Trump Flat-Out Says Democrats Can't Be Legitimately Elected: 'Only Way They Can Get Elected Is to Cheat'

So he is saying that the R's can not win without cheating



President Donald Trump said during Tuesday’s State of the Union address that the “only way” Democrats can be voted into office is by cheating.

Trump has long falsely claimed the 2020 election was stolen from him, and on Tuesday, he took matters further by claiming that Democrats cannot be elected without engaging in voter fraud. During his speech, the president urged the Senate to pass the SAVE Act, which would require proof of U.S. citizenship, such as a birth certificate or a passport, when registering to vote.

The House passed the bill this month, but the legislation faces an uncertain future in the Senate, where it will need 60 votes to advance.

Trump has urged Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) to amend Senate rules so the SAVE Act can pass with a simple majority of 51 votes.

He won all the swing states...

If it came out 10 years from now the election was rigged, would we be shocked? He is basically saying he cheats.

If the midterm elections were being held right now, Republicans would be wiped right out. Now I know things can change between now and November, but the pulic is not happy with the con and his Republicans and they know it. Claiming they were "cheated" is all they have.

The GOP has control of the WH and Congress.

Why did those cheating Democrats sit out the last election?
