Such claims about a rigged election had prompted the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection in Washington.

And in fact, Trump uses that too in this enormously revealing letter, where he says lots of people ‘feel’ that there was fraud,” he added.

Your feelings, Mr. Snowflake, cannot dictate the course of the future of the republic. »
