Before you Republicans get all bent out of shape, remember what the word illegitimate means. It means not legitimate, as in proven not to be correct. That does not automatically mean wrong. It means we dont know for sure. The information we were given is unreliable, so we dont know what the right answer is.
Trump has said himself there was massive vote fraud. If he is right, then the popular vote figures everyone is reporting are incorrect. We do not know what the correct total is. That means the official total is illegitimate. That means the election is illegitimate. That means Trump is illegitimate.
Thats not me saying so. After all, what do I know? This is President-elect Donald J. Trump saying so.
