CNN: Republican Candidates For Governor Still Denying Legitimacy Of The 2020 Election
A report from the weekend from CNN detailed how "At least five of the 11 Republican nominees - Mark Robinson of North Carolina, Mike Braun of Indiana, Mike Kehoe of Missouri, Greg Gianforte of Montana and Patrick Morrisey of West Virginia - have supported efforts to overturn Biden's victory in 2020 or denied the legitimacy of that victory…"
CNN also noted how Republican gubernatorial candidate Kelly Ayotte "did not respond to CNN's requests for comment" to clarify whether she thought the 2020 election was stolen. After saying she couldn't support Trump during his 2016 election and writing in Mike Pence for president, Ayotte has spent this campaign going back on her word in order to fully embrace Trump and repeatedly refusing to answer basic questions about whether she believes former Vice President Mike Pence did "the right thing" when he certified the 2020 presidential election results.

"While Democrats are running to protect fundamental freedoms and help the middle class, Republican candidates for governor across the country are still focused on peddling dangerous lies about the 2020 election and undermining our free and fair elections," said DGA Communications Director Sam Newton. "The fact that these Republican candidates are pushing conspiracy theories and still refusing to acknowledge the legitimacy of the 2020 election is dangerous, disqualifying and deeply out of touch."
