Most likely, Donald Trump is going to lose. The fix is in, and there is really no way to stop it, no matter how blatant it is. The media is covering up and even excusing the election issues, and too many in the GOP are going right back to their Squishy way
‘This is getting insane’: Republicans break from Trump immediately after wild and false speech
Republican lawmakers on Thursday broke away from President Donald Trump’s grievances towards the 2020 US presidential election, and urged for calm.
In a impromptu speech at the White House on Thursday afternoon, Trump made several allegations — based on little to no evidence — relating to transparency and mishandling of ballots. Trump also claimed he had already won the election, despite trailing behind Democratic nominee Joe Biden and not accounting for the hundreds of thousands of unprocessed ballots throughout the country.
“If you count the legal votes, I easily win,” Trump said. “If you count the illegal votes, they can try to steal the election from us. If you count the votes that came in late, we’re looking at them very strongly. But a lot of votes came in late.”
How is it that almost every single late vote is for Biden? How can tens of thousands go almost exclusively to just one candidate? It’s statistically impossible. I’m sure you’ve read all the things going on
Republican lawmakers sounded off on Trump’s suggestions of a preemptive victory after the president gave his remarks.
Republican Rep. Adam Kinzinger of Illinois, a state where Biden is expected to win, said in a tweet that “this is getting insane” immediately after Trump’s speech.
“We want every vote counted, yes every legal vote (of course),” Kinzinger tweeted. “But, if you have legit concerns about fraud present EVIDENCE and take it to court. STOP Spreading debunked misinformation.”
And the courts are siding with the cheaters.
Rep. Denver Riggleman of Virginia, a US Air Force veteran like Kinzinger, also urged Trump to “respect the democratic process that makes America great.”
“Like @RepKinzinger, I took an oath to defend this country and fight for the democratic ideals it stands for,” Riggleman replied in a tweet to Kinzinger. “Count every vote, yes, but stop the Bravo Sierra, Mr. President.”
Republican Sen. Ben Sasse of Nebraska, a state where Trump is heavily favored to win, said in a statement that “Americans voted in a peaceful election and there’s not a winner until all the legally cast votes are counted.”
Mitt Romney, a GOP Senator in Utah, reiterated in a statement that the process of counting votes is supposed to be “long and, for those running, frustrating.”
Two other “Republicans” are mentioned in this piece, Maryland Gov Larry Hogan and Will Hurd, who did not run for re-election in Texas. What do they all share?
That’s right, Never Trumpers. Sasse sorta kinda flipped deep into 2019, but, he’s pretty much being, let’s just say, Never Trump lite the entire time.
Unfortunately, so many Republicans are being quiet. They know the cheating is going on, but, in the face of Biden most likely taking the election (let’s be real, Dems will get away with it), they are staying quiet, ready to get back to being “get along go along” Republicans, rather than fighting. Politics is a dirty, nasty business with a veneer of civility, as the saying goes. If the GOP wants to keep the Senate and take the House in 2022, they have to continue to fight.
And we should yammer about Chinese interference and Joe being in their pocket for the next 4 years. Oh, we have evidence, we’ll show you at some point. Just trust us.
