‘What was I supposed to do?’

August 06, 2023 8:10 pm • Last Updated: August 06, 2023 8:10 pm

Maybe President Trump was right. Maybe there was fraud in the election. After being told that “all is going well; you're a shoo-in; you can't lose, he lost.” Reminds me of that line in the 1973 film, "THE STING." After Doyle Lonnegan swapped decks to guarantee the winning poker hand, Henry Gondorff, pulls the winning hand out from under him. Lonnegan then says to his guy, "What was I supposed to do, accuse him of cheating better than me in front of the others?" You never know when it comes to politics.
