Birtherism is back

Trump and his cult smear Kamala Harris and cowardly Republicans don’t stand up for her.

Graham’s unequivocal statement here is interesting since for at least a decade, he has supported revoking birthright citizenship https://t.co/6reHwxnaER https://t.co/2f8SLI4Xxn

Dear Republican Senators — @realDonaldTrump has smeared one of your colleagues suggesting she is not eligible to be President. Anyone of you want to stand up for your colleague? Any on of you have an ounce of respect for the Senate? Anyone still have any decency?

Neither side will accept the results if they lose.

If Trump loses, he’ll blame illegal votes and mail voting.

If Biden loses, he’ll blame voter suppression and foreign interference.

Trump has told numerous lies about illegal aliens voting and voter fraud in order to undermine public confidence in the election. If he can’t win, he wants to take the country down with him. Sad!

Taxpayers pay for Trump’s “political activity” at his club

He called it a political activity, not me. Taxpayers should not pay for this. Most of his club members who attended it did not wear masks initially. The media posted pictures of the lack of masks and then masks were passed out. They did not social distance. I hope the state of New Jersey investigates to see if the state’s coronavirus rules were broken. The whole thing is disgusting and corrupt.

The tweets below were from yesterday but Trump did it again today. At least his club members wore masks today.

Trump says members of his NJ club who are gathered maskless are complying with law bc it’s a “political activity” and “peaceful protest.” It’s unclear what they are protesting. Trump in recent days has said that wearing a mask is patriotic, but seems to be endorsing no masks now
