MO SoS Threatens Kicking Biden Off 2024 Ballot As Retaliation

We can chalk up Jay Ashcroft, Missouri’s secretary of state and 2024 gubernatorial candidate as another Republican putting MAGA fascism over democracy and country.

NBC News reported on Ashcroft's retaliatory poutrage over Colorado and Maine ruling that Donald Trump is disqualified from running for president again:

"What has happened in Colorado & Maine is disgraceful & undermines our republic," Missouri Secretary of State Jay Ashcroft wrote on the social media site X on Friday. "While I expect the Supreme Court to overturn this, if not, Secretaries of State will step in & ensure the new legal standard for @realDonaldTrump applies equally to @JoeBiden!"

Never mind that President Joe Biden did not try to overthrow an election or incite an insurrection. Ashcroft is all in on drumming up a flimsy pretext.

Asked how he would disqualify Biden from the ballot for insurrection, Ashcroft said that he's "let an invasion unstopped into our country from the border." Vice President Kamala Harris, he added, "supported people that were rebelling against the U.S. government during the riots in 2020," referring to racial justice protests in the wake of George Floyd's murder.
