Democrats Can't Quash the ‘Big Lie'
[American Greatness] Six months later, the "Big Lie" won’t die.

The "Big Lie," of course, isn’t that the 2020 election was stolen—it’s that the election was perfectly fair and lawful.

The Left and NeverTrump have tried everything in their collective power to punish critics of the 2020 presidential election: Social media accounts, including those belonging to Donald Trump, have been deplatformed. Republican lawmakers have been cut off by longtime donors, threatened with legal recourse, and worse.

Nonviolent Trump-supporting Americans who traveled to the nation’s capital on January 6 to protest dubious election results in swing states now face criminal charges. Nearly 75 million Americans are considered potential "domestic violent extremists" by their own government and nearly half their countrymen agree.

Lives and careers are being destroyed—and the Biden regime is only getting started.

The news media portray election doubters as conspiracy theorists or QAnon cultists. CNN’s Jake Tapper this week threatened to ban from his show any Republican who peddles the "Big Lie" about election fraud. Speaking on the same network responsible for perpetuating any number of lies related to Donald Trump, from tales of Russian election collusion to disrespectful MAGA-hat-wearing Catholic teenagers, Tapper had a major meltdown.

"The lie about the election on its own is anti-democracy, and it is sowing seeds of ignorance in the populace, and obviously has the potential to incite violence," Tapper ranted. "But beyond that is, if you’re willing to lie about that, what are you not willing to lie about?"

Tapper insisted that history would harshly judge politicians who "lied" about the election. "History sees you being a coward. They are afraid of Republican voters who have been lied to by a very sophisticated propaganda machine led by President Trump but augmented by plenty of others."

Projection much?

Beleaguered Representative Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.), a martyr to the very same people who just a decade ago wanted her father charged with war crimes, now clings to political relevance based on her nonstop condemnation of the January 6 protest and her election fraud denialism. Naturally, Cheney found an appropriate outlet for her latest tantrum—the opinion pages of the Washington Post—where she attempted to lecture a Republican Party with a voter base that wants nothing to do with her.

"[F]ormer President Donald Trump has repeated his claims that the 2020 election was a fraud and was stolen," Cheney wrote in an op-ed published Wednesday. "Trump repeats these words now with full knowledge that exactly this type of language provoked violence on Jan. 6."

Like so many NeverTrumpers, Cheney dutifully tied the events of January 6 to alleged delusions about an unfair and unlawful election. So, brainwashed MAGA Man, you think the 2020 election wasn’t on the up-and-up? Then you’re no better than the deplorable insurrectionists who "stormed" the Capitol that day, warns Cheney and her fellow travelers at National Review.

#4 They can Quash it if they simply allow a full audit.

I wonder why they don't.

#5 I really do await the results of the Arizona audit with great anticipation. Maybe the start of a preference cascade.

#6 Truth, or something, as being told by the victors. The Dems are still in tears over the hanging chad issues, and screaming the election was stolen...
