The Big Lie, Con't

Repeat a lie often enough and it becomes the truth, as it has in Macomb County, Michigan.

 

The Macomb County Republican Party is on-board with former President Donald Trump’s assertions that 2020 presidential election was stolen from him as they released a statement saying his loss was “the culmination of a four-year coup.”

County GOP leaders last week endorsed two pro-Trump state candidates — Matthew DePerno for attorney general and Kristina Karamo for secretary of state in the upcoming 2022 election. In announcing their selection, Republicans claimed Trump won the November 2020 election “by a wide margin.”

While taking a break from a weekly pro-Trump rally held near 23 Mile Road and Van Dyke Avenue in Shelby Township, county chairman Mark Forton stated his party’s reason for backing the pair.

“We endorsed them both because our president endorsed them,” the Chesterfield Township resident said. “That’s the reason we did it.”

Trump’s discredited allegations about a stolen election have been widely reported. His claims have been the subject of courtrooms, state governments and even Congress, which all affirmed the legitimacy of his defeat and the honesty of the process.

Yet the so-called “Big Lie” continues to divide the nation, with supporters lining behind candidates who take a stance for or against Trump’s assertions.

“We are determined to make the fraud of 2020 the issue of the election,” Forton said.

In a statement issued Oct. 21, the Macomb County GOP group referred to Trump as “our legally elected” leader.

“The American people watched on election night and witnessed the culmination of a four year coup,” they said in the statement.

“President Trump has declared publicly that Michigan is the most corrupt state in the union,” the statement read. “After pushing for a computer audit for the last 10 months and witnessing numerous roadblocks by our own elected officials, we have discovered that he is right.”

 

Every one of these insurrectionists sddhould be removed from politics, but that who the Republican party is now, the Trump cult dedicated to the lie that the 2020 election was stolen.

 

Everything they do now is "justified" by the "coup".

 

There's no limit to what they will try now. Arrest Democrats? Violence against them? Worse? Who knows? 

The Cold Civil War is going to turn hot faster than you think.
