Jenna Ellis is perhaps best known for conspicuously side-eyeing Rudy Giuliani as the last remnants of his eternal soul seeped from his sphincter into the blessed ether, leaving the dusty husk of Twiddle-Knobs Nosferatu behind to imperil Western democracy. She’s almost as well known for being part of the Trump legal effort that grievously embarrassed the ex-pr*sident—and the world’s most powerful democracy—with a series of feckless court challenges.
But somehow stepping on the same rake over and over again in a long-shot bid to return a venal tub of suet to power makes you a “winner,” whereas being the greatest gymnast in the history of the sport lands you squarely in the “loser” category—as does winning a presidential election with the highest vote total in history.
So after President Joe Biden presented Presidential Medals of Freedom to 17 awardees, including Olympic and world champion gymnast Simone Biles and two-time Women’s World Cup champion Megan Rapinoe, Ellis decided it was the perfect time to shiv irony in the kidneys with her Big Lots participation trophy.
For the nontweeters:
ELLIS: “Fittingly, Biden awarded his presidential medals to fellow losers, Biles and Rapinoe.”
Okay, define “loser.” Because I would think getting 7 million fewer votes than your opponent and then crying about it nonstop for 20 months would certainly put you in the conversation. As would filing more than 60 election lawsuits and losing all but one of them.
And yes, people—including celebrated non-loser Martina Navratilova—noticed the irony.
Meanwhile, Biles herself noticed Ellis’ floundering attempt to stick the landing and was not at all impressed.
