Reality has a liberal bias. As quaint and seemingly sarcastic as this saying seems, it's unfortunately quite true.

Oh I think your boy tRump goes a little harder, a little further than just "questioning" the results of the 2020 election. In his own words it was stolen from him. He even went so far as to say, months before the election, that he would not accept the results unless he won. Did he disavow the strong language and words of the other speakers before him in the "Stop the Steal" rally that were revving the crowd into a fever pitch? You seem to expect us not to believe our own eyes and ears. You can cherry pick lines from his speech like you're speaking to a bunch of tRump idiots but we here are not. All the evidence presented by the Jan 6 investigation, which he wanted no Repubs to be a part of, shows he incited the attack but your denial of what the committee presented conveniently allows you to deny his involvement. whell buddy I know you're the author of this thread and will allow no arguments and facts to sway you but to anyone but the tRump cult, you come across as quite disingenuous. But hey, you keep doing you.

I'm not arguing that point. But, hey, if that's the conversation you want to have, by all means go enjoy yourself.
My point is that Clinton 2016 and Abrams (2018) claimed their elections were "stolen." Where is the same level of indignation in the press about those two "big lie", "election-denying" Dems. Hint - It doesn't exist.

Trump's efforts to literally steal the election were out front in the open and not deniable, except for delusional revisionists. Stop making a fool of yourself with this nonsense.
Re Hillz and Abrams;
Please cite the exact quoted full context statements and sources that they made these claims, otherwise it is disinformation nonsense that never happened.
We'll wait here for your response.

I'll wait.

Trump's Midterm Message - Lie or Lose

During a phone call between Trump and Masters captured in a Fox documentary at some point after the debate, the former President can be heard encouraging Masters to lean into his unfounded election fraud claims.
“If you want to get across the line, you’ve got to go stronger on that one thing. That was the one thing, a lot of complaints about it,” Trump told Masters before pointing to Arizona Republican gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake as an example.
“Look at Kari. Kari’s winning with very little money. And if they say, ‘How is your family?’ she says the election was rigged and stolen. You’ll lose if you go soft. You’re going to lose that base,” Trump said.

Trump, OTOH, never had a reason to believe he won and recent sworn testimony demonstrates he (and everyone around him) knew he lost and had planned his antics well before the election. The testimony revealed that he told DOJ officials to simply (and falsely) announce election fraud and he and his Republican Congressional friends would "do the rest." He also said to a White House staffer not to admit he lost because "it was too embarrassing." Knowing that he lost, he planned an autocoup and incited a riot to pressure Congress to install him as President.
In short, under scrutiny your comparison falls apart completely and is a BS post-facto rationalization of Trump's outrageous and criminal behavior.

Is that the latest alternative facts, that Trump asked the crowd at his rally near the Whiet House to march peaceably to the capitol and hug the Capitol police?
