Mark Meadows claims Biden's 81 million votes in the 2020 election don't represent 'a real number'

Former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows claimed without evidence in his new memoir that the confirmed number of popular votes President Joe Biden received in the 2020 election doesn't represent "a real number."

Since last year's election, Meadows has pushed unfounded conspiracy theories that the election was illegally "rigged" and stolen from Trump. Biden's 81 million votes is "not a real number, and they knew it," he wrote in his memoir, referring to members of the media and political establishment. And he claimed, without evidence, that the media and Democrats "stopped talking about" Biden's vote total because it was made up.

"The Fake News also touted, for about ten seconds, the fact that Joe Biden, a candidate with all the charisma of an old, rusty coin collection, had (supposedly) managed to rack up 81 million votes, more than any candidate in the history of American politics," Meadows wrote. "Then, in what seemed like the blink of an eye, they stopped talking about it. I have a suspicion this if that number were real, you wouldn't have been able to open a newspaper without seeing it."

He concluded, "It was one thing for them to rig the election and get away with it, but even for them, bragging about the theft would be a bridge too far."

Hey shit-for-brains how can a party who's not in power rig an election? I mean Biden took red states like Arizona and Georgia. Who rigged those states?

The reality is Trump only was elected due to an anachronism called the Electoral College. He was never popular with most people. Quit sniffing your own farts and get out into the real world.

In their minds the usual GOP election fraud would keep Trump in the WH (historically, I assume GOP election fraud in every election. Nothing new).
They, and Trump, thought it was in the bag. It didn't work. It wasn't enough.
Americans rejected Trump. Trump whined like a baby, and hundreds of his most violent, degenerate followers attacked the United States of America (Jan. 6th). They will never get the punishment they deserve, regardless of the sentences they recieve.

That's the only thing that's important. It's a waster of time to argue reason or logic.
And it's working just like it's supposed to.
60 percent of Republicans believe it.

That's all this is. they are enemies of the state, traitors. If the Dems don't really get a handle on free, open and fair elections they WILL steal an election at some point soon. I mean they already fucking stole 2000, so the writing was on the wall.

I think this may be one of their biggest agendas. Without it, nothing else will really matter.

My mother always votes Republican, even for TFG in ‘16.

In ‘20 she voted for Biden not because she supports any of his policies, but because TFG is “too much of an ass”.

She lives in Wisconsin.

"Charisma" isn't all there is to a candidate, dipshit.

Regardless, Joe's charisma is that of a trustworthy, well-meaning Grampa. He's not an egoist. He's not a narcissist. He's not a sociopath.

The Cornpop story is funnier every time you hear it, and it was true. There really was a "Cornpop".

"The Former Guy" is genius. "Come on, Man" was genius. Poking pin holes in Trump's ego balloon.
