Joplin Globe editorial: Billy Long's campaign ad claim is false (he's just kissing up to Trump)


In an editorial in today's edition, the Joplin Globe criticized Seventh District Congressman Billy Long for his bonkers U. S. Senate campaign ad in which he says the 2020 presidential election was stolen from Donald Trump.

In his latest campaign ad, Long falsely claims “the Democrats rigged the election. ... I’m running for Senate to stop the insanity ... and stop the Democrats from stealing another election.”









Long offers no evidence to support his claims — there isn’t any. This has been rejected ad infinitum by investigations and court hearings at the local, state and federal levels.

He is of course after Donald Trump’s endorsement, as are his leading Republican rivals.

Somehow, the Globe editorial failed to mention that Long's campaign ad and his obvious effort to kiss up to the former president was pathetic.

It was pathetic.

This is probably my favorite article on this site, all because of those last two sentences.

This is mighty disrespectful of the sitting congressman.

Everyone knows Billy Long has more gravity than any other Missourian elected to high orfice!

Treefiddy anyone?
