What? A Republican big shot threw a public temper tantrum at a voter registration office? Imagine that!
This time it happened in Spartanburg, South Carolina. Rick Beltram, head of the county GOP, challenged the vote of a 74-year-old woman, claiming her signature didn't match. One of the poll workers didn't appreciate the local Republican chairman interfering with someone's right to vote, and a complaint was made with state election officials.
Beltram claimed a local Democratic legislator gave doughnuts and bottled water to voters standing in line during early voting. But it turned out this wasn't true. To put it less politely, it was an outright lie.
Despite this, Beltram continued playing the victim. He complained that "all the black ladies ganged up on me." Republicans say strange things when they're losing, don't they?
He tried to intimidate elderly voters and lied about a political foe giving out doughnuts, yet he's claiming he's the victim?
How babyish can you possibly get?
