Trump says Biden ‘won’ while promoting election conspiracy theories
President Trump seemingly acknowledged President-elect Joe Biden’s victory in a tweet early Sunday while continuing to spread unsubstantiated conspiracy theories about a rigged presidential election.
“He won because the Election was Rigged. NO VOTE WATCHERS OR OBSERVERS allowed, vote tabulated by a Radical Left privately owned company, Dominion, with a bad reputation & bum equipment that couldn’t even qualify for Texas (which I won by a lot!), the Fake & Silent Media, & more!” Trump tweeted in response to a clip from Fox News’s Jesse Watters.
“All of the mechanical ‘glitches’ that took place on Election Night were really THEM getting caught trying to steal votes. They succeeded plenty, however, without getting caught,” the president said in a subsequent tweet. “Mail-in elections are a sick joke!
The tweets, like many of the president’s recent posts about the election, were flagged by Twitter as containing disputed claims about election fraud. The president has repeatedly falsely claimed observers were barred during the vote-counting process, and the campaign’s legal challenges have not claimed the software used in tabulating the votes affected the outcome.
