Conservative firebrand Wayne Allyn Root unleashed a blistering critique of Democratic election victories this week, branding the winning candidates as “extreme, insane & radical” while reviving unsubstantiated claims of electoral fraud. The Gateway Pundit columnist made the remarks during his Saturday show “America’s Top Ten Countdown” on Real America’s Voice.
‘They Are Who We Thought They Were’
Root echoed his frequent allegation that Democrats engaged in election theft, though he provided no new evidence to support the claim. His rhetoric mirrored the infamous 2006 “They are who we thought they were” rant by former NFL coach Dennis Green, applying it to the political arena.
The commentary comes amid ongoing Republican challenges to election procedures in several states, though courts have repeatedly dismissed fraud allegations stemming from the 2020 election. Root’s show frequently amplifies such claims despite their rejection by election officials across party lines.
Programming Shifts and Expanded Platform
Root promoted his growing media presence during the segment, including his new nightly show “America Speaks” and the rebranded “WAR ZONE LIVE” daily podcast. The commentator has expanded his airtime significantly since 2020, capitalizing on conservative audiences skeptical of election integrity.
His programming mixes political analysis with call-in segments, creating an interactive platform for like-minded viewers. The shows air across multiple platforms including YouTube, cable TV, and The Gateway Pundit’s website.
