For over the last year or so we’ve been hearing from The Usual Suspects as to how questioning the legitimacy of election results is tantamount to “undermining democracy” and should be considered a form of “dangerous incitement” that could potentially lead to the fomenting of an “insurrection.” They’ve even taken to calling people who still ask questions about the 2020 election as purveyors of the “Big Lie.”
Though the pious lectures are tiresome, what makes them particularly maddening is knowing that most of the people who have made such claims spent the entire four years of former President Donald Trump’s term delegitimizing his election by falsely claiming it was “stolen” from Hillary Clinton thanks in part to non-existent “collusion” between Trump and Russia.
Similar is the case for Georgia’s 2018 gubernatorial race. Stacey Abrams (Democratic nominee) never conceded, and she has been arguing for its theft the past three years. She’s done so with the enthusiastic support of the media and her fellow Democrats including Clinton, who in addition to spreading the lie that the Georgia election was stolen has also repeatedly said her own 2016 race against Trump was.
In fact, Abrams and Clinton were still making their claims about their respective races being “rigged” as Democrats in Congress were busy preparing to impeach Trump in part because he, too, questioned election results, which Democrats claimed was “incitement.”
The double-speak from media and the left on this topic has been both dangerously ridiculous, and epic. Because while they continue to get to use the tools at their disposal to dispute election results as they see fit, a Republican even raising one question regarding election results is viewed as “insurrectiony” and is cause for a flood of condemnations about “respecting democracy” and whatnot.
This brings me to the very troubling claims that Oval Office incumbent Donald Trump made today in his aggressive press conference. Two times, President Biden was questioned about the forthcoming elections. The first reporter wondered if he felt the 2022 midterms would be “fairly” decided and the results “legitimate” if he couldn’t get the so-called “voting rights” bill passed. Biden’s answer was to cast doubt by suggesting that it all depended on whether or not Democrats could convince Americans that the elections were allegedly being rigged by Republicans:
REPORTER : “Does the next election seem fair? Will the result be valid?”
BIDEN: “It all depends depends on whether or not we’re able to make the case to the American people that some of this is being set up to alter the outcome…” pic.twitter.com/COdhiTEYhh

Later, another reporter did a follow-up to confirm whether or not Biden meant the elections might be illegitimate depending on what happens with the “voting rights” legislation. Biden’s answer once and for all proved him to be a massive “Big Lie” hypocrite:
Reporter. You were just asked about your belief that there would be free and fair elections for 2022, if the legislative bodies had changed their voting protocol. You said that “it depends.” Do you….. do you think that in any way it would be illegitimate?
Biden: I believe it is illegitimate. If Trump could convince Pence not to count votes, then imagine. Imagine if…
Reporter: Regarding 2022, sir. These are the midterm elections.
Biden: Oh, 2022. I mean … imagine if those attempts to say that the count was not legit. You have to recount it and we’re not going to count, we’re going to discard the following votes. I mean sure, but I’m not saying it is going to be legit. These reforms are not able to be passed, which is why there has been an increase in the likelihood of being declared illegitimate.
There you go, people. If Democrats can’t get their massive power grab “voting rights” bill passed, then the 2022 midterms – which are expected to be disastrous for Democrats – could potentially be viewed as illegitimate per Joe Biden:
Biden stated that the future elections could “easily be invalidated.”
It is possible that it will not be legalized. This is directly proportional to the fact that we have not been able to implement these reforms. pic.twitter.com/DF0iOXX2jl

Think about this for a second: One of the things Trump said about the 2020 election is that it should be considered legitimate “if” such and such took place. What’s Biden saying here? This is basically the same thing. It’s just that he has put conditions on it. In the process, he is setting the stage for people to believe the upcoming elections won’t be fairly decided if his “voting rights” bill fails to pass.
If Democratic supporters take over the Capitol in the states or storm it, can Biden be arrested for his rhetoric? I mean that’s how this is supposed to work, right?
Here’s what needs to happen in the aftermath of Biden’s speech:
The headline is: Biden predicts that Republicans will alter vote counts for future elections. This should be a question for every Democratic lawmaker on cable television tonight. It is an outrageous allegation

It won’t, though, because it would force “reporters” and Dems to reconsider all the things they’ve said about Republicans over the years, and we can’t have that. Remember, as we’ve all learned over the last five years, it’s okay to question election results and go to court over it if you’re a Democrat. But if you’re a Republican like Sens. Josh Hawley or Ted Cruz, doing so makes you an “insurrectionist.”
Thanks, Joe, for confirming everything we’ve ever said about Democrats on the issue of questioning election results. It’s sometimes too easy.
