Trump: 2020 US election was ‘irrefutably fraudulent’

Former US President Donald Trump has said the 2020 presidential election was “irrefutably fraudulent,” and it should go to “the rightful winner.”

Trump made the remarks on Monday responding to broad backlash after he called over the weekend the termination of the US Constitution’s rules regarding elections to overturn the results of the disputed 2020 election following the emergence of evidence that social media conspired with the Washington establishment to suppress negative reports about Joe Biden’s son Hunter ahead of the election.

Trump said the founding fathers of the United States did not want “fraudulent elections” in the country.

Trump on Monday insisted he does not want to “terminate” the Constitution so he can return to the White House.

“The Fake News is actually trying to convince the American People that I said I wanted to ‘terminate’ the Constitution. This is simply more DISINFORMATION & LIES, just like RUSSIA, RUSSIA, RUSSIA, and all of their other HOAXES & SCAMS,” Trump wrote Monday afternoon, saying he meant that “steps must be immediately taken to RIGHT THE WRONG.”

In a separate post, Trump wrote that “if an election is irrefutably fraudulent, it should go to the rightful winner or, at a minimum, be redone. Where open and blatant fraud is involved, there should be no time limit for change!”

Elon Musk released what he called the “Twitter Files” on Friday, delving into the company's decision to block the Hunter Biden laptop story. The posts focused on the controversy surrounding Biden’s son Hunter Biden and Twitter’s reaction limiting the spread of posts about it.

It was billed as a bombshell that exposed how Twitter engaged in “free speech suppression” in the critical run-up to the 2020 election.

Trump three days earlier had posted about the Twitter controversy, saying, “A Massive Fraud of this type and magnitude allows for the termination of all rules, regulations, and articles, even those found in the Constitution.”

Trump’s comments drew backlash — including from some Republicans such as former Vice President Mike Pence — but many GOP lawmakers have stayed silent following the remarks.

“I must tell you that I think that everyone that serves in public office, everyone that aspires to serve or serve again, should make it clear that we will support and defend the Constitution of the United States,” Pence said on a South Carolina radio show on Monday.

Trump believes that the election was rigged by the US establishment in favor of Biden. He has said that the 2020 presidential election was “the greatest Election Hoax in history.”

He previously accused Twitter and Facebook of helping Biden to win the controversial 2020 election.

Journalist: Dems trying to maintain a stranglehold on the flow of information

Unable to control the flow of information on social and alternative media, the US Democratic Party is attempting to engage in censorship, according to journalist Glenn Greenwald.

The New York Post published a story in October 2020, less than a month before Election Day, alleging that Hunter Biden used his influence to connect a Ukrainian businessman with his father while he was serving as vice president.

A laptop that allegedly was dropped off at a Delaware computer repair shop included evidence demonstrating Hunter Biden’s actions, former Trump attorney and former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani told the Post.

Twitter took blocked users from sharing the link to the story on its platform.

Twitter, Facebook and other social media platforms banned Trump from their services after protesters stormed the US Capitol on January 6, 2021.
