President Donald Trump mentioned Wednesday he’d settle for a GOP midterm loss to Democrats “if the elections are honest.”
It’s an advert nauseam chorus that the president has leaned on to spice up future claims of rigging if elections don’t go his approach ― however no much less chilling.
In an interview with NBC’s Tom Llamas, Trump railed towards Democrats’ opposition to voter ID, accused a number of blue cities of voting corruption and in pot-calling-kettle-black bombast declared, “We can’t allow cheating in elections.” As he did earlier this week, the president once more hinted he would impose federal controls if states can’t conduct elections “honestly.”
Trump was indicted for allegedly scheming to overturn his 2020 election loss by falsely casting it as a stolen victory. That led to the Jan. 6, 2021, rebellion by a Trump-supporting mob. The case was, for essentially the most half, dismissed after Trump received a second time period.
“Will you trust the results of the midterms if Republicans lose control of Congress?” Llamas requested.
“I will if the elections are honest,” Trump replied.
In tempting the irony gods, the president added, “I’m the last one that wants to complain.”
Fast-forward to twenty-eight:30 for the query many people maybe knew the reply to already:
