Sen. Paul does not unequivocally say 2020 election wasn't stolen

Source: ABC News

Days after President Joe Biden took office and the Democrats took control of the U.S. Senate, Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., would not unequivocally say Sunday that the 2020 presidential election was not stolen and called for an investigation of fraud, without providing evidence.

"The debate over whether or not there was fraud should occur, we never had any presentation in court where we actually looked at the evidence. Most of the cases were thrown out for lack of standing, which is a procedural way of not actually hearing the question," Paul said on ABC's "This Week."

"No election is perfect," Stephanopoulos continued, through interruptions by Paul. "After investigations, counts and recounts, the Department of Justice -- led by (Trump-appointed Attorney General) William Barr -- said there's no widespread evidence of fraud. Can't you just say the words: 'This election was not stolen?'"

Paul responded, "What I would suggest is that if we want greater confidence in our elections -- and 75% of Republicans agree with me -- is that we do need to look at election integrity."

Do you or have you ever heard of the name Brian Sicknick?
Do you think people should die based on how people vote ?
..when people start getting killed based on lies and calling an election fraudulent , then a country begins its slide into fascism.
Stephanopoulos should have asked you that question and then asked if you are going to convict insurrectionists and seditionists

Rand is calling all 50 governors and all 50 Secretary of States liars. He's calling every county board of elections in the whole country liars. He's calling every poll worker in America liars. How nice.
