Trump spokeswoman says no 'next election' without 2020 'fix'

Trump spokeswoman says no 'next election' without 2020 'fix'

Jake Dima, Daniel Chaitin

Former President Donald Trump's spokeswoman delivered an ominous warning about the future of democracy in speaking to her boss's claims of a stolen election in 2020. Liz Harrington, a former Republican National Committee official, told One America News Network there would not be another election without a "fix" to the November contest, which election authorities have defended against Trump's allegations of widespread fraud.

"When all these Republicans and RINOS suddenly start pretending like they cared about election integrity, it's always the next election. Well, what the base is focused on, what the average American is focused on, regardless of your party if you were paying attention during the election, what you were focused on, is we can never allow this to happen again. And we have to fix what happened in 2020 or otherwise there's not going to be a next election," Harrington told host Natalie Harp on Monday.

Harrington said GOP opposition to H.R. 1 and the John Lewis Voting Rights Act, voting reform bills backed by Democrats in U.S. Congress, is an "admission" that the 2020 presidential election was rigged, a claim that's been widely disputed by election officials on the federal, state, and local levels, as well as voting technology companies at the center of many of the allegations.

“Really, all this talk now of election integrity and stopping H.R. 1, stopping the John Lewis Voting Rights Act, isn’t that an admission that something was wrong on Nov. 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7? All the aftermath and all the rigging and all the cheating that went on — that is an acknowledgment that the system that the Democrats and their allies in big tech put into place [that] they're trying to make permanent," she said.

This is getting awfully near to just sweeping rebels off the street. As Mr. Lincoln said...

there will be no other election going forward.

He's speaking as if he still holds office and has power.

It's getting about time to consider legal/LEO action towards the fat fuck.

As far as a functional democracy is concerned, this IS yelling fire in a crowded theater.

But you can prevent the election process from being broken by a bunch of pathetic losers who don't believe an election is fair and honest unless their guy wins.
So, Harrington is threatening to have Trump's base subvert the 2022 election.
Sounds like another attempt at a coup to me.
How much more before we can declare the Republican Party to be a terrorist organization?

election in 2024. Is that what I'm to interpret here.

H.R. 1 and the John Lewis Voting Rights Act will be the fix.

This is basically Trump laying the groundwork for bowing out of politics.

"I'm not afraid, to cheap, or too feeble to run....but it's all rigged and I'm not going to run because of that!"

His plan was to leave the county before the returns finished if he lost in 2016. He convinced himself there wasn't a chance he'd lose in 2020. He's not got it in him to run another campaign or take another L. He likes being King in Mar a Lago. He likes having the Republican party kissing his ass too.

He knows if he said he wasn't running the vacuum at the top would get filled by somebody else and he'd be about as important as Romney or Bush after they left office.
