Trump's Chief Of Staff Just Gave A Truly Mind-Numbing Response In Defense Of Voter Fraud Claim

Trump's Chief Of Staff Just Gave A Truly Mind-Numbing Response In Defense Of Voter Fraud Claim
CNN

With operations at the U.S. Postal Service stalling in the face of suppressed resources, President Donald Trump and his allies are continuing a campaign to sow mistrust of voting by mail only months ahead of an expected record number of mail-in ballots in the 2020 election.

The Trump campaign and administration baselessly assert that mail-in ballots are rife with voter fraud, though no available evidence indicates this.


The President's chief of staff, Mark Meadows, continued to make this claim in an interview with CNN's Jake Tapper, even after Meadows was confronted with the lack of evidence.

Watch below.

 

When Tapper told Meadows that "there is no evidence" of widespread voter fraud, Meadows responded:

"There's no evidence that there's not either. That's the definition of fraud, Jake."

It didn't take long for Twitter to use Meadows's own logic against him.


 


 


 


 


 


 

Now would be a good time to note that Trump's own commission on voter fraud disbanded in 2018 after it couldn't find evidence of widespread voter fraud.

The Trump administration has repeatedly fought expanded absentee voting measures in multiple states, despite the pandemic-induced risks of waiting in long lines to vote in person.

With dwindling resources for the USPS—led by Postmaster General and top Trump donor Louis DeJoy—growing more and more apparent, people are widely concerned about the integrity of the election.

 


 


 

Political leaders are urging Americans to vote as early as possible to circumvent any delays in ballot delivery.

They seem to love it when weird right-wing celebs like Kevin Sorbo get on the internet and say bizarre, usually counterfactual nonsense, or when JK Rowling does her darnedest to make her legacy not about Harry Potter but about her weird obsession with trans people.

Far-right provocateur Ann Coulter is facing fierce criticism after she made a genocidal remark in a now-deleted post on X in response to University of Minnesota professor and Navajo Nation member Melanie Yazzie's speech about colonization.

Yazzie, in a speech at last year's annual Socialism Conference, said "decolonization is the only thing that is going to save us as a species" during a panel hosted by Red Nation, a Native American nonprofit that advocates for Palestinian and Native American rights. She also said that the United States is the "greatest predator empire that has ever existed" and said it should be dismantled.
