Trump challenges media and Democrats to debate his electoral fraud lie

Former president issues typically rambling statement

Donald Trump has challenged leading editors and politicians to debate him in public over his lie that Joe Biden beat him in 2020 through electoral fraud.

In a typically rambling statement on Sunday, the former president complained about “the heads of the various papers (and) far left politicians” and said: “If anyone would like a public debate on the facts, not the fiction, please let me know. It will be a ratings bonanza for television!”

-snip-

Biden beat Trump by more than 7m in the popular vote and by 306-232 in the electoral college, a result Trump called a landslide when he beat Hillary Clinton by it in 2016. Clinton also beat him in the popular vote.

Trump’s proposal of a public debate – which seemed unlikely to bear fruit – extended to what he called “members of the highly partisan unselect committee of Democrats who refuse to delve into what caused the 6 January protest”.

The attack on the US Capitol, Trump said, was caused by “the fake election results”.

I saw a post or two questioning the ages timing on investigating Trump.

We had four years of watching this evil egomaniac.

This is what that thing does when cornered.

extraordinary claims demand extraordinary proof.

He is making the accusations. He needs to prove it. So far he's about 0 for 100 or so.

He's the Democrats lawyer that handles all the gerrymandering cases and was in on the 60+ post election lawsuits drumpf lost. Worth a follow on twitter if you have it

Fox News projects Joe Biden will win 2020 presidential election




Also Bill Barr, Christopher Krebs, over 60 judges, and the SC refused to take the case, dismissing it.

pointless debate, he assumes everyone else is too.

And he is jonesing for more free attention since he has virtually no social media presence because he’s been kicked off Twitter and Facecrap.

Surely no Democrats will fall for this ploy but will the media be able to pass? They’ve always given him their full attention in the past.

He alone, live, at the podium.

He makes the challenge so does not get to choose his debate opponent.

Fact checkers with on-screen chyrons.

No ask-a-friend.

But the 2020 election was fake. Who was in charge of running elections between those two dates? How did you manage to fuck up the electoral process so badly in just four years? It worked fine for more than 200 years before that. Go get your shine box, Donny.

He hasn't provided anything aside from the rantings of an unhinged online pillow salesman.

This is getting pathetic.
