Sen. JD Vance refused to acknowledge that former president Donald Trump lost the 2020 election, setting off one of the most contentious exchanges in Tuesday night’s vice-presidential debate with Gov. Tim Walz.
Walz vigorously pressed Vance on the issue near the end of a debate that had otherwise been marked by unusual comity. “I would just ask, did he lose the 2020 election?” Walz asked.
“Tim, I’m focused on the future,” Vance said, without addressing the question.
“That is a damning non-answer,” Walz responded.
The Republican senator from Ohio and the Democratic governor of Minnesota offered sharply different perspectives on the attack on the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, Trump’s lies about his 2020 loss and whether each ticket would accept the results this fall.

Vance has previously said that if he had been vice president that day, he would have allowed Trump’s electoral votes to be considered by Congress from states where he had not won. Experts and lawyers say that approach would have violated the Constitution. On Tuesday he suggested that his intention would have been merely to allow for a debate over the election

Gaslighting fabulists Patrick Marley and Amy Gardner at the Washington Poop are angry.
contesting electoral votes is in the Constitution
and its been done before
commiepost can go spit
ROTFL! Sounds like Patty and Amy couldn’t find anything to write about this morning. They had to go back to 2020 when the commie RAT turd rollers stole the election.
Nice try A’holes....NO SALE
Yes it’s strange
It’s further evidence JD is a good egg. He’s not cowering to them.
The Left wants to put the “election integrity” issue to bed and nail it shut, so they have free rein to continue to cheat. It will NOT happen.
1) Never tested, so this is a matter of opinion. "Experts" don't have a good track record lately.
2) The Democrats passed a law in 2021 to ban the action that had been proposed. They made it illegal. Why did they take steps to make it illegal, if they believed it was unconstitutional??
3) Kamala Harris has said, recently, that if Trump wins in a questionable way, she would refuse to certify the votes. Which would (I guess) be both unconstitutional and also (now) illegal. But she doesn't care about stuff like that. It's not wrong when they do it.
Hoe many questions were there about the Trump assassination attempt? I’m guessing none.. that happened less than 3 months ago. January 6th was 3 years ago...for those keeping score.
Right out of Mao’s playbook.
So why did Congress subsequently amend the electoral count act afterwards?
I'll bet if the Washington Post were asked to what experts they are referring, you would get the following:
President Trump didn’t lose. Biden was installed.
WaPo. The bottom line is that Vance won that debate hands down. He made old Mr. Grumpers the liar and bumbler admit to the world “I’m a knucklehead” and I “mis spoke.”
Vance showed that they can’t just whisk away the last 4 years on only talk about how bad Trump’s term was. He showed them those 4 years were nothing but a demented old man and a moron Border Czar who NEVER was there.
Vance even put the mods in their fact-check place.
“ Experts and lawyers say that approach would have violated the Constitution. ”
Such bullshit. Hawaii did this in 1960. It has happened at other times in the past also. This is that theory that the counting of the electoral votes is merely ceremonial and that congress has no right to discern fraud.
The founders were not just designing some pageantry. But they were very concerned about reality and distribution of power.
The gaslighters at The Poop don't want you thinking about stuff like that.
They are very big angry.
2 cents and a 2nd grade Ed would use common sense and conclude Trump won, but hey, when in a banana Republic, do as they do.
He’s an impressive guy Vance
"TRUMP DIDN'T LOSE IN 2020!"
"See, nobody cares!"
Contesting electoral college votes, there is the answer to these idiots
