USPS whistleblower denies report he recanted voter fraud claims
NY Post ^ | November 11, 2020 | By Emily Jacobs

Posted on 11/11/2020 8:03:24 AM PST by Oldeconomybuyer

The postal worker in Pennsylvania who congressional Democrats and a major US newspaper claimed had recanted his allegations of mail-in-ballot tampering is denying that he walked back his words.

In a video posted Tuesday evening, Richard Hopkins, a United States Postal Service worker in the must-win swing state, denied taking back his statements when speaking to authorities.

“I’m here to say I did not recant my statements. That did not happen,” said Hopkins, 32.

The news came hours after House Oversight Committee Democrats wrote in a series of tweets that investigators with the USPS Inspector General’s Office told staffers that Hopkins backed off his allegations during an interview Monday.

Hopkins “did not explain why he signed a false affidavit,” according to the committee.

That same day, the Washington Post reported that Hopkins had admitted to investigators that he made up his allegations, citing three people briefed on the probe.

In a tweet that included Hopkins’ video saying he did not recant, President Trump weighed in on the matter, calling the postal worker “A brave patriot.”

“More & more people are stepping forward to expose this Rigged Election!” the 45th commander-in-chief wrote.

More disinformation from the deep state to keep the masses confused and shape their opinion. I hope the whistle blower has a security team watching over him. It took great courage on his part to come forward and even more to recant the MSM articles. He also needs a public relations team to ensure he is presented in a positive light and not some nut.

Yep, I was listening to Mark Levin yesterday, he said Trump has a huge amount of lawyers who support Trump who are volunteering their time, working pro-bono who are hellbent on exposing this scam. God bless them, and this has only been the first week after the election.

I think eventually this whole thing is going to explode and people are going to be shocked how vast the fraud is. Shocked except for me and others here who damn well knew this was coming. This is a party that attempted a coup against a sitting President in which NOTHING was done to them by our neutered justice dept, so of COURSE they attempted another coup this time by massive voter fraud.

Poor liberals. Misled again by their trusted sources. For the millionth time.

Why it seems like less than a year ago that we were told all whistleblowers were sacred patriots. Now they are to be fired, smeared, banned and blacklisted. So confused...

Remember when reporters would confirm reports? The fellow tried to call the Compost and they hung up on him.

Does anyone have any background on this guy? I heard he is a Veteran and served in Afghanistan. If there was something hinky in his background, I’m sure the lamestream presstitutes would have found it by now.

An ignorant postal worker? Worse, a possible deplorable? Looks disposable. Well, we in the deep state can arrange an accident. Or a botched robbery. But he will be silenced, one way or another. Aha, I have it! He will be killed because he did not safely build a bomb he was constructing for use at the next gathering of the Democratic Women of Color Club.

Good morning!

Today is a good day to remember that mainstream media & socialist media are liars.

Biden & members of his “administration” are liars.

Many politicians from both parties are liars.

Discern who you can trust.

Choose wisely.

All will be good. Patience.
