Trump Accuses Bill Barr and Mark Zuckerberg of Rigging the Election in Crazy Letter to the WSJ

The paranoia never ends with this guy.

By

In a furious letter published in the Wall Street Journal on Monday, former President Trump found a new focus for his election theft conspiracies. Taking issue with an editorial published in the WSJ which detailed Biden’s victory in Pennsylvania, Trump “corrected” the publication, saying that the race in PA was rigged.

That theory’s nothing new from him, but the faces behind it were. This time, Trump accused Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg and even his own Attorney General, Bill Barr.

Attorney General Bill Barr ordered U.S. Attorney Bill McSwain to stand down and not investigate election irregularities. Mark Zuckerberg of Facebook poured over $17 million to interfere in the Pennsylvania election, including $5.5 million on ‘ballot processing equipment’ in Philadelphia and $552,000 for drop boxes where the voting pattern was not possible.

Those claims have already been debunked in the past, as have all claims of fraud, irregularities, theft, malfeasance, or any other kind of suspicious activity alleged by Trump and the GOP in the 2020 election.

In fact, an immediate, non-partisan audit of the PA election confirmed the accuracy of the count to within a fraction of 1 percent.

Most of Trump’s grievances centered on turning “improbable” into “impossible.” But as we know from the 2016 election, when every model across the country showed Hillary Clinton winning by epic margins, improbable is far from impossible.

The fact of the matter is, it really doesn’t matter what your politics are. All you have to believe in is math in order to understand the outcome of the 2020 election. Apparently Trump and his pals in the GOP feel the same about basic arithmetic as they do about climate change, the crime rates of undocumented immigrants, vaccine efficacy, and possibly even the shape of the earth itself.

It’s time to move on, guys. You’re wasting time and taxpayer money, and while I know that’s what the Republican Party does best, we really do have more pressing issues to discuss right now.

And for the record, people are FURIOUS the Wall Street Journal even ran the letter, considering it’s full of lies:
