Virginia’s Youngkin says Biden is ‘legitimately elected president’

Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin (R) on Sunday acknowledged President Biden was “legitimately elected president” as Republicans continue to be peppered with questions about whether the 2020 election was legitimate.

Pressed by ABC News’ George Stephanopoulus on whether the 2020 election was stolen, Youngkin said, “Well, I’ve consistently said that Joe Biden was legitimately elected president. He’s sleeping in the White House. I wish he weren’t.”

... pretending he was elected doesn’t make it so.

I certainly do not so pretend.

It is important to recognize he sits in the office and there is no law by which he can be removed prior to the end of his term. He was elected but only because Congress by its action said so.

Pathetically it was not via the type of election most of us are familiar with, or especially one the founders had in mind.

That is why this specific fight is by any measure, as you suggest, "...a fight that can’t be won and is not worth expending energy on..."

“ Half of FR will burn youngkin at the stake now”

No.

Just won’t ever support him for any National office.

His career is over after this.

I have less of a problem with someone who says: “Whether Biden is legitimate or not, he is probably going to be there for the remainder of his term. We need to concentrate on ensuring that the 2024 election, and those that follow, ARE legitimate.”

What Youngkin said is a green light to thes Uniparty that he is on board with them and would be an acceptable candidate because he will do their bidding.

I am glad he won in Virginia, but that comment means no-sale to me.

Your just butt hurt because desaanctomonious is a total disappointment and a loser, just like you.

[joshua c]

Youngkin has done a good job

[howlinhound]

” He’s sleeping in the White House.”

It appears he does a lot of his sleeping on the beach.

What’s wrong with saying, “many believe he’s not, and I’m not about to dismiss the concerns that I’m unable to prove true or false ”

Or "Since Obama was elected twice, we know that there are many dumbass voters, so, we can't be certain one way or another at this point, whether Biden would have received enough electoral votes without cheating."

If he had said something like that, ABC might have censored it.

[GrumpyOldGuy]

Republicans, Democrats… two sides of the same coin.

[sauropod]

bkmk

[AppyPappy]

That is obvious but it doesn’t mean that the Democrats didn’t cheat to do it.

There should a be button to Like or Laugh at comments on here.

Yours is awesome.

[qaz123]

Only because they would have to.

That is, if they still fall for the tried and true....If you don’t vote for the RINO/UNIPARTY/GOPe/Establishment Clown, the Democrat will win.

lol — very good

Pelosi stepped down so she could just ‘day trade’ and the Potato In Chief was getting everything he wanted from RINO McCarthy and all his pals.

“So you actually think that blithering Biden got smoothing like 15 million more votes then Obama ever got.”

I believe that Trump 2020 got about 11 million more votes than Trump 2016.

I believe that Biden 2020 got about 11 million more votes than Obama’s best total (2008).

I believe that the 2020 electorate was historically large. One reason was population growth. Another reason was that Trump’s record as President, a clear departure from that of all of his predecessors, was a very polarizing factor – some people were galvanized to vote for him while others were galvanized to vote against him. The biggest reason, though, was that many states made mail-in voting or early in-person voting so much easier. These rule changes result in millions of additional LEGITIMATE votes for each candidate.

The rule changes also made it easier for people to cheat. Whether the cheating benefited one side more than the other is a legitimate inquiry, but the raw numbers by themselves don’t prove anything. If they did, Dinesh D’Souza wouldn’t have needed to make a whole film about the mules.

My question is whether Youngkin has pursued the inquiry. Has he used his powers as Governor to investigate voting procedures in Virginia? Has he used his platform to encourage other governors to investigate?

Or is he just hunkering down and playing it safe?

[RasterMaster]

He spelled ILLEGITIMATE wrong.

[Jarhead9297]

After all this time of every election poll having been discredited over the last 20 years you lol me on yet another poll? Stick to the poll faith I guess.

Lol

[ding_dong_daddy_from_dumas]

I believe that Biden 2020 got about 11 million more votes than Obama’s best total (2008).

Receiving 11M more ballots than 2008 is not necessarily the same as getting 11M more votes, right?

[Apparatchik]

Half of FR will burn youngkin at the stake now

I doubt it’s even half - there’s a very vocal minority of bombthrowers here - same people as the clucks who scream about globohomo and cheer on Russia in Ukraine, as well as the Jew-haters here.

Youngkin is a pretty good governor- forced the Commonwealth to hand back unspent tax money to the people and is pushing to kick out the trans and critical race theory garbage out of schools and keep parents in charge of their children.

Making stupid jokes about his name by some of more intellectually challenged here is both infantile and counterproductive to promoting conservatism. But at least the mouth breathers are making themselves known.

A new poll from Rasmussen indicates that a majority of U.S. voters believe cheating impacted the 2020 election results.

But now ask them if they like hearing Trump (or anybody) go on about it. I wish Youngkin had answered the question better, but I think most voters are tired of hearing about 2020. They may think that if anything could have been done about it, it would have been, and since there wasn't, it's best to just put it behind us.
