Trump says it was 'my decision' to try to overturn 2020 election results | CNN Politics - eviltoast

There it is, plain as day. He literally just admitted to his crimes.

    And he called the 2016 GOP primaries rigged also when he lost one. Everything Trump loses is rigged. If he wins, but doesn’t win by as much as he wanted to, then it’s rigged also.

    At this point, it wouldn’t surprise me if he thought merely having a non-Trump name on the ballot counted as “rigging.” Trump’s ideal ballot would be “do you want (a) Trump for President or (b) to be imprisoned for life?”

      Are you aware of how many times Democrats keep repeating the ‘election was stolen’ in 2016? Or parroting ‘illegitimate president?’ Election denial is 100% bi partisan

        Nobody on the left is claiming that actual votes got cast illegally. What happened in 2016 is that Russia flooded social media with posts trying to influence American voters. Whether it worked or how much it worked is up for debate.

        This is more “Russia meddled” than “Russia stole the election” though. Democrats accepted that Trump won in 2016. They didn’t try to challenge the election and certainly didn’t violently storm the Capitol in January 2017 to try to keep Trump from taking office.
