On Monday, Sen. Mitch McConnell celebrated voters endorsing Senate Republicans. In the same breath, he questioned the validity of their ballots if they did not also endorse President Donald Trump.
You’re right. It doesn’t make sense.
A ballot can’t be half legitimate.
Even so, McConnell supports the president’s baseless claims that the election was corrupt, saying he should pursue legal recourse.
On Tuesday afternoon, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo predicted there will be “a smooth transition to a second Trump administration.”
That’s right, the United States’ top diplomat is also denying the outcome of his very own country’s election.
The refusal by Trump and his allies to concede defeat places the United States in league with other tin-pot dictatorships, and at a very vulnerable time.
TRY AS HE might, Trump does not have the power to subvert the will of the people.
At last count, Biden was ahead by almost 5 million votes and a sizable lead of the necessary electoral college votes.
Nationwide, election officials have found no fraud.
So to maintain that ballots were fudged in Biden’s favor is an incredible betrayal of their service.
And it would include a big cast.
To start, election officials, governors and secretaries of state of both parties would have had to join hands in a vast conspiracy to subvert democracy.
Then local election officials and poll observers — Republicans and Democrats alike — would have had to see that millions of votes were manipulated or fake ballots inserted into the vote-counting system.
It didn’t happen.
