Washington, D.C. – We’re as confused by the headline as you are. Why would potential Senate candidate Cindy Axne invoke the Civil War while defending her support for the Corrupt Politicians Act and its federal takeover of elections?

Here’s what Rep. Cindy Axne recently said during a town hall back home in Iowa

“And unfortunately, tactics are being taken right now that are doing those two things,” Axne said. “So, you know, I certainly want states to be able to do what they need to do for fair and safe elections. But if we’re seeing dismantling of that in the states, then it is time that we look at that at a federal level because we’re all in this together.”

The Iowa Democrat then invoked the Civil War.

“If we don’t work together, we become the country that we’re not supposed to be,” Axne said. “And, as a matter of fact, people who are tearing that down, you know, we fought for these things in the Civil War.”

The Civil War was fought over whether or not the institution of slavery should exist in America, not election integrity issues.

Cindy Axne might be hoping to earn a promotion to the Senate next year but pushing Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer’s federal takeover of Iowa’s elections won’t help her get there. Iowans will soundly reject her Not So Primetime Ready performance as well as her preference for Systemic Socialism.
