden’s obviously the president. … I’m not a conspiracy or whatever tinfoil hat guy. I’m just a regular guy. I’m not an election denier or any of that.”

So did he just break into the Capitol for funsies? Come on.

Yeah. If you just went to the Jan 06 speech and went home, fine. I mean it's shitty you supported a guy preaching a coup but not engaging it said coup is kind of the bare minimum to not be considered a traitor.

That sounds like a fun Thursday honestly

For many voters this will be a feature not a bug. He's not asking for forgiveness, he's signalling what he's really about.

[-] Usernameblankface@lemmy.world 9 points 10 months ago

Yes, not hoping they forget, but hoping they're on his side

[-] Hazdaz@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

Dirty Derby will consider that a positive thing.
