Trump claims Democrats 'using COVID to steal an election'

[sabra]

Source: The Hill

President Trump on Monday claimed Democrats are using the coronavirus to "steal" the 2020 election, arguing closures of businesses and demands for mail-in voting are not driven by a pandemic that has killed nearly 180,000 Americans in five months, but to defeat him.

"What they’re doing is using COVID to steal an election," Trump told delegates at the Republican National Convention gathering in Charlotte, N.C. "They’re using COVID to defraud the American people, all of our people, of a fair and free election. We can’t do that."

...

Trump also repeated claims dispute by experts that mail ballots would be fraudulent and that they do not have security features to avoid fraud. Experts have consistently said there is little evidence of meaningful fraud in mail ballots.

...

Monday marked a rare instance where Trump directly accused Democrats of overstating the threat of the pandemic to gain an advantage in the election.

1. Pure projection

what about the stolen election, public lands, regulations, rule of law, Pentagon funding for the wall .....

Does he have a clue of self-awareness?

[Evolve Dammit]

8. Exactly my first thought! God, he is so knee-jerk with reptilian brain behavior.

[Grokenstein]

15. Self-awareness? Why would a Golden God require self-awareness? /s

He can drink wawa like a big boy! Person man woman camera television! What more does a walking deity need to know?

2. Actually, asshat handed us an election with his incompetence and arrogance.

With a huge side of racism.

Thanks pukes!

3. He knows he's already lost the election

He's now setting up the con so he can claim to his base that he actually won after he loses. Probably setting up a fake justification for not leaving office, but it won't work.
This week is going to be an entertaining shit show of a week.

5. a desperate cornered rat bites the hardest.

6. Nonsense

Obama had a CDC pandemic elimination team and playbook all in place for you when you took office Donny.

YOU chose to dismantle it and flail around while Covid-19 turned into the out-of-control monster it now is.

You OWN this, Donny. This is an example of why you can't be the president.

7. what a strange, strange mind he has. Totally detached from any reality.

9. More brilliance (😜) from the feeble mind of Donald Trump.

[Midnight Writer]

10. Mr. President, you did nothing to stop the pandemic. It pays to do the right thing, and you didn't.

Good policies make good politics.

[Astraea]

11. another way to say that

you handed us the election with your botched COVID response.

See? Much better.

[Initech]

12. No we're doing this to keep people alive.

Sheesh, the shit head has to turn everything political.

13. No one knows more about stealing elections than traitor trump.

14. He's terrified that he won't be able to stop the post office from delivering mail.

The House received about 64% of the vote on the law that funds the post office, and forces them to reverse changes. It's possible that if the Senate passes it, there would be a veto proof majority in each house.

16. With him, as with all republicans

Their accusations are confessions.

Accusing others of what they are guilty of.

17. Dear Donnie

People thinking you're doing a crap job and voting for the other guy is not generally considered "stealing."
