A Democratic myth has arisen that former President Donald Trump’s denial of the accuracy of the 2020 vote was “unprecedented.”
Unfortunately, the history of U.S. elections is often a story of both legitimate and illegitimate election denialism.
The 1800, 1824, 1876, and 1960 elections were all understandably questioned. In some of these cases, a partisan House of Representatives decided the winner.
Presidential candidate Al Gore in 2000 did not accept the popular vote results in Florida. He spent five weeks futilely contesting the state’s tally – until recounts and the Supreme Court certified it.
The ensuing charge that former President George W. Bush was “selected not elected” was the Democrats’ denialist mantra for years.
In 2004, Senator Barbara Boxer, D-Calif. and 31 Democratic House members voted not to certify the Ohio election results in their unhinged efforts to overturn the election. Those denialists included the current sanctimonious chairman of the January 6 select committee, U.S. Representative Benny Thompson, D-Miss.
After 2016, crackpot Democratic orthodoxy for years insisted that Trump had “colluded” with Russia to “steal” certain victory from Hillary Clinton.
Clinton herself claimed that Trump was not a “legitimate” president. No wonder she loudly joined #TheResistance to obstruct his presidency.

“Better question is who denies the 2020 Election was fraudulent and thus invalid?”
Anyone rational.
Most ignorant libs are just looking at nationwide popular vote results because they don't understand the Electoral College.
I think BiteME really got 81 MILLION votes. /sarc
The one that gets me is that the Democrats made Stacey Abrams the centerpiece of their 2020 convention based solely on her status as an election denier.
I have been saying this from the start along with the FACT that the LEFT occupied the Wisconsin CAPTIAL for MONTHS in 2011.
But the left likes to pretend a demonstration has never happened in a capital before.
“I think BiteME really got 81 MILLION votes. /sarc”
Yeppers. It is not the 81 million votes we question, it is the 81 million voters.
Or maybe 61 million voters producing 81 million Votes.
“Election denier” is another highly persuasive made-up term Democrats invented and abuse to twist public debate, akin to “assault weapon”, “climate change”, “gender affirmation”, etc - all terms people instantly relate to, and in a way beneficial to Progressive causes, while distracting from the reality that what’s imputed really doesn’t exist (mapping to realities of “sore loser”, “sport utility rifle”, “natural variation”, and “sexual mutilation”, terms which Progressives handle by flatly ignoring them).
A Democratic myth....brainwashing will do that to you. If you only get news from the alphabet media, then you live in a fake world.
The Daily Machine stole Illinois and Archie Parr stole Texas. And, Bam, JFK becomes President.
“That post certainly aligns with the rest of your trollish posting on FreeRepublic.”
Provide one example.
This. And Liz Cheney serves on this committee with him as the leader - a man who denies the election of her own father.
Obviously you can provide no example.
I post here that the election of Biden was obvious election fraud. You call that trolling.
Dont believe your lying eyes, as ballots are stuffed overnight, stuffed over 2 weeks, and mules delivering bags of ballots caught on camera.
changed the trajectory forever ...

It was outright fraud. Biden was not elected. He is not a legitimate president.
I was called a troll for saying this.
