November 14: Trump Says Deceased WWII Veteran Voted!

 

11/14/20: No doubt Trump was feeling better Saturday, since tens of thousands of fans descended on Washington D.C. to show support. Trump aides managed to organize a motorcade which left the White House, passed through the adoring throng, and then headed for Potomac Falls, Virginia, where Trump managed to squeeze in Round #309 of golf, since taking office.

Since Team Trump said a deceased WWII veteran voted,

here's my dad, James R. Viall, who didn't.

(He died in 1999.)

Democrats intend to “deny this president what is rightfully his, a second term.”

At this point, it would be difficult to say who is more deluded – the president, who refuses to concede defeat – or his adoring fans who believe he is being cheated out of a second term.

 

Benjamin Hovland, Chairman of the U.S. Election Assistance Commission, tells CNN that while the president has made a number of “bold claims” of voter fraud, “we’ve seen zero evidence.” There’s “nothing that we’ve seen that would cause any real doubt in the integrity of the election.”

 

Again: Hovland is a Trump appointee.

The shocking case of James Blalock!

 

DEEP INSIDE THE WHITE HOUSE, the president continues to insist that victory has been pried from his deserving grip.

 

In one tweet, he cites the claim of  “Top US Pollster and Statistician Richard Baris,” who Trump also refers to as the “People’s Pundit.” Baris was “SUSPENDED” from Twitter, Trump groans, for reporting on the “Disputed Election.”

 

It would seem the president also had help with this tweet, since he makes a passing reference to the book 1984, noting, “Political ‘WrongThink’ Not Allowed.” Baris, “Said 10,000 DEAD PEOPLE VOTED IN MICHIGAN. When will this RIGGED ELECTION be overturned!”

 

This could get embarrassing quick. As proof of such claims, the Trump campaign cited the shocking case of James Blalock, a World War II veteran, who voted in Georgia this election, despite having died fourteen years ago.

 

Yet, it required only the most minimal effort to show that Mr. Blalock had not in fact voted. His wife, Agnes, had, under her properly registered name: “Mrs. James E. Blalock, Jr.”

 

Team Trump also cited the case of “Linda Kesler,” a Georgia woman dead since 2003. She too had “voted” from the grave.

 

Once again, the ghost story proved not to be scary at all. Lynda Kesler – different address – different birthday – different zip code – and, for god’s sake, different spelling of the first name – did vote.

 

As might have been expected, however, Tucker Carlson picked up this story when it began running, and reported with horror on this travesty of dead World War II veterans and other corpses voting.

 

Then…um…okay….he had to admit he had been duped.

 

Good old Tuck isn’t the only chump who works at Fox News. Another host who proved today that he was unwilling to do even the easiest research is Lou Dobbs. On his show this afternoon, he insisted that Republicans should refuse to acknowledge Trump’s defeat, claiming  the Democrats intend to “deny this president what is rightfully his, a second term.”
