Trump makes yet another false claim about California voter fraud
By Daniel Dale, CNN

Updated 7:46 AM ET, Mon June 24, 2019

Washington (CNN) -- Since the first week of his presidency, President Donald Trump has falsely claimed that there was mass voter fraud in the 2016 presidential election. He has repeatedly and baselessly singled out California as a supposed center of this fraud.

He did so again in an interview that aired Sunday on NBC's "Meet the Press." This time, he added a new false claim to try to support the original false one.

Host Chuck Todd asked Trump if he is bothered by the fact that he lost the popular vote in 2016. Trump responded: "Well, I think it was a -- I mean, I'll say something that, again, is controversial. There were a lot of votes cast that I don't believe. I look at California."

He continued: "Take a look at Judicial Watch, take a look at their settlement where California admitted to a million votes. They admitted to a million votes."

Facts First: California made no such admission. And there is no evidence that there was widespread voter fraud in California in 2016.

When a illegitimate president is a serial liar, he lies all the time about everything . No morals or ethics from trump, ever. Everything is an act, propaganda, and to promote himself with. The gop do nothing but stand back and allow this to continue, with some lying with or for him.

This man has the speech pattern of a child. People who do not know this fact are idiots. This person is crazy with power and only when professionals come forward to demand this nut see professionals who will analyze his mental state. Their documentation may prove what a crazy man he is today.
