Donnie admitted on video that he lost the election, but he goes to his hate rallies still making up dangerous lies that the "election was stolen from him". Those lies incite his rabid base to go out and commit political violence. This fraudster also continues to fundraise off this scam so he can make more money off his gullible base. He sees his base as easy marks and continues to take advantage of them.
Not only that, he has his handpicked right wing stooges from Congress come out on stage before him to parrot the same "election fraud" lies, push conspiracy theories, falsley smear Joe Biden, and viciously attack Republicans who stand up against these outright lies. They call those Republicans "RINOs" and are forcing them out of the party. The Republican Party is a cult and in order to be welcome you have to lie for Donald Trump and do whatever he tells you, and if you don't, they will cancel you out of the party. That is the very definition of a cult....supreme loyalty.
His stooges in Congress know these are lies as well but only do it to prop up Donnie. Lying Michigan Rep. McClain lied to the crowd stating that "Trump took out Osama bin Laden" while Donnie stood there beaming taking credit for something he never did. President Obama took out Osama bin Laden in 2011 while Donnie was still on television. But that doesn't stop these right wingers from outright lying giving Donnie fake credit and delusional Donnie took fake credit for it.
The GOP is a conspiracy party and exists to worship and give fake credit to Donald Trump. His crowds are getting smaller and his app is a flop so even his own base has caught on to his scam. Why would anyone want to be associated with a party who is always lying to you? They want you to live in a fake alternate world just telling you what you want to hear even though the claims are totally absurd.
Really glad that these officials in Michigan are debunking all these lies and conspiracies. This needs to be done all over America and in the Mainstream media as well instead of letting these liars on programs to push these lies to the viewers.
Michigan Dem officials do 4-hour livestream fact-checking Trump's ‘Big Lie’ claims
Ingham County Clerk Barb Byrum, Attorney General Dana Nessel and state Sen. Jeff Irwin (D-Ann Arbor) recorded a four-hour livestream during former President Donald Trump’s rally in Washington Township Saturday where they reviewed and corrected inaccurate claims from he and other GOP officials.
“For 18 months, we have endured lies and conspiracies regarding the 2020 Presidential Election and they have undermined the public’s trust in our elections administrators, and our Democracy,” said Byrum. “It is critical that we not let these go unchecked, and that the residents of Michigan have access to actual facts about how our elections are run.”
Trump was in Michigan to support Kristina Karamo, a Republican running for secretary of state in 2022, and Matthew DePerno, who is seeking the attorney general nomination to run against Nessel.
DePerno is up against former state House Speaker Tom Leonard and state Rep. Ryan Berman (R-Commerce Twp.) for the Republican nomination at the state convention April 23 in Grand Rapids.
Karamo is battling state Rep. Beau LaFace (R-Iron Mountain) and Chesterfield Township Clerk Cindy Berry for the Republican secretary of state nomination. The winner will be up against Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson.
Both candidates have helped spread election fraud conspiracies in the state and across the country, despite hundreds of audits across Michigan showing that Trump lost to President Joe Biden in Michigan by more than 154,000 votes in the 2020 presidential election.
Trump, along with the endorsed candidates and GOP leaders who joined him at the podium, like Michigan Republican Party Co-Chair Meshawn Maddock and U.S. Rep. Lisa McClain (R-Bruce Twp.), focused on the 2020 election and conspiracies that the election was rigged against Trump with thrown-out ballots and voting equipment.
When DePerno took the stage, Byrum, Irwin and Nessel pushed back on conspiracies he shared about election fraud in the Antrim County 2020 general election.
DePerno filed a case challenging the election results in Antrim County, but Nessel noted that it was “a Republican-nominated judge who threw his lawsuit out, finding it to be completely without merit.”
On election night, Antrim County briefly showed Biden was winning Antrim County, a Republican stronghold, due to human error. It was quickly corrected.
“Early the next morning, the clerk in Antrim County realized the mistake was made, corrected it and owned up to it,” Irwin said during the livestream Saturday. “Despite what was a rather mundane mistake that everybody could see, who knew anything about elections in Antrim County … that mistake was spun up into a national controversy and was used by irresponsible lawyers like Matt DePerno.”
Trump’s speech lasted approximately 90 minutes, where he talked about many of his typical rally topics, including the 2020 presidential election, COVID-19 mandates by Democratic governors, high crime rates in cities with Democratic mayors and comparing the unemployment rates between his time in office and under Biden.
“What we need to bear in mind is that public trust can be lost in an instant and it will take years to regain that trust,” said Byrum. “It is my hope that exposing his lies for what they are, we can start to rebuild the trust that he took from this country.”
