Trump is getting angry with Mike Pence for not joining in his attempts to overturn the election, report says
Business Insider via Yahoo News ^ | 12/22/2020 | Alexander Ma

President Donald Trump is furious at Vice President Mike Pence and other top White House officials who are not joining his futile attempts to overturn the 2020 election, Axios reported Tuesday, citing multiple top officials.

The outlet said the president was "turning bitterly on virtually every person around him" who he believes is not supporting him.

Trump thinks that those who are not fighting in his corner are, in Axios' words, "weak, stupid or disloyal" and "beneath contempt."

Trump has complained about Pence and recently brought up an ad by the Lincoln Project, an anti-Trump Republican super PAC, that said the vice president was "backing away" from him, Axios reported.

The outlet said Trump was also unhappy with Mark Meadows, his chief of staff; Pat Cipollone, the White House counsel; Secretary of State Mike Pompeo; and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell.

Top White House aides have for weeks been trying to distance themselves from Trump and his fruitless election lawsuits, according to multiple reports.

Axios reported that Trump had been asking his advisors if they could order state legislatures to rescind their electoral votes - and that when he is told no, he gets angry again.

Before the Electoral College met on December 14, Trump had considered asking Republican lawmakers in battleground states to refuse to ratify their results and to replace electors with loyalists who would switch their votes from President-elect Joe Biden to Trump. It was a last-ditch plot that was improbable.

But now that the Electoral College has confirmed Biden as the president-elect, Trump is turning to his congressional allies to help overturn the result on January 6, when both chambers will meet to certify the vote count.

Agreed. Why do they continually tell us that If it’s true? Because they know 70+ million Trump voters don’t believe it.

I’m sure Trump is very happy with all the public statements by Pence denouncing vote rigging and intimidation of poll watchers

Can you cite me to even one such statement by Pence?

When I saw “Trump is furious...”

I knew it was propaganda meant to make Trump look unreasonable.

BI should be banned for its continual B$/Fake News!

Wonder how much the ChiComs pay them or the % of BI, owned by the ChiComs.

China used internet troll ‘army’ to shape coronavirus narrative: (How many fake news trolls and diversion trolls were/are controlled by the Chicoms?)

report:
China’s propaganda and censorship operation is unmatched by any other nation in the world, a university researcher claims:

News about the coronavirus-related death of a Chinese doctor who had warned the public about the virus set off a massive propaganda and censorship effort to help the Chinese government regain control of the narrative inside the country about the rapidly growing crisis, according to a report.

The response to the Feb. 7 death of Dr. Li Wenliang and other events during the early days of the virus outbreak are outlined in leaked documents reviewed by ProPublica and the New York Times in a jointly produced article that was published Saturday.

Two main objectives of the Chinese government’s effort appeared to be making the virus impact seem less severe and making government officials appear to have a firmer grip on controlling the outbreak than they actually did, the report said.

China’s censors were worried that news about Wenliang’s death would set off a “butterfly effect” of subsequent news stories about the virus that could be damaging for the government, so they ordered news outlets not to promote stories about Wenliang and instructed social media sites to remove his name from lists of trending topics, the report said.

The censors also hired internet trolls to post “distracting chatter” on the internet to help influence public opinion as the coronavirus gradually became a bigger news story.

The Chinese government also ordered security personnel to silence commentators whose views were not aligned with those of the government, according to the report.

This is FAKE NEWS.
The evidence of fraud is mounting.
Swing state republicans are starting to move after seeing evidence of widespread election tampering
So the FAKE NEWS begins from the demonrats who may be in huge trouble.

Not buying it. Pence is on his side. He sees the fraud like the rest of this.

The truth is not an echo chamber.

Leftist propaganda is.

Trump has denounced the vote fraud again and again. Has Pence done so? Has Pence expressed any public skepticism about the validity of the November 3 election results? Can you provide a cite?

Yahoo is a lefty news site that only peddles in propaganda. The left have been trying to put out stories on a wedge between Pence and Trump for the last few weeks.

I suspect he has very good reason to be upset with them all. Let’s hope it is not too late with those he needs to have fired last year.

“ Pence sees the fraud like the rest of us”

How do you know? When has he said anything about it? Please cite me to an article - just one article - that provides evidence for your claim that “Pence is on Trumps side” when it comes to the vote-fraud issue.

Seems part of a divide a divide and conquer propaganda play by Yahoo News along with their spin that Newsmax and Fox News are "walking back" support for election fraud claims based on some lawyer type disclaimers about views expressed by guests vs positions of the networks.

Don't believe this nonsense.
