Trump Claims 3-5 Million Illegal Votes
 
In yesterday's meeting with Congressional leaders, Trump started the meeting talk with a ~10 minute rant about how there were 3-5 million illegal votes and how he would have won popular vote had this not been so. Of course, there's absolutely no evidence to support this ridiculous assertion.

In today's WH press conference, Spicer affirmed this to be Trump's opinion, yet was seemingly unwilling to produce the information upon which his claim is made or to task the FBI to investigate what would be the largest case of voter fraud in history.

When asked what he thought of Trump's assertion, Lindsey Graham said "As a matter of fact I'd like you to do more than stop saying it. I'd like you to come forward and say having looked at it I am confident the election was fair and accurate and people who voted voted legally. Cause if he doesn't do that, this is going to undermine his ability to govern this country."

Just how insecure and vain is this man?

If you publicly disagree with this obvious BS, you go on the enemies list.

People will be taught not to disagree. He can do more than tweet at you now.

Trump is speaking to his partisan constituents, because he knows he has to rally them against the McCains and Grahams.

And his constituents fervently believe that illegals voted, especially in Sanctuary Cities.

He said this in his first meeting with Congressional leaders since the election. This wasn't in a rally (though in either venue, it's still a lie).

I don't agree with him on this. It's a ridiculous assertion.

However, it is no more ridiculous than the absurd notion that Russian hacking swayed the election to Trump.

Trump is now fighting a three front war and this is effective propaganda.

Evidence?

You got a Greg Palast of the right, exposing the rampant immigrant voter fraud in alt media?

Don, you may be another one of the rare few on this forum that hasn't gone batshit crazy over Trump's election.
