In interviews and statements, Trump continues to say he was cheated out of a second term, despite the failure of his own Justice Department and dozens of lawsuits to prove any widespread fraud. The other side, mostly among Democrats and the media, have branded this the Big Lie.
In the latest round, the 45th president attempted to appropriate that term, emailing reporters that the last election "will be, from this day forth, known as THE BIG LIE!"
That prompted this tweet from Cheney: "The 2020 presidential election was not stolen. Anyone who claims it was is spreading THE BIG LIE, turning their back on the rule of law, and poisoning our democratic system."
Not surprisingly, Trump issued another statement hours later, calling her a "big-shot warmonger" and, for good measure, insisting that Wyoming residents "never liked her much."
CNN reports that Cheney remained adamant at a private American Enterprise Institute conference on Monday, saying the party can’t swallow the "poison" of arguing the election was rigged.

ReplyDeleteYeah, the same party that insisted for four years that it was rigged when their candidate lost suddenly insists the system is flawless. Funny that.
The thing is: for 4 years the Dem's repeatedly insisted that the 2016 election was rigged because their candidate lost. The minute Biden won, they started screaming that American elections cannot be rigged so how dare Trump suggest it! People noticed that.
ReplyDeletereally!? Source?
ReplyDeleteIt was trump officials that said election was not rigged like Barr and Trump appointed judges agreed.
Now Cheney is being attacked for accepting the facts
No, not my point. My point is that the same people who, for four years, insisted that the American electoral system was rigged and corrupted, overnight changed their story when their guy won. Whether there's proof of vote rigging is not relevant to that point. That they wouldn't even consider it possible when they won is.
