The forgotten story of Republican Mike Conaway and how Mexico stole the election
On January 12, 2017, a week before Donald Trump took office, Texas Republican Rep. Mike Conaway called a press conference to report urgent news. The House Intelligence Committee member had unearthed another example of foreign actors intervening to tip the balance of a U.S. election.
As The Dallas Morning News reported, Conaway had turned up a plot every bit as insidious as the Russians.
Turner: "Harry Reid and the Democrats brought in
Mexican soap opera stars, singers and entertainers
who had immense influence in those communities into Las Vegas,
to entertain, get out the vote and so forth.
Those are foreign actors, foreign people, influencing the vote in Nevada.”
When he was asked whether he considered getting
a Mexican singer to croon a song was “on par with Russian cyber-intrusions,” Turner did not equivocate.
Turner: “Sure it is, it's foreign influence.”
What he was trying to do was diminish the obvious impact of the Russian intrusion,
to make it seem like just one of many, to excuse the idea of laughing it off.
And that’s exactly what Conaway, Devin Nunes, and others are still doing when they wave op-eds and Facebook posts to “prove” Ukrainian interference in the election.
