Republicans Need A Forceful Answer To Democrats’ Deceptive Questions On The 2020 Election
The Federalist ^ | January 16, 2025 | Margot Cleveland

Democrats continue to play games with the Senate confirmation hearings. And while the Trump nominees remain unscathed by the “gotcha” questioning, someone needs to forcefully, substantially — and in a sound-bite — answer their query about whether Donald Trump “lost” the 2020 election.

Pam Bondi, Trump’s nominee for attorney general, sidled near the sweet spot when Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., asked her if she was “prepared to say today under oath without reservation that Donald Trump lost the presidential contest to Joe Biden in 2020.”

“Ranking Member Durbin, President Biden is the president of the United States. He was duly sworn in, and he is the president of the United States,” the attorney general nominee replied.

Durbin persisted, though, asking whether she had “any doubts that Joe Biden had the majority of votes, electoral votes necessary to be elected president in 2020.”

Bondi reiterated that she “accept[s], of course, that Joe Biden is president of the United States, what I can tell you is what I saw firsthand when I went to Pennsylvania as an advocate for the campaign. I was an advocate for the campaign, and I was on the ground in Pennsylvania and I saw many things there, but do I accept the results? Of course I do. Do I agree with what happened, and I saw so much. You know, no one from either side of the aisle should want there to be any issues with election integrity in our country. We should all want our elections to be free and fair and the rules and the laws to be followed.”

“I think that question deserved a yes or no, and I think the length of your answer is an indication that you weren’t prepared to answer yes,” Durbin retorted.

Sen. Dick Blumenthal, D-Conn., would later revisit...

All six swing states stopped counting votes at 10-11 pm to prevent Trump from getting to the magic 270. Vote-counting was extended for a week or longer under the pretext of “covid.”

There were million of illegal and unajudicated mail-in ballots

There were blatantly illegal, unsupervised ballot drop boxes used in several states, funded by tech oligarchs

there was outright censorship of social media by organs of the US Government, including intelligence agencies.

Vote results had almost zero correlation to previous results in terms of bell-weathers and many blue districts showed absurd anomalies in both voter registration and voting results

YES, the 2020 election was phony as hell

Concrete, undeniable facts they could use.

Social media censored the Hunter laptop story
51 ex spooks claimed it was Russian disinfo
Several states’ election laws/rules were changed by someone other than the legislators. A judge, election boards and Secs of State .

All of the above were violations of the constitution and at least tainted the election.

“I just do not understand why I feel there are a lot of guilty consciouses in the room regarding elections and vengeance, but Joey Biden is President.”

2020 was a coup that used a China made Virus to steal America . The installed wanna be dictator then used his illegitimate power to crush any dissent as to how he got there.

For them it is an oath, a catechism question, a password for inclusion into the club, a recant in an inquisition. Say it, or be stoned in the square.

But after four years it is just mean girls showing their insecurity. Say I’m pretty, or I will destroy you online.

Democrats doing all they can to make sure nobody gets selected who might look into their shady (corrupt) dealings.

Some factual information was covered up by the Democrats, and their trained lap dogs in the media.

Would someone, somewhere in government please have the balls to say it was stolen? Quit playing their stupid game.
Throw back at them if they are prepared to say the Russia dossier was an FBI/Hillary/Hoax.

Here's the forceful answer that should've been said over and over and over again; "We had a two year investigation into what turned out to be the russian collusion hoax of the 2016 election, paid for by the democrat party. We have credible evidence of voting irregularities in 2020 and demand a similar investigation!!!"

I was hoping to come across those graphics. Thank you.

Bye-bye, Brandon the Fraud! I hope your entire administration is rendered legally null and void and your Chyna bucks are fully clawed back.
