Fox News "Voter Fraud" Interview Goes Horribly Wrong
Melissa Carone, a supposed whistleblower, went on Fox Business network to be interviewed by Lou Dobbs. She is one of the dozens of people who singed affidavits about a voter fraud experience they claim to have had. These “whistleblowers” have been going on right-wing programs to convince right-wing audiences that the election was rigged and that it’s just one aspect of some broader conspiracy. The problem with Carone’s testimony on Fox is that it proved absolutely nothing. It also managed to allege absolutely nothing. Dobbs was left stunned and confused as Carone told her story about working a twenty-four hour shift on Election Day and seeing mysterious vans show up at her Wayne County polling site.
Carone said that the vans were there to provide food for the poll workers, but she suspected it was actually something much more suspicious. She explained how items were removed from the back of the van so she couldn’t see what was happening. But she assumes that it was not food that the vans were delivering, but instead ballots, presumably with Joe Biden’s named checked off on them. Lou Dobbs struggled to understand the relevance of the story to Trump’s widespread voter fraud allegations, but he couldn’t say that directly. Instead Dobbs ended the interview by calling Carone’s account “irregular and suspicious.” If this is the best they have, Trump has absolutely zero chance of pulling off this triple Hail Mary attempt at reversing the election results.
Disgusted Fox News Host FLIPS OUT on Trump Tool
Fox News host Leland Vittert had Erin Perrine, Trump campaign director of press communications, on his program to discuss allegations of voter fraud in the 2020 election. Vittert is certainly no left-winger but he was able to hold Perrine’s feet to the fire and assert that even if Trump got what he wanted out of these lawsuits, they wouldn’t do nearly enough to overturn the results of the election. Perrine insisted that the courts keep finding merit to the claims they have made, which they haven’t been. The vast majority of Trump’s frivolous lawsuits are getting thrown out almost immediately. When pressed, Perrine reverted to the talking point that they just want to make sure “legal votes” are counted and that “illegal votes” are not counted, as if that’s what’s at issue here.
Vittert pressed Perrine on the point that EVEN IF trump got his way, either to recount or throw out some batch of votes — none of it would overturn the election results. That is exactly what Perrine refuses to admit. There is no path to victory for Trump at this point. Even if he could throw out election results in one state due to impropriety, he would still have to find two or three more states to overturn. The recount in Georgia is almost over and there’s no sign that Trump can overcome the 14,000 vote margin. But until December 14th when the Electoral College makes the count official, we will be hearing about this nonsense from Trump allies and the right wing in general.
From yesterday’s show:
Trump Humiliated In Overnight Twitter Meltdown
Donald Trump cannot live with himself after losing the 2020 presidential election to Joe Biden. The outgoing president tweets at odd hours of the night about how the election was rigged and how he actually won by millions of votes — even though it wasn’t and he lost by millions of votes. In his latest Twitter meltdown, Trump said that the “fake news media” shouldn’t assume that Biden will become president. The president tweeted about, “large numbers of Poll Watchers that were thrown out of vote counting rooms in many of our States, to millions of ballots that have been altered by Democrats . . . to using Radical Left owned Dominion Voting Systems.” These tantrums won’t stop Joe Biden from becoming president on January 20th, but they are working to delegitimize Biden in the eyes of the seventy million Trump voters.
