Hypocrisy? Democrats Didn’t Accept 2016 Election
The Lid ^ | 1 Aug 2023 | Jeff Dunetz

And Tried To Overturn The Trump Presidency...

Pure Hypocrisy! The Democrats are still bashing Trump for believing he won the 2020 election. The four charges revealed on Aug. 1 centered around Trump’s objections. I will admit that sometimes I prayed President Trump would look toward the future rather than talk about getting cheated in an election that even if he could convince people of the error, he could not change the result.

But while we are talking about President Trump’s complaints, Let’s remember that the Democrats and their mainstream media lemmings fought against the results. 2016 election According to the book “Shattered” written by Liberal Jonathan Allen, who is a Politico editor, and Amy Parnes, who writes for The Hill, the Clinton Campaign hatched the Russia narrative 24 hours after her loss to use as an excuse for their campaign failure! After Hillary’s loss, they began an incredible marketing effort with the help of every Democrat and the mainstream media.

They never accepted Bush. “Selected, not elected.”

The last presidential election they’ve accepted they lost was 1956.

I had this very argument today with a very liberal family member-in-law and their response to watching the montage of DemocRAT election result deniers was “but they didn’t try to get an alternate slate of Electors into the Electoral College.”

Sheesh...

Not only did they not accept it, they tried to delay the electors from certifying the election as well. I remember when they did that, of course zero outrage, zero indictments since it was the Dems who did it and after all they have all the power

Yeah, and there’s a difference in the bass line in Under Pressure and Ice Ice Baby too, but that doesn’t mean they’re not pretty much identical.

The left will pretend it never happened.

They always take the moral high ground as if they were pure, innocent, and virtuous.

Evil, hypocritical liars are what they are.

I recall that too. There were some electors in the electoral college, who called themselves “Hamilton electors”, and urged GOP electors from states which Trump carried, to vote for someone other than Trump.

I recall hearing some radio ads, apparently paid for by the Democrats, in which Hamilton electors urged other electors to vote their conscience, said they weren’t urging an elector to vote for Hillary, but wanted them to exercise their freedom to vote for someone other than Trump .

I don’t know who paid for those ads.

Yes, if Democrats engage in chicanery to alter the outcome of an election, there is no Democrat outrage about not following the constitution and all that.

This would be considered defrauding the government and undermining confidence in the US Government, a crime according to Smith.

I also remember in at least one state, when the electors were gathered to certify for that state, a raving leftist observer stood up screaming that Hillary had the election stolen from her. She wouldn’t stop, and had to be forcibly escorted from the room.

Crickets.

"Democrats Didn’t Accept 2016 Election"

Either did Al Gore in 2000, but nobody proposed Indicting him for filing a lawsuit to overturn the election results in Florida.

Having two sets of electors is perfectly legal in a contested election. I'm sure your in-law will have a pat answer for that as well.

We have one of those in our family as well.

Will never forget Hillary being so frosted that she refused to even address her supporters on election night. Classy.

Here is the problem:

The Republicans have shown themselves to be 90% traitorous to conservative, traditional, libertarian values. They are the same party as the Democrats, playing the role of weak, limp, flaccid controlled opposition.

There is no major political party for most Americans who are not of the elitist, political, academic, left and right-coast cities.

There is no compromise any more. Just war.

I really see no reason at all why a prosecutor out there somewhere couldn’t indict Mrs. Bill Clinton (hat tip to Rush) for the very thing Trump is being charged with.

Why not do that today and let the whining and gnashing of leftist teeth begin?

Hypocrisy doesn’t matter if you just never let the opposition get into power ever again.
