Fox News Host Calls Trump a 'Whiner,' Begs Him to 'Stop Talking About 2020'
Newsweek ^ | July 21, 2023 | Aila Slisco

Former President Donald Trump is behaving like a "whiner" by obsessively focusing on false claims that he lost the 2020 presidential election due to massive fraud, according to Fox News host Laura Ingraham.

The conservative pundit urged Trump to "stop talking about 2020" if he wants to win the 2024 presidential election during the latest episode of The Ingraham Angle on Friday night, warning the ex-president that he would not win over "a single voter" if he does not change his tactics.

Ingraham also admonished Trump for launching attacks on Republican politicians in battleground states for failing to endorse him or being reluctant to swear their fealty, pointing out the former president's disparaging comments about Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds and Georgia Governor Brian Kemp.

"Keep your eye on the prize: 270 electoral votes," Ingraham said, apparently addressing the former president directly. "Attacking popular Republican senators or governors in battleground states is more than unwise, it's self-destructive. Why do it?"

"Voters in a general election want to vote for a winner, not a whiner," she continued. "So please, for the love of God, stop talking about 2020. That will not bring a single voter out to support you who didn't support you before. You need to grow the pot, not shrink it."

...

Friday was not the first time that Ingraham has laid into Trump for continuing to focus on his 2020 loss to President Joe Biden. During a broadcast in March, the Fox News host said that "marinating in old claims of election fraud will not win over a single voter in any state that [Trump] needs to win in 2024."

It’s all the only Trumpers who keep telling us that we should vote for Trump.
Because he had his 2020 election stolen.

No, you moron. It's because he did a great job in spite of the attacks from both sides.

Shove your anti-Trump crap.

Election integrity is most fundamental to establishing and maintaining a free republic. No one who points out flaws, cheating, and anomalies in the process of voting should be called a “whiner.” Whining is what Hannity does (bless his heart). Taking action is what Trump does, and what we must do with him, to further establish and maintain election integrity. It’s where all the marbles are, and the enemy knows it.

I think everyone is missing the point.

Trump is pointing out that the elections are crooked, rigged....a disgrace to our nation.

I think Trump supporters are missing an important point: in 2 years, he has done little to change it.

If you don’t change stuff, nothing changes.

Standing there, pointing and crying, is not working for change.

I guess stolen elections are a difficult concept for some to understand.

We will have to agree to disagree, on Laura of Faux News’ whining *advice*.

The lefties still talk about Clarence Thomas, for heaven’s sake. If we drop it, we concede it. They sure won’t shut up about January 6.

As previously stated, the insults and bullying are turning away voters from the Trump camp for 2024. That is the fact, and it has nothing to do with a stolen election in 2020.

I remember Laura regularly trashed and mocked the Tea Party on her radio program.

I hear that if a lie is repeated often enough, people will come to believe it. Perhaps if the truth is repeated often enough, the same result will transpire.

I think Trump’s insistence, as well as Kari Lake’s, is actually convincing more and more people that the election process is fraudulent.

This is not “whining” about the election being stolen.....this is a huge, if not the major issue that the country has at the moment!

The nation is suffering severely because of election fraud and the coup occupying the WH....and there’s another election coming up. It needs to be dealt with.

The primary has been over for months.

No one has polled in the same universe.

To carry on as if it competitive and somehow beneficial is lol ridiculous.

A Stolen general election where the results were overturned
in the middle of the night, but lets stop talking about it.

It never happened! Got it Trump?

“Okay, we put it out there, but I’ll be darned if I think
it’s going to work...”

Democrats rule... yippee...

Taking action is what Trump does, and what we must do with him, to further establish and maintain election integrity.
*******************************************************
Please tell me what actions Trump has taken to establish election integrity beyond whining, holding rallies and aligning with assorted fools and grifters that claimed to have the evidence on Dominion. We’re still waiting for them to deliver the Kraken! I really want to know what he has done. It’s a serious question.

With all his connections and clout did he found and/or fund any legitimate voter integrity organization with all the piles of cash he is sitting on? If so which one(s)?

True the Vote and Dinesh DeSouza tried to carry load for him and came up with some rather convincing finds, but what did Trump contribute to their valiant efforts? I think there is another group named RITE, Restoring Integrity and Trust in Elections, that is trying to keep an eye on voting laws and the actions of state legislators, but is he helping them or others like them? Trump just mentioning fraud and believing his words have the power of creation to make things right isn’t beneficial in the least.

Again, I would really like to know what he has done to advance voter integrity?
