Donald Trump cited Vladimir Putin as an authority on the 2020 U.S. presidential election and false claims of voter fraud.
Russia has held rigged elections throughout Putin’s quarter-century reign as Russia’s dictator.
Trump has long claimed that the contest was rigged against him. After losing in 2020, he spent two months trying to overturn the results and ultimately inspired a deadly riot at the Capitol. He repeated those claims in an interview on Fox News with Sean Hannity on Friday, shortly after meeting with Putin in Alaska to discuss a potential end to Russia’s war in Ukraine.
I mean, he is technically an expert on election fraud… I don’t think any US election has been clean for some time now. But we can all keep pretending if we like. It’s only getting better each round! Right? Take the high road. It’s leading us to wonderful places. /s
