Fmr. Virginia Rep. Defends Trump: ‘There Are Tons of Irregularities in the 2020 Elections that Never Happened Before’

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
Calm.
>> Thanks very much. We touched him, the former president‘s renewed amplification of election conspiracies at the top of the program. In another example, he focuses on Pennsylvania and‘m quoting is posting now an interview by Tucker Carlson of an election expert indicates that 20% of the mail-in ballots in Pennsylvania are fraudulent here we go again. Where‘s the U.S. attorney general and FBI to investigate? Where‘s the Pennsylvania Republican Party? We will win Pennsylvania by a lot unless the dems are allowed to cheat the RNC must activate. Now perspective now joining us former Virginia Republican congressman Scott Taylor and Ashley Etienne who served as communications director of vice president Harris and former Republican congressman Adam Kinzinger, who served on the January 6 committee and has endorsed vice president Harris Scott. I mean, he‘s lying about this in Pennsylvania. There‘s no widespread election voter fraud. There‘s no evidence of it in mail-in ballots people just discount this. It just like at this point is just like, oh, this is what he does. But is this an acceptable? I mean, he‘s basically do do you think this is acceptable?
>> There are a lot of folks out there, literally millions of Americans who had a big problem with 2020 well, I know, but it‘s just factually they don‘t have any evidence like courts looked at it.
>> Because it‘s promoted on a lot of networks and a lot of radio networks. But just saying a lot of people feel this doesn‘t make I can true. I think, you know, it‘s not true, I assume, but there‘s no evidence look, as I said before, there are tons of irregularities in the 2020 election that never happened before, right?
>> Problems with it and that‘s something I think it‘s a good topic. What are the tons of regularity? Sure.
>> State laws that didn‘t have before Covid drop boxes that are unsecure. There‘s tons of things out there that change in 2020 that are still there. Now, I think this is, as I said, look, I ran in 2020 and I lost in 2020, but there are many people to include folks in my family who had issues with the way the 2021 was handled, had issues with zucker bucks, for example, hundreds of millions of dollars being sent through non-profits to do get out the vote. So there‘s people who think the earth is flat.
>> The dinner table.
>> Or does that make it anyway, Congress, to you, those are facts.
>>
>> Mean, is this normal? I mean, it‘s amazing to me how this is now just like, oh, of course, he‘s tweeting out this stuff about this denigrate, the election it‘s disgusting. And ma‘am, Scott, I love you, but come on dude, are words have an impact on this country? The country that you and I both thought for people look up to people, even besides Donald Trump, for a taste of what‘s going to happen, the selection when Donald Trump is saying this is exactly what he did before 2020 when he is saying that the election is going to be stolen all he‘s doing is setting up so that when he loses, if he loses, he can then turn around and say, see, I told you it was going to be stolen. It‘s gonna be stolen. Let‘s be clear about dropboxes to what dropbox is are not is a box that you open up there‘s just a ton of unlabeled ballots with loads on it. And he thrown through a voting machine, you have to put your name on your ballot, you sign it when it goes into the secretary of state‘s officer, whoever is counting, they can compare and seat this person vote on by mail-in ballot or any other way, if not great, if it‘s legitimate accounts and if you show up the vote on Election Day, you‘ll be denied because you voted in this dropbox all of the secretaries of state that ran the same. This is secure. In fact, the Trump campaign should be encouraging people to vote early and vote convenient time, but instead it‘s more important that really I ashley ashley, let me go to you I mean, what‘s interesting? Is that yes, there actually, there, are, people who committed election fraud and they were attorneys allegedly working for the former president who actually orchestrated a plan to get voting machines, get voting machines, take them to hotel rooms and break into them and they‘re being prosecuted right now in states throughout the United States absolutely. And those people have some of them have pled guilty and the others have been indicted, and those are those staffers as close to the former the former president at one of whom was actually his former chief of staff. But, but interesting the reason I wanted to jump in here because you talked about evidence of cheating and there is actual evidence of trying to cheat the election. It was President Trump. He called Georgia secretary of state and asked for 11,000 votes. You could actually cue that video. There‘s audio of it. He doesn‘t even deny it.
>> Time for attempting to try to cheat the election. And then to your point even launched a national scheme to actually do that. And when he did not odd succeed, what did he do? He threw an entire tantrum and incited an insurrection, a deadly insurrection at the U.S. Capitol. So the only evidence of trying to cheat the election to your point is coming from Donald Trump and I‘m not sure how Republicans can defend his actions and called themselves patriotic. I think that is really what‘s confronting them now, it‘s the truth is in front of them. They‘re denying it to the former congressman‘s point and we need to actually just be honest with American people. It‘s Donald Trump who consistently draws the G20 election.
>> Respond man.
>> Let‘s not question each other‘s patriotism. That‘s ridiculous and absurd.
>> Folks who have issues with this. They want to have a safe and secure election just like anyone in the present former president is highlighting that and every time you make the argument every time every time you start your argument with their people who believed this it weakens your argument.
>> High school debate stuff. Like if that‘s your thesis, there are people interested leave this Anderson, that‘s what all that means with all due with all due respect with all due respect. And that would be the same the Steele Dossier, Hunter Biden‘s laptop, lag lab leak theory, dismissal, Jussie Smollett, and so on. And and so on on this network. To beat, to be honest, I mean, you guys didn‘t have the facts, correct there. Right. And people believe those things with all due respect.
>> Attempting to overthrow an election.
>> Are something wrong and people say what is proven really Adam this, Russia, Russia wasn‘t an Hunter Biden laptop, wasn‘t attempt to be fair, I‘m save of course, it wasn‘t I‘d have stayed the same and election is going to be stolen and lying about it is the equivalent of the Steele Dossier, which was disproven after the election quickly was not used in 2020.
>> Stuff, who was not running for president, he‘s never run for president. He‘s not attempting we go into the Oval Office, but he‘s an obsession. The people actually, I mean, do you see this as the president basically just trying the former president, just trying to kind of throw everything against, see what sticks election. There‘s election fraud, there‘s all this stuff or is it kind of lead kind of preparing the way for if he loses challenging I mean I think it‘s a d all the above.
>> The waters. I think he‘s trying to confuse the issue. I think he he‘s misleading the public, obviously, because as I said, it was him who actually made the phone call trying to get 11,000 votes when he didn‘t win, Georgia. So but he‘s also setting up a dynamic and excuse for when he loses. So I think all of these things are true, but I think what‘s most disappointing is that some people keep perpetuating all of these lies that Donald Trump put out there, that he puts out there. I mean, they‘re not telling the American people the truth, which is there was,
