New York Times Calls Trump Claim That Millions of Illegals Voted a “Lie”
The New American ^ | 24 January 2017 | Warren Mass

Posted on 01/25/2017 2:56:06 PM PST by detective

An article in the New York Times for January 23 carried an editorialized headline: “Trump Repeats Lie About Popular Vote in Meeting With Lawmakers.” (Not “Trump Repeats Assertion” or “Trump Repeats Claim,” but “Trump Repeats Lie.” The article was not found on the opinion page of the newspaper’s print edition, but on page A1.)   Reading very much like an opinion piece, the Times article stated: "President Trump used his first official meeting with congressional leaders on Monday to falsely claim that millions of unauthorized immigrants had robbed him of a popular vote majority, a return to his obsession with the election’s results even as he seeks support for his legislative agenda."

Because the NYT is the DNC and they have a vested interest in keeping the voter fraud going. It’s the only way they can win in a lot of jurisdictions.

Trump stated a gut feeling.

He did not make a definitive statement.

The media doesn’t know the difference.

Pathetic!

I think since this is such a volatile issue that the NYT (once a significant paper) has to call it a lie by our President, no one should oppose significant fact checking and investigation.

Was the turnout really that high?
++++
Yes, based on a mix of Jan 2015 population and 2016 election. It seems high to me. Too high. I’m going to try to get a better registered voter number and see if that resolves it.

Or we could be seeing votes delivered by other means.

If no substance to Trumps claim the press should be chomping at the bit for a full blown investigation.

Their reaction instead proves fraud is rampant in our election process.

The press is out scubbing the internet of past articles and discrediting documented claims of fraud. Totally transparent to the US voters.

A fatuous claim. NYT cannot know the truth or falsity of the assertion. It is far more likely to be true than false. What NYT’s statement translates to is, “It doesn’t support our side.”

And while you are at it, please put Shepard Smith on the stand and ask him how he KNOWS that Trump is wrong about this.

NYT calling voter fraud a LIE is the same as Michael Moore calling Twiggy fat.

http://www.capoliticalreview.com/capoliticalnewsandviews/poll-13-of-illegal-aliens-admit-they-vote/

Poll: 13% of Illegal Aliens ADMIT They Vote

“When these numbers were adjusted to take into account various factors, such as noncitizens “who said they were not [registered but] were actually registered,” the Old Dominion/George Mason study’s authors concluded that the true percentage was probably closer to 25 percent.”

“Illegal Immigration Statistics in California. California has the largest number of illegal immigrants in the United States, with an estimated 2.4 million unauthorized immigrants making up about 6.3 percent of the state’s total population, according to the Pew Research Center”

There’s more than that number in LA County alone! 6.3%? More like 36%!

That NYT remark is a challenge. Trump doesn’t back away from a challenge. And what a stupid remark anyhow. Democrat cheating in elections have been legend since I was a kid, and I’m pushing 78. And by the way; pushing 78 is enough exercise for anybody!

The NYT forgot their “it’s the seriousness of the charge”line of reasoning.

Let me think this through.

There are between 10 and 35 MILLION illegal aliens in the USA.

A large MSM poll established that 13% of known illegals ADMITTED to voting.

By my figuring, that means that at the very least, 1.3 MILLION and as many as 4.5 MILLION illegals intentionally committed the felonious act of voting in a US election.

Remember that Hitlery’s entire popular vote margin was in two states, NY and California.

One illegal vote is too many. That one vote wiped out mine and I won’t stand for it. I’d say what the hell is wrong with the media but we already know the answer.
