Aww, poor Jenna Ellis! She went along and spewed the Big Lie everywhere she went, just like her boss, TFG. But unlike him, she got punished for it. As part of an agreement, she admitted to the made several statements that we bald faced lies. In exchange, she was censured:
In an opinion accepting a censure agreement between Yates and Ellis, Large noted that Ellis has agreed that her statements about the election being stolen were misrepresentations, which he said were made “with at least a reckless state of mind.” Ellis also agreed that she, “through her conduct, undermined the American public’s confidence in the presidential election, violating her duty of candor to the public,” Large wrote, adding that “a selfish motive” and “a pattern of misconduct” were aggravating factors in the case.
Yates’ complaint cited 10 misrepresentations by Ellis. On Nov. 20, 2020, for example, Ellis made stolen-election claims on Maria Bartiromo’s show on Fox Business and Sean Spicer’s “Spicer & Co.” show.
“We have affidavits from witnesses, we have voter intimidation, we have the ballots that were manipulated, we have all kinds of statistics that show that this was a coordinated effort in all of these states to transfer votes either from Trump to Biden, to manipulate the ballots, to count them in secret,” Ellis falsely said on Bartiromo’s show.
Diaper Donny won’t be happy about this, but don’t expect it to slow him down from repeating The Big Lie ad nauseum, just as he has been for the past three years.
The thing I would want to know is whether Ellis really is admitting that she lied or if she sees it as having to take one for the team and only doing it to get it over with. If I were a gambling man, I would have to put the house on the latter.
