Yesterday, Donald Trump took his conspiracy theories to the next level when he tweeted out this nonsense:
In addition to winning the Electoral College in a landslide, I won the popular vote if you deduct the millions of people who voted illegally
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 27, 2016
Does he have proof of his assertion? No, of course not. Our paranoid, moronic President-elect does not deal in facts. He’s too much a fan of half-truths, lies, and fabrications that emanate from his fevered little brain.
This morning, Oklahoma Senator James Lankford, who also happens to be a Republican, said the idea that voter fraud cost Trump the popular vote is complete nonsense, adding:
“I’ve not seen any voter irregularity in the millions. There’s always some on the edges, but I’ve not seen anything on the [level of] millions, I don’t know what he was talking about.”
If there was any fraud or questionable voting tactics, they were perpetrated by Republicans in states such as Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. Some of those states may soon be recounted due to allegations of irregularities in the vote which benefitted Trump and the GOP.
Lankford was joined by Tom Rath, a longtime Republican advisor who also happens to be the former attorney general of New Hampshire. Rath got his jabs in at Trump’s claims via Twitter, saying:
“This will probably cost me my spot in the Cabinet but there was no fraud, serious or other, in this election in NH. There just wasn’t.”
As with most things involving Donald Trump, there are no facts, no proof, nothing but insinuation and innuendo. And keep in mind this is the man who will soon control the American nuclear arsenal. He can start a war with anyone he wants and then lie to us all by saying he had classified information that made him act in the way he did.
This country is in greater peril than it has ever been at any time in its history. Each of us must be vigilant and challenge every word and action from this madman.
