Queer turncoat and former ambassador to Germany Richard Grenell reaffirmed his support for Donald Trump Thursday morning in a comically weird press conference in Nevada.
As the Trump campaign continues to give out conflicting messages–screaming to stop the vote in certain states such as Pennsylvania while screaming to keep counting votes in a state like Nevada–former Acting Director of National Intelligence Grenell showed up in Nevada to encourage…something.
“Votes,” Grenell uttered with affected gravitas. “Ballots versus legal votes: that’s what we’re talking about. It’s unacceptable in this country.”

We think that was Grenell’s way of charging voter fraud in Nevada, for which there is no evidence. In any case, his remarks only get weirder from there. After stepping away from the microphone, and amid shouts of “What’s your name” from captive reporters, Grenell then issued an ever weirder addendum.
“Listen, you’re here to take in information, ok? Do your job,” Grenell sasses.
"What's your name?!?!

Given that the reporters in question were trying to “take in information,” it probably would have behoved Grenell to actually say something relevant. When pressed by MSNBC reporter Jacob Soboroff, both Grenell and Matt Schlapp rushed to a campaign bus when pressed over Trump campaign charges of voter fraud or a lack of poll observers. Officials in Nevada do have bipartisan vote watchers in place, and have not uncovered any evidence of voter fraud.

As one of the few gay Trump Administration appointees, Richard Grenell has become a high profile fixture of the campaign, frequently touting Trump’s “pro-LGBTQ” record, despite a wealth of evidence showing that Trump is the most anti-queer president in American history.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but aren’t “legal votes” cast on ballots?

“You’re here to take in information, ok?” Ok, well that might be why they’re asking this bitch what her name is.
TedV
They’re speaking gibberish; their words make no sense.
Doug
They’re so desperate right now they’ll say anything.

This guy needs a therapist who likes a challenge. It’s sad to hate oneself so much. Get help
barryaksarben
and yet he feels superior to regular gays. He thinks he should be our king when he is a sad queen who probably cries after he has sex. Now he is going to work for an anti gltb law group – that just screams that he has major serious mental health issues. I think the poor pos must have a tiny penis on top of everything else wrong with him

I for the life of me cannot understand how any rational thinking humam, after all the lies and misinformtion of the last 4 years, could justify a vote for Trump regardless of your political leanings. Good luck with your flawed version of “democracy” USA, hopefully this after this shit show you look into how true democracies operate and save yourselves any future pain.
molitor
Thanks Milton. You’re such a class act.

Some Twitter scholar said the Biden lead was proof American democracy was strong enough to withstand anything.
Yeah, that’s a great country: we can count. No mention of Republicans refusing to authorize voting security, a Florida hacker deleting a tenth of the votes, DeJoy delaying millions of mailed ballots, unknown Putin interference, and the Electoral College “some votes are meaningless and some really powerful” system.

You know.. that has been the problem from the beginning with the media and the Trump gang. They think that journalists are there “to take in information”.
But they are supposed to expose the truth.. not act as the Republican marketing department. And it’s only in the past few months that journalists have begun calling Trump & Co out as they spew falsehoods.
If the media were more discerning from the start, this might have been less exaggerated now.
barryaksarben
you are right. they just wanted the media to parrot their lies like FOX. well, that is not how real reporting works DICK
Gay Thomas
They are so used to giving Fox Snooze their talking points, they aren’t accustomed to dealing with real journalists.
Remember back in 2017 when Trump created an entire well-staffed “commission” to investigate voter fraud and then disbanded it a year later without any instances of voter fraud? This is what the con man does.
Cam
Journalists are supposed to be “Objective” not “Neutral”.
This guy is lying and was afraid to answer questions. That’s all that needs to be said.

Richard Grenell is a mediocre farce. He’s failed upwards repeatedly. Germany was so glad to be rid of his @ss they probably cheered for a week after he was flown home. He probably doesn’t deserve jail like the rest of the Don the Con gang, but then again, given his actions this past year, he should at least be subjected to a thorough Congressional investigation.
barryaksarben
The Germans kicked his ass out as he was so far up their right wing nazis he could have been Eva Braun. His fantasy sex life must be some twisted shit

RICHARD GRENNELL IS A LYING SACK OF SH*T WITH A SICK MIND.
