Quote of the Day
“The suit seeks “accountability for brazen election interference,” alleging that “contrary to reality and defying credulity,” Selzer’s report of a three-point lead for Harris in “deep-red Iowa was not reality, it was election-interfering fiction.” The poll “was no ‘miss’ but rather an attempt to influence the outcome of the 2024 Presidential Election” by helping Democrats create “a narrative of inevitability.””
Last night, Trump’s lawyers filed suit in Polk County, Iowa, under the Iowa Consumer Fraud Ac. They did so against Selzer, the Des Moines Register, and the parent company of the Register, Gannett.
