While Rep. Kevin McCarthy has failed for a fifth time to accrue the votes to become Speaker of the House, independent journalist Aaron Rupar has a reminder that McCarthy is an election denier because he voted to reject the election results “after the insurrection on January 6.”

Rupar’ed again… Claiming Trump had won while legal challenges remained and before the Electoral College had voted was not only entirely legitimate but also good politics (see Hillary Clinton’s advice to Joe Biden). Democrats claimed (and still do) Trump was never really elected. https://t.co/8oj358UMVz

Voting to send back results from two states does not make one an "election denier," unless you are willing to extend that definition to Democrats who tried similar votes, such as the chair of the Jan 6 Committee and several other members. McCarthy does not deny Biden won in 2020. https://t.co/Uw0WEzGIZ4

What Rupar doesn’t mention is that the House Democrats’ unanimous choice for speaker, Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, is also an election denier:

#RussianHacking? As in, Russians hacked the voting machines and altered the vote total? A lot of Democrats still believe that, even though the voting machines weren’t hooked up to the internet.
There was NO INSURRECTION!

Even more tweets from Jeffries saying the 2016 election was illegitimate and we had a fake president in the Oval Office.

Do the Democrats know they’re supporting an election denier for Speaker? Will Rupar investigate?
