Miller-Meeks won her seat in Iowa's 2nd Congressional District by just six votes in one of the closest - and most viciously contested - House elections in a year that had its share of them.
Now, her opponent, Democrat Rita Hart, wants House Democrats to overturn the election results and expel Miller-Meeks from office - something I was informed quite recently, with all the brouhaha about you-know-who, was a Very Bad Thing.
It's so closely connected to the Democrats that it represents half of the Democrats on the House Administration Committee, according to Fox News - a huge conflict of interest, Republicans on the committee say.
In a Friday letter to House Administration Committee chair Zoe Lofgren, committee GOPers said "[i]n the election contests currently before us, Mr. Elias simultaneously represents Members of the Committee, the triers of fact and law, and parties to these contests, an arrangement clearly prohibited by attorney ethics rules and obligations.
"Rule 1.7 of the American Bar Association's Model Rules of Professional Conduct clearly prohibit an attorney from engaging in representation that involves 'a concurrent conflict of interest,'" the letter read. "Such a conflict exists here: You, Mr. Aguilar, and Ms. Scanlon serve as triers of fact and law on the tribunal charged with deciding election contests, and Mr. Elias represents you; Ms. Hart and Ms. Underwood are parties to election contests before the Committee, and Mr. Elias represents them."
Again, what's interesting is that a party that was fully behind states counting their ballots by their own rules during the 2020 election is suddenly determined to decide what ballots Iowa can count in this race.
"They were complaining because Republicans wouldn't tell people that Biden won the election on November 4, the day after the election, and now they're playing this game? It just doesn't add up," said Republican Iowa Sen. Charles Grassley.
It's becoming increasingly difficult to discern fact from fiction, and unfortunately the media has a strong bias. They spin stories to make conservatives look bad and will go to great lengths to avoid reporting on the good that comes from conservative policies. There are a few shining lights in the media landscape-brave conservative outlets that report the truth and offer a different perspective. We must support conservative outlets like this one and ensure that our voices are heard.
