There's a real fascist vibe to this One America News personality calming calling for the execution of potentially tens of thousands of Americans over fake voter fraud claims.

... the "election was stolen" given that Trump was never above 50% approval during his entire Presidency, the pre-election polls indicated he would lose AND the exit polls were once again in close agreement with the actual results?

To reach their level of wishful thinking surely takes YEARS of practice!

because they completely fail to comprehend how many Americans would have voted for a ham sandwich if they had run it against Donald Fucking Trump

according to Communications Director Alyssa Farah.

They fucking knew they were likely to lose and STILL smeared election workers and election officials.

Horrible people.

But, they're a propaganda outlet. They push what their viewers want to hear. The more they keep repeating the lie, the more the viewers believe it.

There was an OAN producer who was fired after revealing his coworkers didn't believe Trump's Big Lie, but they repeated it on the network anyway.

https://variety.com/2021/biz/news/oan-fires-producer-marty-golingan-1234954937/
Golingan had been a producer at OAN since 2016 and told the New York Times that the outlet had changed in recent years and moved further right during the Trump Administration. He recalled seeing a photo from the Capitol insurrection where someone held a flag with the OAN logo and admitted he worried that his work might have helped inspire the mob. The former producer also confessed that he and most of his colleagues did not believe the voter fraud claims peddled by the news channel.

...and then calling for the execution of thousands for that non-existent crime.

It would be funny if they weren't so close to taking control.

Not, a coup against the United States.

An election turns into a coup against the presidency.

These people don't want America. They want a king.

Also, welcome to the Enemies List, y'all.

He perfectly described the Orange Asshole, his family, Rudy Ghouliani, and every insurectionist piece of crap that stormed the Capitol on January 6th.

There was no large scale voter fraud. The few cases they've found so far, almost always implicated voters for TFG.

OAN is a dangerous and vile propaganda media outlet.

Of course, he gets it. Everything he says is bullshit.

But the 'believers' don't get it.

Hundreds, Thousands, Gazillions involved in the CONSPIRACY....and nobody has fessed up. Nobody has slipped up and told somebody by accident. Nobody has come forward to expose the grand scheme so they can get rich. What a tight-knit group those conspiracists are.

C'mon.....it's almost impossible for a group of twenty people to pull off a surprise birthday party for somebody.

His name is Pearson Sharp.

His brief bio also describes the 2018 chemical weapon attacks in Douma, Syria as "staged":

Which is what the Russian government asserted as well, going against the evidence from the USA, UK, France, etc.

I have a longtime Jewish e-mail friend in CT who'd probably know. She watches OAN much more than me, as if she's addicted to the horror of it now.

To take up arms against their neighbors, friends and family members for voting for Biden?

Sounds like it.
