: These stories offer rare peeks behind the curtain, letting us know what prominent figures genuinely believe when they’re being unguarded, assuming the public won’t know what they’re saying.
Talking Points Memo, which obtained the text messages, has published a series of reports on the revelations, includingRep. Rick Allen is not one of the better-known figures in the extended universe of former President Trump’s political allies. However, based on text messages obtained by TPM, Allen is one of the members of Congress who worked most aggressively behind the scenes to reverse Trump’s loss in the 2020 election.
But the GOP congressman, who had no idea that the public would later see the texts, not only expected the Trump White House to take his bizarre theories seriously, it also seemed that Allen sincerely believed his own nonsense. This wasn’t an example of a politician posturing for the cameras, hoping to exploit confused members of the Republican base. The Georgian’s text messages suggest he thought his weird ideas had actual merit.
there were secret Italian satellites rigging American voting machines and the Trump-appointed CIA director was in cahoots with the British.
