Trump calls for GOP unity, repeats lies about election loss
apnews ^ | 2/28/ 2021 | JILL COLVIN

Taking the stage for the first time since leaving office, former President Donald Trump on Sunday called for GOP unity, even as he exacerbated intraparty divisions by attacking fellow Republicans and promoting lies about the election in a speech that made clear he intends to remain a dominant political force.

Speaking at CPAC, where he has been hailed as a returning hero, Trump blasted his successor, President Biden, and tried to lay out a vision for the future of the GOP that revolves firmly around him, despite his loss in November.

“Do you miss me yet?” Trump said after taking the stage .

Trump had a message for the incumbents who had dared to cross him: “Get rid of ’em all.”

Speakers repeated in panel after panel his unfounded claims that he lost reelection only because of mass voter fraud, even though such claims have been rejected by judges, Republican state officials and Trump’s own administration.

Trump, too, continued to repeat what Democrats have dubbed the “big lie,” calling the election “rigged” and insisting that he won in November, even though he lost by more than 7 million votes.

It is highly unusual for past American presidents to publicly criticize their successors in the months after leaving office. Ex-presidents typically step out of the spotlight for at least a while; Barack Obama was famously seen kitesurfing on vacation after he departed, while George W. Bush said he believed Obama “deserves my silence” and took up painting.

Not Trump.

He delivered a sharp rebuke of what he framed as the new administration’s first month of failures, especially Biden’s approach to immigration and the border.

“Joe Biden has had the most disastrous first month of any president in modern history,” Trump said.

Brainwashed DC stenographer, to quote El Rushbo.

Lies? Wow. The media refuses to do anything but carry water for the Stalinists.

Biden lost. He was as unpopular as any candidate in recent memory. Trump was the MOST popular with a 4-year track record that rivaled Reagan and probably more robust, given the opposition and COVID-19.

Nutbag Libs.

My teenage son asked me the same question. If you voted for Biden, stand up in each county and be counted.

We all know the fix was in and these fake Commie “journalists” are like the guy with the broom and dustpan after the elephants, scooping up Democratic lie poop.

There were no lies about election monkey business. There was more evidence that cheating existed than one could believe. The media are the liars.

It’s convenient that the AP didn’t mention that Clarence Thomas wanted the issue of election laws of a presidential race being changed by the state courts without the approval of the state legislature to be heard in the U.S. Supreme Court. Sadly a majority of the U.S. Supreme Court didn’t want to hear the case.

If the AP is so concerned about “TRUTH”, perhaps they’ll run the transcript of this video.

“and promoting lies about the election”

There was a time when a major news outlet would have reported instead of submitting an editorial opinion as fact. “Continued to assert his belief that the election was stolen through fraud” is the language they would have used.

Reuters is using the “promoting lies” line also.

All the MSM parrots have received their official talking points.

Did states change election laws without going through the legislature? It is no lie that they did, which is in direct violation of the Constitution. The Supreme Court should have nullified those elections that did. However, the Dems had the Supreme Court intimidated by threatening to impose new positions on the Court. That stopped them from executing their constitutional duty.

“ Did Trump call for the ousting of all 43 senators who certified
fraudulent electors?”

“Did he call for voting out all of the representatives who did not
challenge the fraudulent electors?”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

No, he did not, at least not yet, not directly.
He did name a bunch, though.
And wasn’t that 43 RINOs, but 93 feckless senators in all?

Somehow, even so, I don’t think he’s done with them yet.

You can always tell the propagandists. First, they have no comment area.

Ms. Colvin is one sick news person. None of what she publishes is valid. She needs to get a domestic type job.

The Associated Press.....(whatever that is and I’m a forty year news professional)

never gave Donald Trump time to become president.....ever. They were in on the witch hunt from day one. I want to see a single story that was weighted in favor on the incoming President Trump. You can’t find one......

They spent four years bashing Trump voters.....don’t they understand how damaging that was????

There never will be peace in this nation as long the American Pravada is allowed to operate.
