DEMOCRATS DENY ELECTION RESULTS

Aside from rigging primaries, Democrats have a tendency to deny the results of general elections they don’t win. The 2016 contest is a perfect example of this.

This was not an isolated event.

While the left did not allow for “democracy” to truly play out in their 2016 primaries, when it played out in the general election, they simply could not accept it.

The rampant election denialism was rooted in a consensus among influential Democrats that Russian operatives, especially President Vladimir Putin, rigged the election on behalf of Trump.

Hillary Clinton was the queen conspiracist. She told CBS News in September 2019, “I believe he [Trump] knows he’s an illegitimate president.”

She cautioned other Democrats that they could “have the election stolen from you,” implying that that’s what happened to her.

In October 2020, well after the Russian-collusion narrative had been thoroughly discredited by the Mueller Report, she said that “there was a widespread understanding that [the 2016] election was not on the level.”10

It’s an audacious statement considering that she had rigged the primary to get the nomination. It’s also false; there was no “understanding” the election wasn’t legitimate, much less a “widespread” one.

I could spend dozens of pages citing Democrats who denied the results of the 2016 elections, but I’ll add just a few more here.

Former President Jimmy Carter said, “There’s no doubt that the Russians did interfere in the election, and I think the interference, although not yet quantified, if fully investigated would show that Trump didn’t actually win the election in 2016. He lost the election, and he was put into office because the Russians interfered on his behalf.”11

The late Representative John Lewis (D-GA) told Meet the Press: “I do not see this president-elect as a legitimate president. I think there was a conspiracy on the part of the Russians and others that helped him get elected. That’s not right. That’s not fair. That’s not the open democratic process.” He then boycotted Trump’s inauguration.12

Representative Jerry Nadler (D-NY) called Trump’s election “illegitimate.”

Democrats from at least ten states, led by Los Angeles–area congresswoman Maxine Waters, objected to the certification of the states’ votes. The numbers were far less than those who raised concerns about Trump’s 2020 defeat four years later, but it was Waters and company who set the precedent.13

Every one of these comments erodes our democracy, which is precisely why the Democrats make them.

The left hates democracy, after all.

As I noted in Breaking the News, “After the Russia hoax hysteria (mostly) ended with the whimper of the Mueller report, the New York Times refocused its newsroom.” That means their entire newsgathering operation prior to the report was organized around anticipating that Mueller’s special counsel would confirm that Russia had rigged the election.

The country’s most prestigious paper is run by delusional, hysterical leftists who denied the results that our democracy had yielded. Of course, there was no evidence of Russian collusion between any elements of Trump’s campaign or America’s government to rig the election, but that didn’t stop some Democrats from hanging on to the notion that the 2016 election was rigged.
