Ever since he lost badly in the 2020 election to President Joe Biden, failed, one-term, twice-impeached former President Donald Trump has been spinning one conspiracy theory after another about why he was beaten so badly.
At first, you probably recall, Trump claimed that millions of votes had been counted two or three times, providing the margin of victory for Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris.
After that, Trump began targeting specific states, alleging massive fraud in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, and other battleground states. However, no evidence of fraud was ever found, even though numerous recounts and audits were performed in those key states.
Now, however, proving that he truly has lost what was left of his already addled brain, Trump is blaming his former attorney general, William Barr, and the Mark Zuckerberg, the CEO of Facebook, for conspiring to deliver the state of Pennsylvania to Biden and Harris.
In a letter he wrote in response to a Wall Street Journal editorial which noted that Biden won the Keystone State by more than 80,000 votes, the ex-president went all-in on the tinfoil hat wearing craziness, asserting:
“Well actually, the election was rigged, which you, unfortunately, still haven’t figured out. Here are just a few examples of how determinative the voter fraud in Pennsylvania was.”
Going over a litany of already debunked claims about supposed “fraud” in Pennsylvania, Trump then turned to Barr and Zuckerberg:
“Attorney General Bill Barr ordered U.S. Attorney Bill McSwain to stand down and not investigate election irregularities. Mark Zuckerberg of Facebook poured over $17 million to interfere in the Pennsylvania election, including $5.5 million on ‘ballot processing equipment’ in Philadelphia and $552,000 for drop boxes where the voting pattern was not possible.”
Oh, and the Donald also managed to repeat a line about “phantom” voters casting ballots, a claim that was also made in Arizona but proven to be utterly incorrect when the Arizona audit was completed, along with a flourish of dementia that there were “numerous reports and sworn affidavits attested to poll watcher intimidation and harassment, many by brute force.”
Did Trump offer any proof his allegations? Of course not! He has nothing to support his claims, much the same way he never has any facts to back up the lies he tells about everything from the weather to how rich he is.
Since he’s convinced that his own hand-picked attorney general conspired against him, here’s hoping the current AG will indeed go after Trump and charge him with the many crimes he’s committed.
