Major Garrett: MAGA GOP ‘Unhappy’ Trump Lost Are Dragging Down American Democracy
Breitbart ^ | 09/19/2022 | Pam Key

Posted on 09/19/2022 11:06:02 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

CBS News chief Washington correspondent Major Garrett said Sunday on CBS’s “Face the Nation” that MAGA Republicans who were “unhappy” former President Donald Trump lost the 2020 election were dragging down American democracy.

Anchor Margaret Brennan asked, “How dangerous is the moment that we are in?

Garrett said, “It feels more dangerous, Margaret than any I’ve encountered in covering politics at the national level since 1990. David and I had to write this book, but we wish we didn’t have to. Stating what clearly happened in 2020, it wasn’t a fraudulent election. No crime was committed. That doesn’t mean you have to be happy with the result, but one of the burdens of democracy is when you’re unhappy with the result, your obligation is to win the next election, not slander, baselessly, the election you fairly lost. And we have a component of American politics now that wants to slander an election that was fairly lost because they’re unhappy. And that unhappiness does not entitle you to drag down American democracy because if Margaret, we enter a phase in American life where either political party refuses to accept a fair and verified election simply because it lost, then we will dismantle democracy bit by bit before our very eyes. And that’s what I am, what we are driving at when we talk about the coming contours of not a bloody civil war, but a procedural Civil War where we separate ourselves from another and the Union, the United States itself, bit by bit begins to break apart.

The evidence of Election thievery is overwhelming. They will say that it is not into perpetuity as long as they thrive and profit with this unbelievably idiotic political hack and his handlers pretending to be running things.

Of course he said the same thing after 2016. Oh he didn’t...he and the rest of these lunatics put shackles on Trump in the form of fake investigations. They didn’t even want him to have a one on one with the President of Russia. These people are disgusting.

What I fear is that they are trying to preemptively discredit any future claims of election fraud, which means they plan to keep on doing it.

When they say “democracy,” they mean what normal people call trannies and buttseks. We don’t have a democracy. Never have had one. Don’t want one.

There is no government in America.

Keep your head down, collect the money the "government" stole from you, and make sure you're a hornet's nest if they decide to step on you.

No Step On Snek

The Democrats were thrilled that the Deep State, in cooperation with the MSM, tainted the election process, suppressed Hunter’s laptop, tanked Ashley’s diary, unlawfully spied on Trump’s campaign, conspired to put up two false impeachments, and otherwise dirty-up Trump in order to allow Brandon to be “elected” and destroy our Constitutional Republic.

David and I had to write this book, but we wish we didn’t have to.

And, of course, we will cash the checks.

Shut up, assclown.

There is a very, very long list of election irregularities, not all of which were proven to be factual, but as TIME Magazine bragged, with Zuckerburg of Zuckbucks fame, and the FBI confirming the fix, it was unquestionably rigged.

54% of voters say their vote would have been cast differently if they’d known about Hunter Biden’s laptop.

And these bozos want us to believe there is no reason to protest ? You’re dead to me. If I ever believed anything you reported, I will no longer do so, ever again.
You’re blind.

These fascist douchebags really piss me off. Listen, Major Idiot, in this country we are allowed to argue with anything we want. You can't "slander" a process, like an innocent person. Leaving aside the argument about whether the election was illegally altered (it was), every single person in this country is allowed to decide, on their own, how fair they think it was. They are not mandated to accept your opinion on the legitimacy of the outcome.

For further clarification, ask fat liberal bastards like Al Gore, Stacey Abrams or Hillary Clinton.

Yet no one calls out Hillary for denying Trump won in 2016

Maybe because she conceded the morning after the election and asked her supporters to give Trump “an open mind and the chance to lead.”
