BERNIE SANDERS JUST MADE AN IMPORTANT POINT ABOUT TRUMP’S CROWD SIZE COLLAPSE

JASON EASLEY BERNIE SANDERS, TOP NEWS TUE, AUG 13TH, 2024

"SNIP............

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) said that Donald Trump is already laying the groundwork to deny the results of the 2024 election.

Sen. Sanders said in a statement provided to PoliticusUSA:

Donald Trump may be crazy, but he’s not stupid. When he claims that “nobody” showed up at a 10,000 person Harris-Walz rally in Michigan that was live-streamed and widely covered by the media, that it was all AI, and that Democrats cheat all of the time, there is a method to his madness. Clearly, and dangerously, what Trump is doing is laying the groundwork for rejecting the election results if he loses. If you can convince your supporters that thousands of people who attended a televised rally do not exist, it will not be hard to convince them that the election returns in Pennsylvania, Michigan, and elsewhere are “fake” and “fraudulent.”

This is what destroying faith in institutions is about. This is what undermining democracy is about. This is what fascism is about.

This is why we must do everything we can to see that Trump is defeated.
