Former President Donald Trump spent his weekend eliminating any remaining doubt that he wanted to steal the 2020 election.
In a Sunday statement, Trump criticized Democrats and RINO Republicans like Wacky Susan Collins who are supportive of reforming the more than century-old Electoral Count Act. Collins and other centrists in the Senate are in the early stages of reform that could increase the threshold for objections to various states electoral votes, among other reforms, according to the Hill.
Actually, what they are saying, is that [former Vice President Mike Pence did have the right to change the outcome, and they now want to take that right away, Trump said. Unfortunately, he didnt exercise that power, he could have overturned the Election!
Despite more than a year of pushing conspiracy theories of widespread electoral and voter fraud, there is no legitimacy to Trumps claims, and all evidence has shown that President Joe Biden was the rightful winner of the election.
During a Saturday rally in Conroe, Texas, Trump promised pardons for supporters who rioted at the Capitol on Jan. 6, the same morning he gave a speech calling on supporters to fight like hell to keep him in the White House and march to the Capitol to protest the certification of the election.

But he got a taste of the power of a cult and here we are. Loosing and the backlash, is much more gratifiying to a man who just wants to watch the world burn.
