Trump needs to get hammered for this BS.
Trump falsely claims 'millions of people who voted illegally' cost him popular vote
Trump, not citing proof, says illegal voting cost him popular vote

(45 posts)Instead of reporting this repulsive liar and reporting that Hillary is on pace to win the popular vote by 2.5-2.7M votes and how the electoral collage has failed the American people. They're giving his tweets free press with zero fact checking.
America is going to be doomed when the stock market crash again due to all the deregulation and the media will ignore it and focus on breaking down a Trump lie saying it'll fix itself out in the future and not to worry.

Right now. Prime example of the media failing us. They need to be ALL over this!!!!!

(2,116 posts)all the more reason for a thorough recount/audit of multiple states. guess he can't argue with that now. the very fact that he is trying to muddy the waters now makes me think that there is bound to be some election hacking going on.

Rural areas (as we are starting to see with places like Wisconsin) could easily vote-stuff and repeat vote without anyone knowing it, with complicit right-wing officials and poll workers.

(3,635 posts)only white male voters are legitimate voters, and every one else is an "illegal voter". Even the women who voted for Trump are viewed by alt-right/Trumpers as undeserving of rights, as they believe that the founders only intended for white males to have citizenship rights, and want to go back to (what they believe to be) the "true essence" of America.

Trump Senior Adviser Kellyanne Conway delivered a threat to prosecute Hillary Clinton if she pursues the recount during an interview on CNN's State Of The Union.
Full transcript via CNNs State Of The Union: ....
.......... The president doesnt make decisions on who gets prosecuted and who doesnt. That is not how our system works. Secondly, Donald Trump isnt the president yet, so he has no say on what happens. What comes out of Kellyanne Conways mouth is usually a direct message from Trump Tower.
Conway was issuing a not so thinly veiled threat to Hillary Clinton. If Clintons team continues to assist with the recount, the former Secretary of State may face prosecution. The incoming administration is expressing their willingness to punish anyone who questions or expresses dissent.
If Trump is so confident in the election results, why is he so rattled by this recount? ....

(4,640 posts)Maybe, just maybe, this is scaring him. Plus, he's using this to divert us from other shady shit he's doing right now.
As to Kellyanne, she needs to remember that he's not President yet. Even as President he cannot just say "arrest this person now". It doesn't WORK that way. Aside from that, she's been part of the decades long witch hunt AGAINST the Clintons to begin with, so her saying anything at all about either one of them is suspect. We all know it's biased.
