OK, perhaps "crushed" is overstating it a bit, but we're a bit giddy. Rep. Shri Thanedar, whose multiple articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump in his second term (along with former Attorney General Pam Bondi) accused him of "acts of tyranny" were deemed "idiotic" by no less than Rep. Jerry Nadler.
Thanedar, also known for his Sharpie eyebrows and wigs, was sent packing in Tuesday night's primary in Michigan, although he did receive a respectable 48 percent of the vote.
🚨 IT’S OFFICIAL: Dem. Rep. Shri Thanedar, who can barely speak English, has CONCEDED his primary, losing his seat in Congress

Apparently his constituents weren’t impressed by a toupee-wearing foreigner filing to impeach Trump over and over again.

I just don't understand how anyone could have voted for him in the first place.

Yes but he was defeated by a DSA member who will probably be worse: Donavan McKinney pic.twitter.com/MTs0fWgp1X

He lost to a commie. Its like replacing a gnat with a cockroach.

This is a frying pan to fire situation. The guy who beat him is just as insane as Shri.

We need Doug Powers to explain what's going on in Michigan.

Does this mean that @ShriThanedar has to give @RepMaxineWaters her wigs back?

I will miss his eyebrows. He was always like an old SNL skit.

These eyebrows?
JUST IN: Indian animal abuser Shri Thanedar, who defrauded investors and drove his first wife to suicide after using her for a green card, has been crushed in his primary.

The post continues:
… mammal that lives atop his head, Thanedar now joins Jasmine Crockett, Eric Swalwell, Al Green, Dan Goldman, and others in the unemployment line. Denaturalize and deport this loser now.
How this loon ever won and made it to the halls of Congress will remain one of the great mysteries our time.

The same voters who decided they wanted Thanedar to represent them in Congress have now picked a Democratic Socialist instead. And he'll get elected; and we'll have just one more Democratic Socialist in Congress.
