George Stephanopoulos, the former press secretary for Bill Clinton turned ABC host, came out of the chute fast when he sat down with Kentucky Republican Sen. Rand Paul on Sunday’s “This Week” political talk show.
“Senator Paul, let me begin with a threshold question for you. This election was not stolen, do you accept that fact?”
Paul most definitely did not accept that fact.
“Well, what I would say is that the debate over whether or not there was fraud should occur, we never had any presentation in court where we actually looked at the evidence. Most of the cases were thrown out for lack of standing, which is a procedural way of not actually hearing the question. There were several states in which the law was changed by the Secretary of State and not the state legislature.”
“To me, those are clearly unconstitutional, and I think there’s still a chance that those actually do finally work their way up to the Supreme Court. Courts traditionally and historically don’t like to hear election questions. But yes. Were there people who voted twice? Were there dead people who voted? Were there illegal aliens who voted? Yes, and we should get to the bottom of it,” Paul said.
“I’ll give you an example. In my state, when we had a Democrat Secretary of State, she refused, even under federal order, to purge the rolls of illegal voters. We got a Republican Secretary of State and he purged the rules.”
But Stephanopoulos cut in, saying: “I have to stop you there. No election is perfect. But there were 86 challenges filed by President Trump and his allies in court, all were dismissed. Every state certified the results.”

The MSM has one line and they are sticking with it. ‘The is no evidence!’
By the time a conservative says, ‘But ....’ the libs are viewing it as old news and are ready to move on.
How Convenient.
Rand handled the Democrat operative propagandist Stephanopoulos posing as a journalist on the Mickey Mouse network.

If so, off to Gitmo with you, Insurrectionist!
Ooooooh now the Republicans get tough. What Big Men they are!
‘Stephanopoulos cut in, saying: “I have to stop you there. No election is perfect. But there were 86 challenges filed by President Trump and his allies in court, all were dismissed.”
According to GP (article below this one), there are still 30 active cases. As bad a GP is, I tend to believe them.
So why did he vote to certify the election?
The thing is, if Trump won, the Democrats would have done the same damn thing right down to a T!
Funny how the so-called “threshold question” is a loaded question.
That is not supposed to be the characteristic of the definition of “threshold question”, which is generally defined as the first question that needs an answer.
Too late Rand. You had your chance to contest the election result and failed .
You failed to stand up when it really counts. We will remember next election . I will not give to the RNC... NEVER...

Kudos to Paul for braving the waters, but it was rather weak.
Paul is one of the better Senators.
Well done Senator Paul.
Day late and a dollar short.
I suspect the GOP is going to put on this “More Trump than Trump” charade.
:: Stephanopoulos cut in, saying: “I have to stop you there. No election is perfect. ::
And, here we see the pivot.
A little bit of fraud is ok.
The sure don’t want an investigation of anything.
Rand Paul is RIGHT!!!! But he forgot about the need to audit the Dominion machines!!!!
Elections in which procedural regulation is taken away from state legislatures are called “impropriety” whether there is fraud or not. For the Presidential election of 2020 in the 6 or 7 “swing states”, were are dealing with both impropriety and fraud!
