President-elect Donald Trump on Sunday made the astonishing claim that “millions of people who voted illegally” contributed to opponent Hillary Clinton’s victory in the popular vote, following a campaign based largely on spreading conspiracy theories and claiming that the election was “rigged” against him.

Trump’s latest lie seems to have originated from the conservative conspiracy website Infowars, which published an article claiming that Trump actually won the popular vote because “three million votes in the U.S. presidential election were cast by illegal aliens.” .............................................



I saw this tweet a bit ago:

Since when is "takes aim" a synonym for lies without any evidence?

1. That is a perfect example why I no long receive the WSJ. I also downgraded my Satellite Service

to the family pack on November 9, which is essentially the locals.

I no longer receive CNN, MSNBC, CNBC, or fox

2. Online headline is a little better

Donald Trump Alleges That ‘Millions of People’ Voted Illegally
President-elect offers no evidence of claim that he otherwise would have won the popular vote

It should be incumbent on every "journalist" to ask Trump and everyone of his surrogates about this claim. Do not let them move off the topic without offering proof.

3. Don't hold your breath

By using quotes around the word journalist, I think you know that no one in media is going to push back against Donald Trump's fabrications. After all, then they'd lose access to the Trump Administration and how would they be able to do their jobs?
