'We won': Trump spreads misinformation about 2020 election during final Georgia rally
NBC News / Comcast ^ | January 4, 2021 | By Lauren Egan (D-NBC)

DALTON, Ga. - President Donald Trump on Monday headlined a rally ostensibly to drum up support for the two incumbent Republicans the night before their crucial Senate runoffs, but quickly shifted to attacking members of his own party, spreading misinformation about voter fraud and re-litigating both the 2016 and 2020 elections.

President-elect Joe Biden won Georgia by nearly 12,000 votes and is set to be sworn into office later this month despite Trump’s repeated attempts to overturn the results.

Trump has spent weeks pressuring Republican Sen. Kelly Loeffler and Republican David Perdue, whose Senate term expired Sunday, to entertain his unfounded claims of widespread voter fraud or risk turning off his devoted base.

That pressure appeared to be effective.

Trump brushed off concerns from some Republicans that he would use his final rally to sabotage the party by telling his supporters to not participate in a voting process that he has spent the past two months railing against.

“No,” Trump said in response. “You know what I want? I want a great country.”

The president’s refusal to accept the election results reached concerning new heights on Saturday when he begged Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger in a phone call to “find 11,780 votes” and threatened to continue to spread voter fraud conspiracy theories.

Trump made good on that promise, using much of his roughly 70-minute speech to spout off numbers of ballots he claimed were missing from the final vote counts, despite there being no evidence to back up his allegations.

No offense.... but only a moron would think a faulty person, implicated in criminal activity as Biden has been.... could win 15 MILLION More votes the hillary or Obama....
Any fool who is able to convince themselves of this- can convince themselves of anything- but the truth.
America is a very corrupt country indeed.

Actually the American fake news media is far worse than Pravda ever was. The US media make Pravda look like rank amateurs when it comes to making up propaganda, disinformation and just plain lies.
And I am speaking as someone who used to read Pravda regularly back in the 60’s, 70's and 80’s.

I just hope that the Republicans are smart enough this time to have hackers in the voting machines monitoring what is going on and acting on any fraud. When votes are switched, switch them back.

The media that calls everything Trump says ‘misinformation’ is the same media that spread bullshit about Russian collusion for 4 yrs and imminent doom bullshit about global cooling/warming being manmade for 40 years.

The only things needed to know which side is right is to note which side employs censorship, which side shut down the counting, which side covered the windows, which side handled election materials while poll watchers and election workers were out of the room, which side opposes voter ID, etc.

It’s like recognizing pure evil... it is quite easy when you see who promotes abortion.

I wonder which Democrat politicians Laura Egan is connected to? This kind of blazing bias doesn’t develop on its own, it has to be cultivated while young and naive, or else has to be profitable enough to be worth whoring one’s self out.
