“This is reinstatement day,” the MSNBC host explained.
Hassan stated that the conspiracy theory that Trump will return to the White House is largely driven by Lindel and his unfounded claims that the 2020 election was “hacked” or “stolen” by China in support of Biden.
Hassan said: “August 13th has passed 8 p.m. Eastern Time, and you will be shocked to hear that Joe Biden is still the President of the United States.”
“Now, we can laugh at this madness, but it is dangerous madness,” he warned, adding that it was a “dangerous moment” for American democracy. “A person who sells pillows on cable TV convinced tens of millions of Americans that a safe, reliable, and democratic election was stolen.”
Trump and his allies continue to falsely claim that Biden won the presidential election through extensive fraud. This extraordinary claim has been thoroughly litigated in state and federal courts. It has been discredited, but opinion polls consistently show that a considerable number of Republican voters believe in lies and misinformation.
Morning Consult and Politico’s June polls show that nearly 30% of Republican voters think Trump is “very likely” or “somewhat likely” Will be restored Be president by the end of 2021. Another Monmouth University poll in June found that nearly one-third (32%) of Americans believed Biden had won the 2020 election due to fraud. The poll showed that 63% of Republicans and Republican-leaning voters said that Biden was not legitimately elected.
Although many Trump supporters generally believe that, no evidence has appeared or presented to substantiate this extraordinary allegation. Dozens of election challenge lawsuits filed by Trump and his allies have failed in state and federal courts. Even judges appointed by Trump and other Republicans refused to accept these challenges.
