Paul Ryan on Trumps baseless voter fraud claim: Who cares what he tweeted?

https://www.yahoo.com/news/paul-ryan-on-trumps-baseless-voter-fraud-claim-who-cares-what-he-tweeted-165817261.html

House Speaker Paul Ryan says he doesn’t 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 he’s in the Oval Office.

“That’s what’s going to matter at the end of the day,” Ryan said in an interview that aired on CBS’ “60 Minutes” Sunday. “Did we improve people’s 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 country’s big problems? That’s just the way I look at this.”

Last month, Trump, who defeated Hillary Clinton by winning the Electoral College, wrote on Twitter that he would’ve 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.
