Trump Loses Mind in Lunatic Tweetstorm, Says CANCEL ELECTION
Even as lawsuits get thrown out and states continue certifying election results, Donald Trump is holding firm that the election was rigged and that he will begin his second term next month. This morning, Trump sent out a tweet attacking the Republican Governor of Georgia, Brian Kemp, who was once a political ally of his. Trump said “Do something @BrianKempGA. You allowed your state to be scammed. We must check signatures and count signed envelopes against ballots. Then call off election. It won’t be needed. We will all WIN!” Hand recounts in Georgia weren’t good enough for Trump because they didn’t overturn the results, so now he just wants the Peach State to be discarded altogether.
Trump claimed without evidence that he won the state of Michigan, even though he lost it by about 150,000 votes. He got upset over losing Nevada, tweeting "Fake election results in Nevada, also!" The outgoing president’s behavior is outrageous and we have to work hard to prevent this behavior from becoming normalized. It is easy to become numb to the insanity because Trump does and says crazy things every day. But the coup attempt persists and we cannot altogether ignore it until January 20th.
Trump Press Secy WILL NOT STOP Humiliating Herself
Kayleigh McEnany is one of the most loyal Trump team members and she has made it clear that she is going down with the ship. McEnany appeared on Fox News a couple of times over the past twenty-four hours. She spoke on Sean Hannity’s show about being granted discovery in Nevada in an effort to hold up state certification. Armed with printouts of right-wing articles, McEnany discussed the horrors of mail-in ballots and getting rid of signature matches. Less than twelve hours later, Kayleigh reappeared on Fox, this time in her official capacity as White House Press Secretary. When asked a question about the Trump campaign by anchor Steve Doocy, McEnany hilariously rejected the question over ethics concerns.
It’s going to be a glorious moment once Kayleigh McEnany no longer has any power and becomes just another Trump loyalist lying on TV. We’ve learned that Joe Biden has chosen Jen Psaki to be his Press Secretary. Psaki worked as Barack Obama’s Communications Director and on President-Elect Biden’s transition team. She is well-qualified and already knows how to do the job. Psaki is also a normal person which will be a breath of fresh year after the tenures of Kayleigh McEnany, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, and Sean Spicer.
From yesterday’s show:
Trump Historically Embarrassed in 1st Questions Since Election
Donald Trump took questions on Thanksgiving Day for the first time since the 2020 election. Trump seemed rattled as he tried to argue he won Georgia, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania, but was robbed in all four states. The outgoing president was clearly on edge, as he scolded a reporter for daring to ask him a follow-up question. “I am the President of the Untied States. Don’t ever talk to the president that way.” Trump was asked if he’ll ever concede and he essentially said no, arguing it will be difficult to concede because of supposed widespread voter fraud. For the first time, Trump was asked if he would attend Joe Biden’s inauguration on January 20th. While Trump didn’t commit publicly to going or not going, he said he has already made up his mind.
