“Either a new Election should immediately take place or the past Election should be decertified and the Republican candidate declared the winner.”
Donald Trump, 45th President of the United States, on October 15th, 2021, almost a full year after election day in 2020.
This guy.
Thankfully, Trump is literally doing all he can to ensure that the MAGAs don’t vote in 2022, or ’24 because the entire system is rigged against him. So why bother going out to vote? Why not just fight about it afterward? That’s what Trump does best, after all.
What brought this one? Glad you asked. According to Mediaite:
Trump is now glomming onto [1] claims of election fraud in Pima County, declaring falsely once again that “the election was Rigged and Stolen from the Republican Party in 2020, and in particular, its Presidential Candidate.”
He claimed that the Justice Department had this information since last November and didn’t act. You may remember that in December [2], Attorney General Bill Barr unequivocally stated, “To date, we have not seen fraud on a scale that could have affected a different outcome in the election.”
This would be a great time to remember that in the post-post-post election recounts, Arizona found that they had actually given Trump too many votes. I swear, this guy.
NEW!

And can I complain for a minute? Why is Liz Harrington allowed to have a Twitter? How is her tweeting Trump’s statements any different than him having a Twitter account? Seriously Twitter, you did your job when you removed Trump. It’s time to remove Harrington as well.
Speaking of Twitter, they didn’t take Trump’s statement very seriously, and are perfectly aware who won the 2020 election.
The findings in the charts seem to be that Biden, the candidate who didn't specifically discourage his supporters from voting by mail, got a higher share of the vote in places where more people voted by mail. https://t.co/wnv3vaF9Ug [5]

Let's be clear — there have been absolutely zero findings of election problems in Pima County last year. There have been some allegations that have not verified in any way. Neither of these things is remotely possible anyway. https://t.co/UQb13bRPH0 [7]

Oh Lord. We are back with a Shiva special pointing out that Republicans voted more on election day than by mail and pretending that early ballot drop offs aren't a thing and calling it anomalous.
Doesn't this get tiring after a while? https://t.co/bXKzPKQG8r [9]

Pima County conducted the most transparent and accessible election in our county's history. President Biden won Pima County. https://t.co/TB7mcvBsdU [11]

Clearly, the former president’s delusions and accusations remain alive and well.
The one question that remains is whether Republicans in the #AZSen [13] primary will reject this dangerous development, or back it like they did the Maricopa “audit.”https://t.co/H39HLq4SLU [14] https://t.co/aDrBr5pqXH [15]

At what point do the actions of this functioning being become recognized as a destabilizing force on democracy and not just the ravings of a sore loser? When do we get to hit the #sedition [19] button? When does @realLizUSA [20] reach a point where she says "No. That's a bridge too far." https://t.co/HumF0Fnlem [21]
