Former President Trump spoke to the North Carolina
Republican Party convention for 90-minutes on June 5th, repeating
his “totally baseless” claim that the 2020 presidential election was stolen
from him. Meanwhile, the media was focused on if the billionaire and ex (?)-president
had put his pants on backwards. Really. They even fact
checked the notion. Turns out, the
claim that The Donald had his pants on incorrectly was “totally baseless.”
Virtually every news story or article on the 2020
election notes that Trump believes the election was stolen from him—and his
supporters—and promptly labels that belief “totally baseless,” “utterly
unfounded,” “completely without evidence,” “totally debunked,” or some such
similar dismissal. The truth, however, is that those very dismissals are
totally baseless and utterly without merit. The media makes baseless claims
that the Supreme Court threw out multiple cases of alleged election fraud, but
that is a flat out lie. The Court simply refused to hear them.
The Washington Post/New York
Times/MSNBC/CNN/ABC/CBS/NBC/etc.:
“Trump
has made baseless claims that the economy grew while he was in office. In
addition, he has made utterly unfounded claims that his policies led to record
low unemployment rates for women and minorities. He has made widely debunked
claims that he strengthened the American military, led the nation to energy
independence, had high turnouts at his political rallies, and was kicked off of
Twitter. Moreover, he preposterously alleged that Hydroxychloroquine and
Ivermectin were effective in treating the coronavirus. He followed those crazy
statements up by taking credit for overseeing several new vaccines for
preventing COVID-19, “and in record time.” The former president also believed
he was the victim of a “Russia-Hoax” perpetrated by the “fake news media” that
supposedly disliked him. Lately, he asserted that Nancy Pelosi likes ice cream,
the Earth is round, and that grass is generally green due to a process called
“photosynthesis.”
Fact checkers are busy working on these numerous implausible
Trump claims.
What will the Mad Orange Man come up with next?
Whatever it is, you can bet it’s a lie.
