Daniel Dale: We’re Approaching Six Years of President Trump Lying He Won the 2020 Election

EXCERPT:

DALE: "And yet, as you said, we‘re approaching six years of him lying that he won. Recently, he‘s begun saying that so much proof has already emerged of his claims that the election was rigged, and that he was the real winner. No such proof has emerged. He‘s even started saying that he is in his third term as president, so inventing an imaginary and unconstitutional victory. And then there‘s an entire cinematic universe, dozens of additional lies, frankly, too many to go through, claims that he won the popular vote in all three of his presidential elections. In fact, he only won it in 2024. Wild conspiracies about China, Italy, other countries using voting machines to flip votes simply did not happen. And then other claims about mail-in ballots. You heard one there that they‘re crooked, they‘re corrupt. They simply are not, although the fraud rates are slightly elevated compared to in-person voting, and mail-in ballots have been good enough for legitimate voters, including one Donald J. Trump, who's been voting by mail himself. He‘s also claimed recently that the U.S. is the only country that continues to use mail-in ballots. Again, simply not true. Dozens of countries continue to do so, and they include, Jake, major democracies like Canada, the U.K., Germany, Australia and Switzerland."
