President Trump on Saturday accused Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and other Republicans of failing to fight in his favor over the outcome of the 2020 presidential election – continuing Trump’s argument of “rigging and stealing.”
The president’s latest claims came just 25 days before January. Democrats inaugurated Biden after the November 20 election, and after the Dec. 14 vote in the Electoral College ledge, all confirmed Biden’s victory. The only January 6 session on Capitol Hill – in which legislators are expected to accept election results – lies between Trump and the end of his term in the White House.
That was not the case, Trump suggested Saturday, as McConnell and Senate Republicans did not work hard enough to guarantee him a second term.

“If a Democrat presidential candidate has a rigged and rigged election that has never been seen before with evidence of such acts, Democrat senators will consider it an act of war, and fight death,” Trump wrote on Twitter. . “Mitch and the Republicans do nothing, just want to let it pass. No fighting!”
In another tweet, the president accused the Justice Department and the FBI of letting him go. Attorney General William Barre, who led the DOJ, gave his last day in the post on Wednesday after announcing his resignation.
Trump insisted that the “Department of Justice” and the FBI have done nothing about voter fraud in the 2020 presidential election, the biggest scam in our country’s history, despite the evidence. “They should be ashamed. History will remember. Never give up. See everyone in DC on January 6th.”
In a previous tweet on December 19, Trump invited his supporters to attend a “big protest in DC” as Congress prepares to accept election results that day.
“Stay there, it will be wild!” Trump wrote at the time.
In a subsequent tweet on Saturday, Trump expressed concern over the lack of results of the investigation by John Durham, a special adviser on the origins of the Russia investigation, and called the US Supreme Court “completely incompetent and weak” over his allegations of electoral fraud. (In some state-level legal controversies, the Trump 2020 campaign and legal efforts by Republicans have largely failed to overcome voter-fraud claims.)
Later on Saturday, Trump again urged Senate Republicans to “fight for and adopt the presidency,” failing to bid his second term. “Late night mail-in belt drops filling ballot boxes in swing states (on video)”, double voters, dead voters. “
Many of Trump’s tweets on Saturday were strongly denied by Twitter, saying “this claim of electoral fraud has been disputed.”
Also on Saturday, Trump defended his legal team after reports by Michigan Attorney General, Dana Nessel, of possible sanctions against him, sparking controversy after Trump’s campaign that the swing state election results came into controversy, which favored Biden.
“These lawyers are true patriots who fight for the truth and obviously come very close,” Trump wrote. “AG should be allowed. Fight!”
It was not clear whether McConnell and other top Republicans would heed Trump’s call for action.
After the Dec. 14 election led by College Ledge, the majority leader called Biden a “president-elect” for the first time, suggesting he was ready to accept to become Democrat’s chief executive in less than a month.
“The electorate has spoken out for the College Ledge, so today I want to congratulate President-elect Joe Biden,” McConnell, R-Q, said on the Senate floor on Dec. 15, a day after voters cast their ballots. “No stranger to the Senate elected president. He has dedicated himself to public service for many years.”
Some other Republicans follow suit.
“At some point, you have to face the music,” said Sen. of South Dakota. John Thuen told the Associated Press on Monday. “Once the election college resolves this issue today, it’s time for everyone to move on.”

The panel will now work with Vice President Biden as president-elect, said Sen. Roy Blunt of Missouri, chair of the inaugural committee.
Speaking of Democrats, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi reportedly told members of her party that she would make sure Trump leaves office on January 20.
“I plan to pull her from there by her hair, her small arms and legs,” Polosi said.
