It’s their superpower:
The result of New Jersey’s election for governor will be “legal and fair” no matter the outcome, Republican candidate Jack Ciattarelli said Thursday in his first comments since The Associated Press declared incumbent Democrat Phil Murphy the election’s winner.
Ciattarelli has not conceded the election.
New Jersey’s Murphy has won what the press portrays as a squeaker, almost illegitimate and certainly embarrassing, by a margin of 77,000 votes. The Great White Hope Glenn Youngkin, on the other hand, won his Virginia landslide victory of all victories by 79,000.
It must be nice not to care about hypocrisy or inconsistency. Maybe that’s what they all mean when they insist they are defending freedom —it’s freedom to have no principles. Sadly, I’m including much of the political press in that comment.
