Just wondering if anyone else objected to that 60 Minutes segment.

Started with, "Here's a Wisconsin Republican election official saying Biden won the election, and all the claims to the contrary are absurd!"

Ended with, "Here's that same Wisconsin Republican election official saying Donald Trump is the leader of the Republican Party, and she will happily vote for him again. It's just that people should stop saying the elections are rigged."

Ummm.....

No line drawn to point that out as ironic, nor any attempt to underline her remark as rational. Just odd.

No insight offered, either as:

- "How ironic that she still believes the 'stop the steal' persona!"

Nor as,

- "Indeed, it is important that the integrity of the election stands!"

Can't have it both ways.

5. All Republicans from Wisconsin are completely full of shit and should not be listened to.

Used to be claiming our side was just as bad. Now it means the other side is as good as we are. I missed the flattery of it though.

10. Introducing a falsehood as a legitimate subject makes it a working narrative.
