“Those doubts exist largely bc he has told the falsehood over and over,others around him have done the same,and many others in the party have not stood up to him, preferring to look the other way https://t.co/wLEw7haseI
Yes, the Arizona "audit" imploded on Trump. But people are missing a big part of the story: Its "findings" continue to push the lie that the 2020 outcome was dubious, and Republicans are gearing up to use this to fake-justify voter suppression. My latest:https://t.co/yParsuFUVM
