Democrats hate election deniers.
Particularly, they hate election deniers named Donald Trump.
Why, they cry, can’t the sore loser man-baby cease whining about having the 2020 election “stolen” and simply admit he was overwhelmed truthful and sq. by Joe Biden?
To be trustworthy, they’ve obtained a great level.
For all his fixed indignant fulminating, President Trump’s by no means produced any precise proof that the 2020 election was “rigged,” as he’d like everybody to imagine.
So I agree with the Democrats once they lambaste him for refusing to just accept the chilly, laborious actuality that he misplaced.
In truth, I advised Trump this to his face in an interview for my Fox Nation present “Piers Morgan Uncensored” final yr, saying he ought to cease his ridiculous, democracy-damaging claptrap, just for him to reply by calling me a idiot seven occasions.
However the passionate, offended, virtually demented manner the Democrats go about attacking election denial would possibly seduce you into the huge misapprehension that they really feel the identical manner no matter who’s doing the election denying.
They don’t.
In an MSNBC interview on Sunday with President Biden’s former White Home press chief Jen Psaki, Hillary Clinton launched into her favourite topic: why she herself had an election robbed from her.
Sure, Hillary nonetheless resolutely believes that the one cause Trump beat her is as a result of Russian President Vladimir Putin interfered within the 2016 election to cease her profitable.
“The Russians have proved themselves to be fairly adept at interfering and if he has an opportunity, he’ll do it once more,” she mentioned. “I don’t suppose, regardless of the entire deniers, there’s any doubt that he interfered in our election. A part of the explanation he labored so laborious towards me is as a result of he didn’t suppose that he wished me within the White Home.”
In fact, Clinton has by no means been in a position to show her claims that Putin fastened it for Trump to win.
As an alternative, a prolonged investigation into supposed “Russia collusion” between Trump and Putin resulted in a huge nothingburger that established there was no election-fixing collusion.
However this hasn’t stopped his defeated opponent from persevering with to hawk that lie, and refusing to confess she misplaced pretty.
“I imagine he is aware of he’s an illegitimate president,” Hillary declared in 2017.
Later, she mentioned: “You’ll be able to run the most effective marketing campaign, you possibly can even grow to be the nominee, and you’ll have the election stolen from you.”
And after Trump misplaced the 2020 election, and he and his supporters mentioned the very same factor about their election loss, she was enraged.
“We by no means thought we needed to fear about home enemies,” she advised “Morning Joe.” “We by no means thought we needed to fear about individuals who didn’t imagine in our democracy. Sadly, what we’ve seen during the last 4 years and particularly because the election is that we’ve got individuals in our personal nation who’re doing Putin’s work. They’re doing his work to sow mistrust, to sow divisiveness, to offer help and luxury to these in our nation who, for no matter cause, are being not solely disruptive however very harmful.”
High quality phrases, Hillary — perish the thought that anybody such as you would do Putin’s soiled work by sowing harmful mistrust within the US democratic course of!
The brazen hypocrisy is actually staggering.
This can be a lady who has relentlessly and intentionally used Putin to mislead the American individuals into considering the one cause she misplaced in 2016 was as a result of Russia colluded with Trump.
And as we noticed on Sunday, she’s nonetheless doing it now regardless of it being a longtime proven fact that Russia didn’t.
The reality is that Hillary Clinton misplaced in 2016 as a result of Trump proved to be a extra fashionable candidate than her to the American individuals because of the “most certified candidate in presidential historical past” operating a dreadful, elitist marketing campaign.
But right here she is, nonetheless blaming the beastly Russians for her humiliation, a tactic straight from the Trump college of actuality denial.
You would possibly suppose Jen Psaki, who has often criticized Trump for his stolen-election claims, could be equally upset when she had a former presidential candidate sitting proper in entrance of her doing the identical factor.
However that will assume Ms. Psaki is an neutral journalist making use of the identical guidelines to everybody, when in reality she’s a hyper-partisan Democratic activist.
So MSNBC viewers, who for years have been advised by all of the community’s hosts to imagine Trump’s election denial is an evil affront to democracy, have been presumably left considering: “Wait, is election denial OK now, if it’s our facet doing it?”
My favourite second of the interview got here when Clinton advised Psaki about Trump: “You already know, the factor about him — and I’m not the one one one who’s observed this — is he engages in what psychologists name projection. So, at any time when he accuses someone of doing one thing, it’s virtually assured he’s doing it himself or he’s already finished it.”
Psaki didn’t even crack a smile as her visitor spewed a double normal so laugh-out-loud absurd, it might have left me a hysterical mess if I’d been the interviewer.
So let me say what Psaki ought to have mentioned to her:
“Pipe down, Hillary, you flaming hypocrite. In the case of election-denying bulls–t, you’re wallowing in the identical woefully delusional swamp as Trump.”
