Oct 16 (Reuters) - After dodging the issue for weeks, Republican vice-presidential candidate JD Vance said unequivocally on Wednesday he believes false claims that Donald Trump did not lose the 2020 election.
Taking questions from reporters at a campaign event in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, Vance was again asked if Trump lost to President Joe Biden four years ago. On the election of 2020, I've answered this question directly a million times. No! I think there are serious problems in 2020, Vance said. So, did Donald Trump lose the election in 2020? Not by the words that I would use.
Trump, the Republican candidate for president in 2024, continues to falsely claim that he lost the 2020 election due to extensive voter fraud, a view shared by millions of his supporters. Numerous inquiries, however, have found no evidence of fraud.
During his current run for president, Trump has suggested he will challenge the results if he does not prevail in the Nov. 5 contest against Democrat Kamala Harris, the US vice president. His efforts to overturn the 2020 election led to his indictment by federal and state officials. He still awaits trial in those cases. His refusal to accept the outcome also sparked the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol by thousands of his supporters.

The first rule of working for Trump kwhich is essentially what he's doing) if that you have to be willing to lie about whatever he wants to lie about.

(18,302 posts)I think that's why he made a pretzel out of himself trying not to answer that question directly.
But living in Trump World means signing on to the lies, as he has found out.

Changed the outcome.
That is quite an IF if you ask me and it's completely speculative.
The fact is that trump didn't have the votes so he lost the election. There is no other legit answer to the question.

(7,533 posts)An online journalist shouted at Vance "did Donald Trump lose the 2020 election". When Vance did not respond he again asked "did Donald Trump not lose the 2020 election" to which Vance answered "yes". Astonished, the journalist clarified "you're saying Trump did not lose the 2020 election" and Vance said "yeah". So Vance has been giving a one-word answer for a few days and now is the first he has elaborated.

So.... Dumpy f*cking lost 2020 by any definition a stable mind can think of to use.
However, "by the words that I would use". What a crock of sh*t.
Dumpy done got beat by the other old white guy, and he can't take it. The mental hit and slam to his ego was too big. Errr..... bigly.

(6,104 posts)Be wary of those who try to ignore historical events and dismiss commonly known evidence as not worthy of consideration.
Be wary of those who evade simple questions.
Be wary of those who eye couches with carnal lust, malice and mischief in mind.
. . . not talking about anyone specific, honest!
