Trump Repeats Lie About Popular Vote in Meeting With Lawmakers
New York Times ^ | January 23rd, 2017 | Michael Shear, Huetteman

Posted on 01/23/2017 9:03:11 PM PST by ChessExpert

WASHINGTON — President Trump used his first official meeting with congressional leaders on Monday to falsely claim that millions of unauthorized immigrants had robbed him of a popular vote majority, a return to his obsession with the election’s results even as he seeks support for his legislative agenda.

There is ABJECT FEAR on the left regarding this issue.

They are HELL-BENT to get it debunked, and debunked PERMANENTLY, and NOW. The question is why?

The answer is OBVIOUS - any investigation WILL NOT end well for them and they will lose huge numbers of ‘voters’...maybe not enough for Trump to have a majority of the popular vote in 2016...but any number means that REFORMS will have to be done.

How is that false? There is no voter ID in a lot of these Dhimmicrap states, so the worst you can say is that it’s unverifiable (but probably true.)

Hey! Failing New York Slimes! Prove that you are not a bunch of douchebags. You can’t, can you?

I didn’t think so.

To make the argument that President Trump lied, you have to make two arguments”

a) President Trump’s claim is mistaken.

b) President Trump knew his claim was false.

The article does not make a serious argument in either case.

I was inclined to be skeptical about this claim, but seeing that the New York Times has flat out called it a lie I am now convinced of its truth!

Time for photo id with proof of citizenship to register and to vote!!

Apparently, they think they’re the Ministry of Truth, and get to make things untrue by sheer fiat.

Remember that when they got into Detroit’s ballots and found major discrepancies, they immediately shut down Jill Stein’s recount.

In a country where it is illegal to make a voter identify himself, its not hard to imagine significant vote fraud.

So the slimes asserts that illegal votes didn’t tilt the popular vote? Let them prove it. Given past behavior, Slimes can not be believed without truth.

This should be the number one problem for the Trump administration to solve. If this issue goes unsolved all is lost.

CA made it legal for illegals to register and vote in CA elections. There’s nothing stopping them from filling out the federal part of the ballot if they so choose. Millions of illegals voted in this election.

The LIE is for the NY Times to call this a “lie” because it is President Trump offering his opinion about what the intersection of perverse liberal trends (tens of millions of illegals, lax laws and enforcement, Obama and Democrats encouraging illegals to vote etc.) might have meant for the level of illegal votes in 2016.

Actually, the NY Times has NO IDEA what the truth of the matter is, but like any dedicated libtards they assume their belief is correct and denounce everything else as a “lie”....

A federal investigation would be entirely different.

Illegals will never vote in our elections again when they see their fellow illegals thrown in prison for doing it.

No one needs your help finding them. I suggest you do this on your own instead of putting that crap on this site.

Note that the NY Times is slandering the President of the United States on something they have no way of knowing is a lie. They should have thier press credentials revoked, banned from all federal offices and then sued for slander.

Actually.....both California & New York were massively out of line with the rest of the 49 states voting demographic patterns. There is no doubt that illegal voting of all stripes was overwhelming in both states. But....the Democrat illegal vote, was inspired & endorsed by Obama, Clinton and the Democrat Party. There was illegal voting going on in every state of the union, also. Had Nevada & New Hampshire been legal in votes, Trump would have easily carried both these states. Colorado, Virginia & Minnesota were also infected by ilegal votes.

This Democrat sponsered illegal voting was the Obama/Clinton, “ace-in-the-hole” card, that insured them that with thes massive illegal votes Hillary Clinton could lay back, for she was assured a massive defeat over Trump. Trump out foxed them with his massive “LEGAL” votes. The rest is history!!!

I am glad Trump holds this view....for this is the truth of the 2016 POTUS election. I urge Trump & company to get to work, like right now...and begin the task within all fifty states to cleanse the vothing rolls of all illegal types of voters, dead folks, illegal aliens, criminals, folks that vote twice ot more, because of registered in two or more states, etc. Without the illegal vote base....the Democrat Party will die, politically!!! Get on it, Trump, RNC and company!!!

The MSM is going to go to the wall in this pissing match. I don't think they fully understand how many decades Trump has battled, played and outsmarted NYC tabloid gossip strip media.

Go Trump, destroy the NYT, CNN, MSNBC, and all the other fake news outlets.

There is no need to look for evidence of vote fraud, since we have seen no evidence of vote fraud. The Project Veritas videos with Clinton campaign officials and staff planning vote fraud are irrelevant since there is no evidence that fraud actually took place once it was planned on video.
