After Romney lost in 2012, Trump called for revolution and for the House to invalidate the results

Periodic reminder that after Mitt Romney suffered a quick and obvious loss in 2012, Donald Trump falsely claimed Romney won the popular vote; explicitly called for a "revolution"; and asked the GOP House to invalidate the result.

So far I can't find evidence he said, explicitly, for the House to invalidate the election, which is unconstitutional anyway.

After losing the popular vote, President-elect Donald Trump has decided that the Electoral College is a pretty smart way to elect a president after all.
