Trump was right about Pence and McConnell. When it comes to the "Big Lie", I wholeheartedly disagree with Trump.

Quote:
Former President Donald Trump released a statement Saturday claiming 2020 election polling suppressed voters and attacking both former Vice President Mike Pence and GOP Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell.

Trump continues to push baseless claims about the 2020 election, alleging that Democrats and President Joe Biden "rigged" votes despite a lack of substantiating evidence. In the Saturday statement, forwarded to Newsweek by Trump adviser Jason Miller, Trump took aim at polling ahead of the election that projected Biden winning by a larger margin of votes than he ultimately received. Trump also slammed Pence for a lack of "courage" to help overturn the election results and McConnell for being "weak and pathetic."

"The public opinion surveys ahead of the 2020 Presidential Election were the most inaccurate ever, according to a major polling panel. This was done purposely. The polls were a joke," Trump stated, claiming that he "won States in a landslide" that he was predicted to lose ahead of the election. Although some polling did inaccurately project that Biden could win in states that Trump ultimately carried, the final vote counts were generally relatively close with Biden trailing by just a few points.

One of the most striking things about Trump is his easy willingness to vilify people in his own party, includin long-time loyalists.

Trump is right, but he didn’t go far enough in his statement. Suppression polls weren’t enough, so they had to go to drastic measures late into the night after the polls closed. No need to rehash all they did, everybody knows.

As far as Pence and McConnell, there was a certain percentage of Republicans who colluded with the Democrats to ensure Biden won the fraudulent election.

Until all of those are purged from the Republican Party, I won’t vote Republican. I have checked out of the voting process for now.

Yet, don't the same Republicans who Trump called "human scum" still love and support him? Trump said some bad things about Cruz's parents and wife, yet he now loves Trump. I think up to 60% of the people can't comprehend the insanity going on in the Republican Party and won't find it too hard to keep Democrats dominant in Congress in 2022 especially if everything is going reasonably well then.

So even AG Barr, who apparently loved Trump, joined with the Democrats and turned on him?

Barr never loved Trump, who did you get that idea from? From Don Lemon?

Barr is a creature of the Republican Classic Swamp. He was aligned with John Roberts to get Trump out of office.

He helped Trump’s cause when it was in his best interest to do so.

If Romney was the President, do you really think John Roberts and Barr would’ve allowed all the fly by night election changes designed to help the Democrats?
