'REALLY WEIRD': Trump getting supporters to pledge to 'cheat like hell' in election raises alarms
During a midterm convention event, Donald Trump instructed his supporters to pledge to "cheat like hell" in upcoming elections, mirroring claims that Democrats cheat. This statement, delivered after a pledge for election honesty, has raised alarms about Trump potentially refusing to accept election results if Republicans lose in November. This follows a pattern of unsubstantiated claims of election rigging, even after numerous court cases found no evidence of widespread fraud in the 2020 election.
Trump's rhetoric creates a justification for him and his allies to contest or reject election outcomes, potentially undermining democratic processes and leading to challenges in certifying results, particularly if Republicans underperform in the midterms.
The video also discusses Donald Trump's pledge of a $5,000 cash giveaway if Republicans win, his limited spending of campaign funds, a former White House attorney's views on Trump's election interference plans, and legal challenges to new mail ballot rules potentially disrupting voting.
