BREAKING NEWS – San Antonio, Texas – In a blow to leftist Democrats, Texas congressional candidate Jessica Cisneros — who was endorsed by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y. — has lost in a recount for her party’s nomination.
Incumbent Rep. Henry Cuellar, D-Texas, faced Justice Democrats-endorsed Cisneros in a tight runoff election that was too close to call for weeks, leading to a recount request from Cisneros, which concluded that Cuellar not only won, but had a few more votes than initially reported.
“We always knew this was an uphill battle,” Cisneros said in a statement conceding to Cuellar. She blamed “a corrupt political machine, Republican-funded Super PACs, the Koch brothers, private prisons, Big Oil, the Chamber of Commerce, Area 51, Wile E. Coyote, the Roadrunner, Colonel Sanders, Ed Sullivan, and Johnny Quest.” She also added, “That empty-headed loud mouth Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez didn’t help matters either!”
