Trump calls for GOP unity, repeats lies about election loss
apnews ^ | 2/28/ 2021 | JILL COLVIN

Taking the stage for the first time since leaving office, former President Donald Trump on Sunday called for GOP unity, even as he exacerbated intraparty divisions by attacking fellow Republicans and promoting lies about the election in a speech that made clear he intends to remain a dominant political force.

Speaking at CPAC, where he has been hailed as a returning hero, Trump blasted his successor, President Biden, and tried to lay out a vision for the future of the GOP that revolves firmly around him, despite his loss in November.

“Do you miss me yet?” Trump said after taking the stage .

Trump had a message for the incumbents who had dared to cross him: “Get rid of ’em all.”

Speakers repeated in panel after panel his unfounded claims that he lost reelection only because of mass voter fraud, even though such claims have been rejected by judges, Republican state officials and Trump’s own administration.

Trump, too, continued to repeat what Democrats have dubbed the “big lie,” calling the election “rigged” and insisting that he won in November, even though he lost by more than 7 million votes.

It is highly unusual for past American presidents to publicly criticize their successors in the months after leaving office. Ex-presidents typically step out of the spotlight for at least a while; Barack Obama was famously seen kitesurfing on vacation after he departed, while George W. Bush said he believed Obama “deserves my silence” and took up painting.

Not Trump.

He delivered a sharp rebuke of what he framed as the new administration’s first month of failures, especially Biden’s approach to immigration and the border.

“Joe Biden has had the most disastrous first month of any president in modern history,” Trump said.

Nope.

No bias there.

How many more years will it take for patriots to figure out we need a new America Firsts party? Very disappointing....

Did Trump call for the ousting of all 43 senators who certified fraudulent electors?

Did he call for voting out all of the representatives who did not challenge the fraudulent electors?

The MSM is losing it over President Trump calling out the Blatant Election Fraud. AOL. Yahoo, MSN. etc...all with the same headline. What’s missing? Not one of them addresses the pertinent points President Trump points out wrt to the election.
Not one MSM outlet addresses a single pertinent point. They all simply decry “it’s a lie!!!”. Donald Trump perpetuates a Lie!!! But, there is never ever an attempt to address the issues raised in the slightest detail. The official Swamp Position is, to denigrate the possibility and to ridicule all those who have signed Sworn Affidavits under penalty of law testifying to extreme voting irregularities.

Yet scumbag Democrat voters like Jill Colvin at the Associated Press continue to provoke Trump voters with inflammatory accusations. Calling Trump a liar after the 3 year collusion fraud by the AP is outrageous. https://t.co/2eHlBy0JKl— Eagle Eye Truth Network (@EagleEy06955220) February 28, 2021
