Jay Ashcroft flopped when faced with the most dreaded predicament amongst grandstanding blowhards: a follow-up question
Missouri Secretary of State Jay Ashcroft’s attempt to justify his ludicrous threat to have President Joe Biden removed from the state’s electoral ballot spiraled into chaos over the most basic of questions: “How so?”
During a Monday interview with CNN’s Boris Sanchez, the Republican was asked how he justified his threats to have Biden removed from the state’s ballot in retaliation for recent attempts to remove Trump from state ballots on grounds that his actions in the aftermath of the 2020 election constitute insurrection. The constitutionality of such a removal will soon be reviewed by the Supreme Court.
“What would then be your justification for removing Joe Biden from the ballot in Missouri. Has he engaged in your mind in some kind of insurrection?” Sanchez asked.
“There have been allegations that he’s engaged in insurrection,” Ashcroft replied. He was then met with the most dreaded predicament amongst grandstanding blowhards: a follow-up question.
“How so?” Sanchez asked, prompting Ashcroft to demand that Sanchez stop interrupting him. “You can’t say something like that and not back it up,” Sanchez countered.
“You interrupted me before I could back it up,” a flustered Ashcroft complained. “Are you scared of the truth?”
You can’t tell me this clown is not inbred. Or at least the progeny of some sort of greasy-haired weasel creature.
His dad was afraid of the nipples on statues.
I miss the days when he was the most embarrassing Attorney General J. Ashcroft in the country.
I thought this was the same guy and was thinking he aged well
In his dad’s defense, you gotta be careful with those or you’ll put your eye out.

He’s the son of former (G.W. Bush) U.S. Attorney General John Ashcroft… soooo…

I knew asscraft was involved with this somehow.
There it is. Was wondering if there was any relation, to the point where I had half a mind to look it up myself. Thanks for saving me the trouble.
It’s nepotism and cronyism all the way down.
OOOOhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Right!
Well fucking hell, Missouri.
I first mistakenly parsed your sentence as saying Ashcroft is the son of BOTH G.W. Bush and John Ashcroft, like some kind of satanic love child or something, lol. What’s really bad is that my brain didn’t just puke it back up immediately but spent a second or two there, like, yeah, I can kinda see that . . .
Brutal imperialist torture lawyer, as it happens.
Helped get us fucked in Iraq & Afghanistan shit weasel.
Nature does in fact make mistakes.
