Trump calls into Pennsylvania meeting to renew election claims

[left-of-center2012]

President Trump phoned into a meeting arranged by Pennsylvania Republicans in Gettysburg on Wednesday to renew his unsubstantiated claims that the election was stolen from him, telling participants that they needed to “turn the election over.”

Trump called his campaign legal adviser, Jenna Ellis, who was present at the meeting, and spoke from her speakerphone for several minutes Wednesday afternoon. He doubled down on his unsubstantiated claims of fraud in the election and falsely claimed that he won the presidential race against Biden “by a lot.”

Trump:

“This election was lost by the Democrats."
"They cheated. It was a fraudulent election.”
“I want to thank everyone for being there.”

The president called into the meeting just as Biden was taking the stage in Wilmington, Del., to deliver his own address in which he implored Americans to unify in the fight against the coronavirus.

1. This is a seditious coup attempt

Soft or hard doesn’t matter. Democrats need to call this what it is - sedition and begin investigations now, enough of this unity bullshit.

2. He'll do this shit again and again every time Biden gets airtime

3. Except for those damn Republican Secretarys of State and Republican Governors.

He might be able to sell that whopper.

4. At this point in time

If Trump were to pull off some kind of legalistic magic to retain the presidency, the nation would not survive. I think he is continuing the sham just to keep both sides agitated. He thrives on the suffering of others.

5. Can we Sue him for harassment?

He does not seem to want to let this go.
