A Republican Finally Did It To Trump... - Really American



Really American host Corinne Straight breaks down how Republican Deidre Henderson has stood up for election security, since Trump's false claims that the 2020 election was "stolen." She has debunked claims about voter fraud and mail in ballots, making it clear that the lies that Trump and his administration have been telling about election fraud are baseless.

Since he was born in 1874, he stuck with the Party of Lincoln. But she had a wake-up call with President Reagan who none of the friends in my grandmother's "peace group" supported him. She asked me once what they would think if they knew she voted for Reagan - and all I could say was "don't look at me, Nana..." So she changed parties at age 90(!) and voted for President Clinton - twice!
