NBC News Video Description: In an exclusive interview for Meet the Press, Rep. John Lewis (D-GA) said he believes Donald Trump's election is illegitimate because of Russian interference in last year's election.
I agree 100% that Trump is illegitimate (SWTD #358). However, according to Lewis, it's because of Russian interference. Sure, the Putin-ordered "influence campaign" did have an effect. But I have to ask, what about the Kasich-ordered election fraud campaign known as Interstate Crosscheck? (DSD #54).
I mean, there are numerous reasons why Trump will be an illegitimate president, and while the Russian interference is definitely up there, that an African American member of congress says it's the Russian interference but doesn't mention the election fraud? Maybe it's just me, but I find it perplexing that Democrats are essentially (continuing to) ignore massive election fraud on the Right.
Don't get me wrong, I still commend John Lewis for speaking the truth, I just think he should have spoke the FULL truth. Because, while the Russian interference was (hopefully) a one time thing, the Republican election fraud will continue. Whenever Democrats win they have to do so by turning out enough extra people to make up for all the cheating the other side is allowed to get away with?
And, YES, the Democrats walked right into Trump's trap on that one. I refer to his proclamation beforehand that there would be rigging. People assumed that he meant rigging that would help Hillary Clinton, when he was actually referring to rigging that was going to benefit him!
I mean, Kris Kobach did act as Trump's "immigration advisor". "Election rigging advisor" is more like it.

Michael Gerson's article on this subject is titled "Trump's attack on John Lewis is the essence of narcissism," and it's spot on.
ReplyDeleteTrump isn't fit to lick the bottom of John Lewis's shoes. While Lewis was getting his head fractured while fighting for civil rights for every American, Trump was screwing around and avoiding serving his country by getting deferments for a boo-boo on his foot. He bragged to Howard Stern that he was having lots of sex with lots of women at the time and because of the possible STDs he could have contracted, that was his "personal Vietnam." What a slime bag. And now he's the POTUS. Aren't we lucky duckies to have this low-life living in the People's House? I wonder when he'll get the golden showers installed.
