b"On today's 'BradCast':\\xa0 What did people think was going to happen after years of Republican lies about 'rigged elections'?\\xa0 A failed Republican state assembly candidate who is a Trump-supporting election denier was arrested in Albuquerque, NM as the ringleader in a series of mysterious shootings into the homes or offices of elected Democratic officials.
