Tuesday night, mere hours after Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith (R-MS) won re-election, President Donald Trump seemed to have his mind on a different race as he penned a cryptic tweet about Florida’s Broward County election official Brenda Snipes.

While the tweet seems bizarre on its face, it seems to be related to a picture circulating everywhere from Mike Huckabee’s Twitter account to Roger Stone Jr.’s Instagram to the neo-Nazi website The Daily Stormer, as spotted by Mediaite.

Snipes came under scrutiny during the 2018 senator and governor races in Florida, during which Broward County voters lodged complaints about difficulty getting to a polling place and which ultimately resulted in recounts plagued by broken machines and missed deadlines.

Snipes submitted her resignation on November 19.

  3. They made a book once of witty things JFK had written and said. Once in France he introduced himself as “the man who accompanied Jacqueline Kennedy to Paris.” There will be no such book for this one.

  4. One would have thought that the 4chan crew had someone with better Photoshop skills than that, but I guess they’re busy with other things.

  5. So, they won that race, and no voting fraud happened, so all those attacks on Brenda were just slander and yet, they continue the attacks.
