CNN Scrambles to Explain Away Joe Biden Saying 2022 Midterms Could Be “Illegitimate”
The Summit News ^ | 01/20/2022 | Paul Joseph Watson

Posted on 01/20/2022 8:15:18 AM PST by thegagline

Former President Donald Trump was vehemently monstered by the media both in 2016 and 2020 for suggesting the election outcome could be compromised.

Following the riot on January 6 last year, Trump’s so-called undermining of the election process was blamed for the raid on the Capitol itself.

Tens of millions of Trump supporters who believe the 2020 election was rigged have also been denounced as everything from dangerous radicals to domestic terrorists.

So when Joe Biden questioned the legitimacy of the upcoming election during a live press conference, the media was placed in an invidious position.

Biden was asked by a reporter if the election could be considered legitimate if he was unable to pass his voting reforms.

“It all depends on whether or not we’re able to make the case to the American people that some of this is being set up to try to alter the outcome of the election,” Biden responded.

This second attempt from Biden on whether the election will be legit is even worse.

"Oh, yeah, I think it could easily be illegitimate … The increase in the prospect of being illegitimate is in proportion to not being able to get these reforms passed." *** “I’m not saying it’s going to be legit,” Biden added, before noting, “The increase in the prospect of being illegitimate is in direct proportion to us not being able to get these reforms passed.” ***

CNN hosts also scrambled to explain away Biden’s clumsy response.

“Well, particularly the first part, Anderson, what he said was–actually, the entire thing, but particularly the first part was, probably the most jarring to hear a president of the United States who is not Donald Trump even suggest, ahead of time, that an election isn’t legitimate,” said Dana Bash. ***

True, but let’s not forget the public comment about “the greatest fraud machine ever”. Joe’s an imbicile.

So no use of the word “unfounded” when it comes to Biden claiming election fraud.

Elections where Democrats lose are illegitimate. Recount everything and investigate.

When Democrats win, all is well. Shred all the evidence and on to the next election.

Time to de-platform and impeach Biden/Harris for being obviously illegitimate.

Yes. He gave away the game. When they lose this year, it will be “illegitimate.”

And therefore justify riots, burning, looting. Mass formation of the brownshirts.

Remember it was HILLARY and not Trump who FIRST said under no circumstances should Biden concede the election!

And it was LIBERALS who claimed that BOTH Bush and Trump’s elections were illegitimate !

Along with W Bush bombing the world trade centers!

ALL OF THAT has gone down the rabbit hole!

Dana Bash’s propaganda points:

1. Trump’s claim election fraud happened: False

2. Biden’s claim election fraud will happen: Truth

3. Georgia’s law allows Republican Secretary of State to steal election.

4. She’s an ugly, bitterly partisan mouthpiece (didn’t actually say that, but just watch her!).

Maybe this is a lame strategy to posture months from now that the midterm big red wave in Congress is somehow illegitimate.

The notion that the so-called voting rights act somehow helps make voting more secure is beyond absurd, it’s insulting.

Any Rino who goes to the Biden SOTU speech should
be primaried because Asterisk Joe is illegitimate
Trump won.

Going to hear him lie about how well he is doing
is BS and shows how Rino GOP sold us out.
