"Just say you won."
Rudy was attempting to get into the White House to see his buddy, Donald. He had heard the news. Donald was expected to be ahead in the election when the first votes came in. But, because of the number of mail-in ballots and absentee ballots, he was not expected to win.
He had a brilliant strategy for Donald. Just lie. Just say you won PA. Just say you won all the close races. If there was one thing that Rudy and Donald were good at, it was lying.
And they told a whopper! And they kept telling it. Until all their followers were convinced they were telling the truth. Until they became so angry that they marched on and attacked our Capitol on January 6th.
Their "Big Lie" was successful. Both were extremely confident in their power of persuasion. The "Big Lie" grew and grew. His fans were told that he would re-claim the White House by August 13th. And they believed him and Rudy and his nest of lawyers.
That one small bit of advice created the largest threat against our nation since the Civil War.
"Just say you won".
