In recent days, Republicans have begun offering a comical new line of spin: The very idea that Republicans remain committed to Donald Trump’s lie that his 2020 loss was illegitimate is just your imagination. Republicans do accept that President Biden was legitimately elected, say these Republicans.

Good news, Republicans! If this is true, you have a simple way to demonstrate this to the nation right now!

You can begin by full-throatedly denouncing the sham recount that’s underway in Arizona right now, and calling for it to stop, on the grounds that the outcome there — and everywhere else — is not remotely in doubt in any way.

The recount of Maricopa County ballots is only about casting doubt on the election’s legitimacy, and every Republican knows it. Yet despite this, or perhaps because of it, very few Republicans will call for it to stop. They should be pressed to explain why.

 

 

All this is crystallized by two things that went viral over the weekend. First, Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-Tex.) had an explosive exchange with NBC’s Chuck Todd in which Crenshaw piously blamed the media for keeping alive the idea that Republicans question the 2020 outcome.

Arizona Republicans erupt at Trump

In a remarkable moment, Stephen Richer, the Republican official who heads the Maricopa County elections department, tore into Trump over the weekend as “unhinged” over his support for a recount of votes in the county, which has been sponsored by GOP state legislators.

“We can’t indulge these insane lies anymore,” Richer tweeted, in response to Trump’s claim that the county’s entire voter registration database has been “DELETED.”

“This is unhinged,” Richer added. “I’m literally looking at our voter registration database on my other screen. Right now.”

What a disappointment Crenshaw is. I’m glad he has exposed himself.

The more they protest too much, the more credence they give to allegations of fraud and election theft.

The more they repeat the same talking points word for word, the less credibility the media has. Goebbels was wrong. A lie repeated loudly and often cannot be accepted as true. The media is spreading the Big Lie that Trump’s claims of election fraud is The Big Lie. I believe my lying eyes, which are saying that the election was stolen.
