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.

Not sure that Trump lost.

I am certain that he won. I've looked at enough evidence of fraud to prove conclusively to myself that Trump won by the largest margin since Reagan defeated Mondale.

Trump got more votes than any previous president in history.

That Biden got 15 million more than Obama is obvious proof of fraud.

As you can see, the far-left MSM's CBS fake-news network is now excitedly promoting its "CBS News Chief" Major Garrett who is repeatedly, publicly, and falsely claiming "GOP" voters "are [guilty of] dragging down American democracy." The "CBS News Chief" Major Garrett then therefore concludes Republicans who are unhappy with the 2020 election (which Garrett claims was totally "fair") will "dismantle democracy," inevitably leading to "a procedural Civil War where we separate ourselves from another ... and the Union, the United States itself, bit by bit begins to break apart."

Suspiciously, what the "CBS News Chief" Major Garrett totally ignores is the fact that the Democrats/RINOs created a secret "cabal" in 2019 to plan and implement their election steal. So the first step in what CBS and Major Garrett now call the "dismantling" of "[American] democracy" was clearly and obviously taken by Democrats/RINOs in 2019 ... or far earlier. (Please don't take my word for it, given that I'm Republican and could potentially be biased in my viewpoint. Instead, read the far-left Time Magazine's February 2021 article in which that far-left magazine publicly admits and brags about a "secret" "cabal" of Democrats/RINOs who gathered in 2019 to plan/implement their election steal -- Time Magazine instead called it "Saving" the election away from President Trump.) In other words, the Democrats/RINOs couldn't care less what the voters actually wanted - the Democrats/RINOs decided to steal the election and that's all there is to it. (Tough luck, Republicans, libertarians, and conservatives.)

As I said, don't take my word for it. Read the far-left Time Magazine's article for yourself (in which Time brags about stealing -- oops, "Saving!" -- the election away from the hugely successful & hugely popular President Trump:

Time Magazine: The Secret History of the Shadow Campaign That Saved the 2020 Election (published February 4, 2021)

The Democrats lionized Stacey Abrams precisely because she refused to accept the results of an election, and literally claimed to be the lawful governor. They made her a highlighted, special guest at their 2020 Convention precisely because she denied the results of a lawful election.

So screw them.

While it is true she uttered the words, her actions completely contradict them.

Vote counting stopped....and started again in the middle of the night.

Poll watchers kicked out.

Undated ballotd accepted without question.

The UN wouldn’t have Certified the 2020 election in a 3rd world country. Even the UN has standards.

Even Republicans refer to America as a democracy. These jerks signed a pledge to a document they never read. It’s pathetic. If it were up to me, these thugs who call themselves Congressment would have to take an EXAM and name the elements in the Bill of Rights. … and be subject to arbitrary drug testing.

This is why Fox canned him. He couldn’t get a primetime slot from the Old Man (Ailes), yet he believed he was as sanctimonious as O’Reilly. Don’t forget he didn’t ‘jump’ to CBS, he took a last-second back-handed offer from the National Journal! LOFL.

Stating what clearly happened in 2020, it wasn’t a fraudulent election.

Given the source of this statement, CBS, means the opposite is probably true.

He can write all the books he wants, but if he does not show that the growing mountain of evidence was NOT fraud, then the books are worthless propaganda.

Even if CBS just skims the evidence of fraud, they would have a different take. As we have it the book is just another incomplete, unconvincing junk narrative.

To me CBS Is the Communist Broadcastng System.

"He added, “I’ve talked to many Trump supporters who don’t have a coherent or explicable idea of how the election was stolen. They just feel something is wrong, and by articulating that something was wrong there – that is an act of allegiance to former President Trump, which is very important to them, and their own political identity. And they’re not going to abandon the former president just because some nagging journalists like me, or an election law expert, like David, suggest to them that they ought to. That loyalty to Trump and Trumpism, I believe, is a collection place for the idea that something was fundamentally wrong with the 2020 election, even if they can’t exactly explain what that thing was. They don’t want to divorce themselves from former President Trump, and they don’t want the movement that they were so inspired by to disappear. Therefore, they stay here, even though they can’t routinely explain why.”

Bring your bitch David Becker on this website and I'll have you both in tears, Garrett.

Bellwether counties. Note the 'score' key, Major Dumb. The only election that even comes remotely close to the painfully obvious red-alarm status of 2020 is -- the 1960 JFK cheat, right before JFK beat and raped Marilyn Monroe. You come on this website, don't bring your weak shit.

They keep conflating disgust with DC and our recognition of a clearly stolen election with American freedom and “democracy” in danger.

They better wake up. The fact is, America caught them, they are completely exposed for all to see.

And funny how major doesn’t notice that woman in Georgia who claims she won, Hillary, Al gore, etc, they get to contest elections all they want.
