https://www.yahoo.com/news/paul-ryan-on-trumps-baseless-voter-fraud-claim-who-cares-what-he-tweeted-165817261.htmlHouse Speaker Paul Ryan says he doesnt care that Donald Trump continues to tweet outlandish claims as president-elect as long as Trump and the Republican-controlled Congress get things done when hes in the Oval Office.
Thats whats going to matter at the end of the day, Ryan said in an interview that aired on CBS 60 Minutes Sunday. Did we improve peoples lives? Did we solve the problems that the American people need solved? Are we addressing the concerns of people who are tired of being tired? And who cares what he tweeted, you know, on some Thursday night, if we fix this countrys big problems? Thats just the way I look at this.
Last month, Trump, who defeated Hillary Clinton by winning the Electoral College, wrote on Twitter that he wouldve beaten her in the popular vote too if not for the millions of people who voted illegally.
It was a stunning claim as there is no evidence of significant voter fraud. The Washington Post reported that there were just four documented cases of voter fraud for the 2016 election.
We live in a parallel universe.
