WI GOP senate candidate caught on tape saying nursing home residents are too near death to vote
Republican Eric Hovde, 60,
“I’m not going to spend my time talking about 2020,” said Mr Hovde, in audio obtained by the Heartland Signal.
“Do I believe the election was stolen? No, but did things happen in that election that were very troublesome? Absolutely, and I can point them out right here in Wisconsin. We had Zuckerbucks come into Democratic cities to push out — working with cities to push out Democratic votes.”
But, as well as using the derogatory phrase, Mr Hovde also took issue with the supposed number of nursing residents who voted in the 2020 election – suggesting that they are too close to death to vote.
“We had nursing homes, where the sheriff of Racine investigated, where you had 100 per cent voting in nursing homes. Well, if you’re in a nursing home, you only have a five, six-month life expectancy,” he said.
Eric Hovde has secured the endorsement of Donald Trump (Eric Hovde campaign website)
“Almost nobody in a nursing home is in a point to vote.”
