On Jan. 23, 2017, Trump launched a renewed “Big Lie” campaign on alleged massive voter fraud in a White House meeting with top Democratic and Republican leaders. He named undocumented immigrants as one of the great “Enemies of the People” and our democracy. They allegedly stole the election.
“As part of the conversation, Mr. Trump asserted that three to five million unauthorized immigrants voted for Mrs. Clinton.”
The “Big Lie” grows as the evidence remains non-existent. The formerly faceless enemy of illegal voters has been replaced by the faces of dark-skinned undocumented immigrants.
Given the level of threat alleged by the “Big Lie,” Trumpism requires new attacks. On January 26, 2017, Sean Spicer, Trump’s press secretary, laid out the line of attack:
“We have to understand where the problem exists, how deep it is, and then suggest some remedies…It’s a belief that he (Trump) has maintained for a while, a concern that he has about voter fraud. And that’s based on information that’s provided.”
The National Association of Secretaries of State politely countered with the following: “We are not aware of any evidence that supports the voter fraud claims of President Trump, but we are open to learning more about the administration’s concerns.” In short, show us the evidence.
Let’s call out Trump administration’s big lies | The Stand
Trump was confronted by David Muir of ABC News who repeatedly demanded verifiable proof of Trump’s claim on millions of illegal voters stealing the popular vote.
Trump’s response:
“You know what is important. Millions of people agree with me when I say that.”
In essence, belief in the his unverified “Big Lie” is what is important. The truth is not important. This is the annihilation of truth coupled with attacks on our so-called enemies in an alleged defense of our country. They have no evidence yet they will persist in their attacks.
