In a statement sent through his political action committee, Save America PAC, Trump blasted his
loss in November as “The Fraudulent Presidential Election of 2020” and said it “will be, from this day forth, known as THE BIG LIE!”
Sandy Shanks said:
We are a big tent party," McCarthy declared as he promised to purge anyone who refused to agree to the Big Lie.
"And unlike the left, we embrace free thought and debate."
Trump's lawyer at the time, Bill Barr, who doubled as the attorney general, differed with Trump on the election.
"Disputing President Donald Trump’s persistent, baseless claims, Attorney General William Barr declared Tuesday the U.S. Justice Department has uncovered no evidence of widespread voter fraud that could change the outcome of the 2020 election," the AP reported on Dec. 1.
On the same day that Trump's acting attorney general,
Jeffrey A. Rosen, reported "The Justice Department “had been presented with no evidence of widespread
voter fraud at a scale sufficient to change the outcome of the 2020 election" Liz Cheney was ousted from her leadership position by House Republicans who were led by Minority Leader McCarthy. Cheney was forced out because she told the truth about the 2020 election.
Because House Republicans were ashamed of what they were doing, Cheney was removed by a secret voice vote. We don't know how House Republicans voted, and we don't know the vote count.
“I don’t think anybody is questioning the legitimacy of the president’s election,” McCarthy said today. “That is all over with.”
No one except Donald Trump who won't let us forget the election he lost. No one except 60% of Republicans who think the election was stolen, according to a recent poll. No one except Trump's darling pegged to take Cheney's place, Elise Stefanik, who again raised questions about the election in the Washington Examiner
published Monday.
It says something about Trump's gullible cult whose members will believe what McCarthy said while believing that the election was stolen from Trump.
All this is to please Donald Trump whose endorsement is essential to nomination and whose displeasure is the kiss of death as shown by the ignominy of Cheney's removal that is even concealed by the Republicans who participated in her censure.
Is this how Republicans will win the general election?
