Drudge, Limbaugh Fall for Twitter Joke About Postal Worker Destroying Trump Ballots

@RandyGDub said he ‘loves’ working at an Ohio post office where he rigs the election for Hillary Clinton. Right-wing media took him seriously.

“Postal Worker Brags About Destroying Trump Ballots,” read the Drudge headline linking to Hoft’s blog post, which stayed on the top of the site for several hours.


And Drudge readers weren’t the only ones to whom this joke was credulously regurgitated. Rush Limbaugh also thought it sounded legit, referred to RandyGDub’s workplace as the “Post Orifice,” and posited that the story wasn’t getting more traction because of liberal media bias.

“Let me ask you this,” Limbaugh said. “If a postal worker went on social media—I don’t care what it was, Facebook Twitter, LinkedIn, Reddit, you name it—and was bragging about destroying Hillary absentee ballots, do you think they’d be trying to hunt this guy down and put him in jail with the guy who made the video about the started Benghazi. They wouldn’t be stopping. They’d find this guy, they’d hunt him down, they’d give him to Marilyn Mosby and say ‘Have at it.’”
