Getty ImagesOn Sunday's CNN State of the Union, Senator Mitt Romney made a comparison between the ongoing spread of false election fraud stories in the 2020 presidential election and the WWFthe World Wrestling Federation. He said it was entertaining but not real. The election is over. It was fair.CNN's Jake Tapper pointed out that former President Donald Trump, who appeared at an Ohio rally Saturday, kept pushing last night the big lie that 2020 was rigged.Trump said that the greatest tragedy was that millions of Americans have lost faith in their voting rights. He spoke to the crowd in Wellington, 45 minutes from Cleveland. This cannot happen. Trump stated that you must know what happened in 2020 to vote in 2024. This suggested that an audit of Arizona's election results would be able to prove Trump's case. CNNs Tapper described the Arizona audit as absurd and partisan.Although the Trump rally was not broadcast by major cable news networks it did air on C-SPAN, the far-right networks Newsmax (and One America News)Some former Presidents Administration personnel have distanced themselves away from his election fraud complaints. Most recently, former Attorney General Bill Barr said in a story published by The Atlantic that he had examined allegations of voter fraud. We realized right from the start it was bullsh*t.Barr described Trump's legal efforts to contest his election loss as a "clown show".In an interview with CNN on Saturday, Al Gorein, former Vice President, urged Donald Trump to do the right thing. Stop causing harm to this country. Stop destroying democracy.
