Sen. Bob Casey Jr. (D-Pa. ) has finally conceded the Pennsylvania Senate race to Senator-elect Dave McCormick, but not without one last attempt to paint himself as a champion of democracy.

Casey’s conversation, which he posted to X on Thursday night, was less a charming leave and more an exercise in self-congratulation and revision history, underscoring the pretty duplicity that marked his party’s post-election pranks.
Casey began, claiming to be compassionate while ignoring that his agreement came days after the contest was called for McCormick, when he called him to congratulate him on winning the state to represent Pennsylvania in the US Senate.  ,
Settlers can proceed as soon as the primary ballot count is finished, knowing that their voices were heard, regardless of whether the vote was cast for the first or the last, he continued. ” This culture was one of the closest in our Commonwealth’s past, decided by less than a third of a level”.
Casey clung to his party’s legitimate manoeuvres and tell calls even as he conceded defeat, acting as if he were some kind of pro-democracy stooge trying to steal an vote.
Casey’s arrogant recalling of his administration’s attempts to “enfranchise citizens” was particularly rich. More than 1, 000 participants assisted more than 6, 000 Pennsylvanian voters in making a plan to fix minor problems on their ballots so that their vote may be counted, according to him with pride. Translation: His staff worked extra to” solution” votes in Democrat strongholds, hoping to find enough votes to change the poll results.

Casey was determined to discredit his team’s ability to win legal battles, arguing that their efforts to win the election were merely a campaign ploy by the shamed legislator, not a desperate attempt to save his political career.
We made certain those tones were heard, and we stood up against attempts to silence and alienate citizens in every state, starting with the one hundred-year-old woman who voted in every election since she was eligible until the 19-year-old in Montgomery County who voted for her first day.
Then he said,” Nearly 1, 000 eligible voters in Philadelphia will have their votes counted despite efforts to throw them out thanks to our work in the courts.” This work mattered, and I’m grateful to the many people who helped with this effort”.
However, Casey omitted the fact that the Pennsylvania Supreme Court had declared the ballots to be unlawful when they were being counted in secret. What a joke.
He ended his concession speech by thanking his family, campaign manager, campaign staff, as well as his Senate staff. I want to thank the people of Pennsylvania for giving me the opportunity to hold the positions of state treasurer, auditor general, and senator for 28 straight years.

He added,” Every day I served in public office, I fought for Pennsylvania workers, our children, seniors, people with disabilities, and our veterans”.
It’s such a shame he had to end his Senate career in disgrace.
During my time in office, I have been guided by an inscription on the Finance Building in Harrisburg:” All public service is a trust, given in faith and accepted in honor”.
Thank you for your trust in me for all these years, Pennsylvania. It has been the honor of my lifetime. pic. twitter.com/RSXEFwdge8

Good riddance, you sore loser.
