Mayra Flores
« on: June 15, 2022, 07:39:04 PM »
Yesterday (June 14) a Special Election was held to fill the vacancy in the 34th U. S. Congressional District of Texas ( generally South Texas). The winner was a little known political neophyte named Mayra Flores.

The significance of Ms. Flores' win was that she became the first Mexican born woman to be elected to the U.S. Congress.

And since I know that many MU Scoopers are staunch advocates of electing minority candidates to positions of power, how about a big Scoop standing ovation for Ms. Flores' and her achievement. Breaking through yet another glass ceiling.

Damnedest thing, though, nary a mention of this on some cable news programs and other media outlets.

Oh well, join me in wishing Congresswoman Flores a long, long, long successful career.

Odd.  A rudimentary google search on my phone indicated stories on all the major news platforms.

Yep. Pretty much whenever anyone says “it’s weird that one side didn’t cover this” it is easily shown to be false. It was all over the place today.

Has to be bittersweet, however.  She’s part of the Great Replacement.

What-----no enthusiasm. No congratulations to Ms. Flores' on this notable achievement.

I'm disappointed in some of you guys.

Damnedest thing, though, nary a mention of this on some cable news programs and other media outlets.

This is like the 7th time in the last month that a poster has claimed the media isn't covering something only to be proven wrong with a 2 second google search. How many times do y'all need to be wrong before you say "huh, the media actually does a pretty good job covering stuff"?

Who on CNN or MSNBC interviewed her and/or congratulated her on her barrier breaking achievement. If either of those channels had her live, I missed it.

Maybe it is political party affiliation that MSNBC and CNN were cool towards.

Seems more significant that she's a full-blooded QAnon adherent.  You shouldn't celebrate that sickness. In poor taste.

At least she doesn't eat babies. I guess that is a plus.

Fascinating to see that instead of acknowledging more than one person can share similar viewpoints, it’s much easier to just pretend they are all the same person. Y’all have no lives.

Just another dangerous Gohmert/Greene/Gaetz/Boebert/Cawthorn far-far-far-right-wing extremist who supports cop-killing coup attempts against the U.S. government and who bends the knee to the coup's king.

Yes, she was.  She’ll be one of many Qanon morons elected.
