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.”

Yes, late indeed, but there should be a determined drive to defeat the left’s narrative.
I’m not feeling it. At the very least it should rally people to a new party.
I’m not feeling that either...
They go a step further and falsely clai, it has been disproven that there was election fraud. The left are scum. How has it been disp4oven? No court would take the cases, so the left have absolutely no way of knowing what is in the suits to know whether it even could be disproven or not.
Failure of the courts to do their duty does not amount to a disproving of the cases big difference
According to the Washington Times article published January 11, 2021 (https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2021/jan/11/supreme-court-refuses-expedite-election-challenges/) at least 8 lawsuits are still pending before the U.S. Supreme Court despite the Incident on January 6, 2021. George is wrong when he said all the cases were dismissed.
Not far from the truth, I suspect.
Pretty much any overt referral to the election as ‘stolen’ or otherwise rigged, or ANY support for the events of 1/6 is going to make someone ‘disappear’ from Facebook, Twitter and probably have a high chance of costing them their job or livelihood.
“I have to stop you there.”
Definition: Often used when the conversation is truthfully contradictory and the liberal is not winning.
Sad there are not more with his ‘gumption’, ‘perspicaciousness’ (had to look it up), eveb HERE in our ranks to communicate with the ‘congress critters’ that do not agree.
Commend, support those who do! Now, more than ever they need support!!
Yes, I stand at the front of the line!!! Guilty of not expressing the views of America that I have a ‘hankering’ for to pass on to my children, children’s children and even now Great-grandchildren. Somehow feeling responsible for the America, we, you, even ‘them’, miscreants,the nefarious living among us!
See some change ahead for this ‘pilgrim’!
jmo.
Take care........pilgrim
Unless people are charged, tried, and convicted for the kind of voter fraud Paul is talking about then it will be easy for them to stick with their 'there is not evidence' line. Nothing will convince people until they start seeing perp walks and jail time. States with Republican AGs should have been announcing arrests by now.
George is in a bad position because his position is that the election is settled and there is no need for any investigations. Rand is right that presidential elections can’t have their rules changed by secretaries of state without the approval of the state legislatures. The constitution doesn’t prohibit changing election laws for local elections but for presidential elections it can only be changed by the state legislatures.
Ummmm, George Stephanopoulos ran the War Room for Clinton and bullied the 'sluts and nuts' into silence (Clinton's victims). Stephanopoulos is a thug. A common ordinary democrat thug.
There are still lawsuits pending. District court judges have a large amount of autonomy so they could hear the case.
However, like all of our institutions, the Fed government as a whole seems very committed to avoiding any entanglement in what they view as a “state issue” and view as achieving their preference (Biden).
I wish this were not so and hope that I am wrong, but I don’t see much “relief” being obtained in federal courts despite the fact that the major issue, the constitutionality of the election, requires relief from the federal judiciary.
“They”, the collective gaggle of institutions, are going to do everything they can to avoid any fair and impartial hearing of the facts. The facts a very strong that the election was 1) unconstitutional and 2) was riddled with massive fraud and illegal ballots.
“If” there is a fair hearing of the fraud it seems most likely to occur in a state courtroom, but don’t expect a lot of media coverage and it will all end up in fed court eventually.
Justice Roberts failure to act on the PA case prior to the election essentially opened the door to what happened and here we are. Barr himself both warned and predicted that massive mail-in balloting would be riddled with fraud, yet he blatantly lied and said there was no evidence of fraud afterwards before “retiring”.
This was not an election. It was a coup.
Don’t forget-— onetime heroin addict. Way back in his history. Lots of info in files on him. He is clintoonian in his disgusting weasel like lying a@@ kissing. He made a lot in real estate inside the Beltway too.
An Apparatchik is what he is. Trump kicked his ass. Paul did pretty good- but, having already been shot at (not as bad a Scalise, but it was Paul’s Capitol Police security who shot the berni-bot loser home inspector with the AR-15 at the baseball diamond Republican practice)— Rand Paul chickened out of truly contesting the Electors of AZ— at that precise calculated moment.
Perhaps he was in on the knowledge this was important they “certify” an illegal fraudulent election to complete the crime of foreign interference. Who knows?
The game of the MSM is to ..... shut us up and ....”Move-On” dot org. Same old horseshite.
Not this time Staphylococcus (the name given him by the legendary GA comedian and writer for ATL Constitution— Lewis Grizzard). Not this time-— we are not “moving on” from your theft.
Questions for Mr GS:
Your party’s candidate for president is a lifelong serial liar, plagiarizer, thief, sexual abuser, and international blackmailer who isn’t fit to show his face in public. The overwhelming evidence for his fraudulent election has never been examined in an open and forthright forum, yet you pretend this obviously senile crooked old politician is America’s legitimate chief executive. These are the stone cold undeniable facts, George. When are you going to live up to your professional responsibilities, stop lying, and actually inform the American people that a coup d’etat has stolen their right to elect their own leaders, instead of trying to pull the wool over their eyes? George, first and foremost, are you an American or are you a Democrat?
“And you can’t just sweep it under the rug and say, ‘Oh, nothing to see here, and everybody is a liar and you’re a fool if you bring this up.’ You’re inserting yourself into the story. A journalist would hear both sides and there are two sides of a story,” he said.
Paul's right - a real journalist would look at both sides. More proof Georgie Bog isn't a real journalist - he's just playing one because ABC is corrupt as hell...

The 2020 election data won’t hold up. Eventually they’ll have to provide the number of votes, in every county or precinct.
The crowd that doesn’t think this election was stolen, most likely don’t study demographics.
Immigration dried up during the last financial crisis, its at the lowest levels we’ve ever recorded. Fertility rates are way down, also.
Where did all these new voters come from?
Did Charlie bring a bunch of Oompa Loompas into the country, between the 2016 & 2020 elections?
We either kill off vote by mail or we embrace it, and start registering transients in all the rural counties.
That is the second time I have heard reporters insist their interviewee "say the words, this election was not stolen," They sure are objecting alot, what do they intend to do to those who refuse to "say the words"?
That man really swings my moods- one minute he’s the best ever and the next I want to kick him in the pants. :P
Here he was a very good boy. Actually, I think he may be one of the brightest senators.
The number. Fake number. Keeps going up. Now it’s 86 courts Uh huh
There hasn’t been one case heard. They’re clearly afraid of the left. Who have murdered judges and intimidated numerous others
Kudos to Rand. He handled step on all of us well.
This is NOT GOING AWAY.
IF WE DONT GET A HOLD OF THIS America is OVER
I THINK OUR GRREAT PREZ IS WAITING FOR NOW.
“ there is no evidence “ is not a tenable position
Dominion. Hammer and scorecard. The machines. Major issue
They stole lots lots of elections. Including GA senate seats
The cat is out of the bag. At least 80 -100 million. Know the facts
Ie. Kraken-Wood. Or Www.hereistheevidence.com Or MATT BRAYNARD
The claim that the election was not stolen is unfounded. It is most certainly NOT a fact.
Where are the reports that show that there were no election irregularities such as outright voter fraud, ballot mishandling, contestable process fouls, equal protection clause violations, voting machine irregularities, and significant statistical anomalies?
Where are the results of deep audits and forensic examination of the voting machines?
Election integrity concerns are a show stopper for the 2020 election. These concerns must be put away or addressed now.
