I cited an opinion piece that nonetheless contained multiple relevant facts - exact quotes from multiple Republican officials that support my assertion.
You’re continuing to ignore these facts. I’m not sure why - you asked for a cite for my assertion, and I, in good faith, linked to a piece with multiple supporting facts. Why are you unwilling to consider these supporting facts that I provided? It’s a fact that multiple Republican officials said these things.
So why not just link to the quotes, then?
He linked to the quotes. Are you okay?
Do you guys really think he doesn’t know? This is his game to engage you in endless nonsensical circles.
No, he linked to someone else’s opinion. If the quotes were so compelling, why not link to them directly?
Fine, have it your way.
“The Republican Party, the strategists, the consultants, they firmly believe that early voting is bad for Republican Party candidates,” Greer told The Post. “It’s done for one reason and one reason only. … ‘We’ve got to cut down on early voting because early voting is not good for us,’ ” Greer said he was told by those staffers and consultants.
“The things they had in there were crazy,” Trump said. “They had things — levels of voting that, if you ever agreed to it, you’d never have a Republican elected in this country again.”
Ralston’s original comments riled civil rights groups who said he was opposing voting access to benefit his political party’s candidates. He had said in an interview that heavy reliance on voting by mail “will be extremely devastating to Republicans and conservatives.”
“If Republicans don’t challenge and change the U.S. election system, there will never be another Republican president elected again,” Graham said Sunday on Fox News Channel.
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton claimed if it hadn’t been for state leadership blocking counties from sending out mass mail-in ballots, former President Donald Trump would have lost the Lone Star State in 2020…
“We would’ve been in the same boat. We would’ve been one of those battleground states that were counting votes in Harris County for three days, and Donald Trump would’ve lost the election,” Paxton said on Steve Bannon’s War Room on Friday.
Really, with the Twit nonsense? Does no one believe in original sources any longer?
Stop this nonsense and admit you don’t want to acknowledge the validity of the quotes instead of just dancing around and pretending the sources aren’t good enough for you.
You must realize that twitface isn’t a legitimate source for, well, anything.
And your issue with the other five sources in my post is…?
If you don’t like Twitter, I can provide you with several more cites for Finchem’s quote.
Would you consider yourself to be a legitimate source for your crooked election tale?
Two of them were labeled “analysis”, which is, by definition, opinion.
And what in the blue fuck does that have to do with the validity of the quotes? Are you going to claim it’s the author’s opinion that those people said the things attributed to them? That’s not how journalism works.
A message board is not a cite.
How about an audio recording of Trump saying the words with his own mouth? Is that a cite?
Are you claiming that Donald Trump did not say the words he is recorded saying in the video embedded in that tweet?
ETA: What’s that? No rapid-fire response?
I thought as much.
In my personal opinion, mature adults don’t “tweet”. It’s well beyond silly.
If that’s your thing, have at it. I will not.
Your personal opinion is noted.
Did Trump (who, incidentally, was an avid Twitter user for 11 years) say the words he said in that video, or didn’t he?
