“This is maybe the most important speech I’ve ever made,” said Donald Trump, detailing his latest efforts to fight voter fraud in a 45-minute video posted on Facebook.
The president said he would present the evidence of mass fraud in court.
“If we don’t root out the fraud, the tremendous and horrible fraud that’s taken place in our 2020 election, we won’t have a country anymore,” he said.
Trump blamed the “corrupt” vote-by-mail ballot system expanded during the coronavirus pandemic, claiming that it was left open for voter fraud in key cities in swing states such as Michigan, Wisconsin, Arizona, Pennsylvania, and Georgia.
“What changed this year was the Democrat Party’s relentless push to print and mail out tens of millions of ballots sent to unknown recipients with virtually no safeguards of any kind,” Trump said.
Trump warned that the same suspect system would be used in the special run-off elections for Georgia Sens. Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue.
“It is statistically impossible that the person, me, that lead the charge lost,” he said.
The president also revisited his frustration with the Justice Department and special prosecutor John Durham concerning the investigation of former President Barack Obama’s administration spying on his 2016 campaign.
“Who knows if he’s ever going to do a report,” Trump said, adding, “The hardest thing I have to do is explain why nothing is happening with all of these people that got caught spying on my campaign.”
The president also accused the media of purposefully hiding the truth about the election and noted their refusal to investigate claims of election fraud.
“Even what I’m saying now will be demeaned and disparaged, but that’s okay. I just keep on going forward because I’m representing 74 million people,” he said.
