Former President Donald Trump said in an interview that he received counsel from numerous people shortly after the 2020 election but that it was his decision to push the false claim he won the election and try to overturn the results.
There it is, plain as day. He literally just admitted to his crimes.
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.
