Yesterday, we covered an interesting story out of Florida, one that was a bit shocking. A woman was charged for casting two ballots in the 2020 election. We wrote that it’s pretty amazing that the election board could find just two votes and that the person would be charged. The system seems pretty tight.
We have also already reported on Trump’s interview last night with Nigel Farage, in which – unbelievably, Trump complained that no one gave him credit for the large crowd he attracted on January 6th, which is just stunning.
And, normally, we’d have to leave it at that. It is awful writing two stories on one interview except when you simply must because Trump’s second assertion later in the interview is so beyond reality that, as this site has said before, it is becoming akin to asserting that he now simply puts on a cape and flies wherever he wants.
Trump told Nigel that what happened in this last election was so awful that the Democrats took advantage of COVID, which allowed “millions and millions of ballots to be added to the count from no one knows where” (We know where, in his pointed head), and Trump said it’s just terrible for democracy.
Trump incited a vi0lent mob that created the first violent transfer of power in the history of this country. That would seem bad for democracy.
But the real reason to write this up is that yesterday, we learned that a woman was charged with voting twice (Both times likely for Trump given her social media history). The Florida state government is capable of finding a woman who voted twice and yet Trump asserts that millions and millions of ballots floated in from “nobody knows where.”
His lie is bad enough. But does he not realize how much worse he sounds in saying this happened? Because guess who was president of the United States when this plan was hatched by Democrats to bring millions of ballots in from who knows where? And who had the duty to protect the United States from an attack from outside or within?
Florida caught a woman who voted twice. Trump – according to his story – failed to catch millions and millions of votes, he doesn’t even know where they might have come from or who planned it.
He really has no idea how ridiculous he sounds:
"They used covid to rob and rig and steal an Election…Everybody knows it, you look at even polls now, a big percentage of our Country knows it.
"And it's very bad for Democracy. Very very bad for Democracy." pic.twitter.com/UCwRWlsERU
