CNN Anchor Jake Tapper Calls out RNC for Pushing 'Deranged Lie' That Donald Trump Won the Election
After Donald Trump's lawyers held a press conference on the topic of voter fraud on Thursday [...]
'They've failed America'
The GOP is actively radicalizing American citizens against a democratic process & their own country with fringe conspiracy theories after having put people who aimed guns at peaceful protest for racial injustice on center stage at their convention.
They’ve failed America.

With many echoing the sentiment that the GOP has "failed America," thousands took to Tapper's tweet to share how this continued "lunacy" has to stop. "A sane party would distance itself from this lunacy, not sign onto it," wrote political scientist Seth Masket.

I’m not a Republican, but I used to respect their position and I always believed that they had the best interests of the US at heart.

Now they have shown that they are so close to fascism that they would betray the foundation upon which the US was founded just to hold onto power.
This needs to be repeated until it sinks in. And it must be on the smart board for the duration of @RepAdamSchiff’s opening statement at our Nuremberg Trials. The @GOP is a disgrace to its legacy, and beyond repair. https://t.co/gjQpn7xwji

Others have taken to Tapper's tweet to share how while they have compassionately "respected" the other party, that has changed and created a greater divide between the two.
prevnextThe new 'normal'
This is not insane. This is expected. The RNC know it cannot win elections without Trump’s “base” anymore. And they won’t vote for Republicans, they will vote for Trump or whomever trump tells them to vote for. It’s his party now. They just haven’t rebranded yet.

But it isn't insane. It's normal. This is what has become normalized blatant lying because of how media functions in our society. And it's everywhere.

With Americans taking to Twitter to state how this is now more than ever "expected" with the party, many arguably state it is expected with the RNC as they have used Trump as a "puppet" for their agenda.
prevnextCriticism of news media
If y’all in the media didn’t spend 5 years normalizing trump and both siding republicans and democrats, we wouldn’t be here.
Trump is able to use the Big Lie because y’all never held him to account for the smaller ones he told since he came down the golden escalator https://t.co/1mvtH1j1lC

At some point down the line when all the truth comes out about the complicity of the media I really hope these scumbags pay a very dear price for their treachery. https://t.co/oNbVLSDMIr

As Tapper laid down criticism of the RNC's lies, many also took to his comments section to hold him — and other media outlets — accountable for "normalizing" Trump and taking sides during the last five years.
prevnext'Not our narrative'
Just so we're all clear, this is not our narrative and doesn't fit into our deranged fraud that @JoeBiden got more votes than @BarackObama . So we are going to denigrate anyone who believes @realDonaldTrump won it in a landslide and @DNC tried to STEAL the Presidency w/ FRAUD. https://t.co/YRoLqRh109

Many conservatives, who respect democracy, have taken to Twitter to share how this is not their party at all while trying to distance themselves from a baseless narrative. With many taking to Tapper's tweet to express how this isn't "how it works," there are several thousands of Americans looking forward to the change come January.
prevnextWhere's the proof?
Even Tucker Carlson of all people invited her on his show and offered her an entire hour to present any real evidence she had and she refused. She’s got nothing and you all know it. This is obviously as infinitely embarrassing for our country as it is dangerous.
— Brian Stack (@BrianStack153) November 20, 2020
They have never offered proof. They never will. It is all lies and conspiracies. And the official party account is going down with the ship.
— Kyle Griffin (@kylegriffin1) November 19, 2020
"The official party knows that they have millions of angry, jobless, hopeless, & misinformed Americans who believe the election was stolen," wrote one American in response to Griffin's tweet. "This isn't politics anymore, Kyle. This is a coup. The pattern is repeated over and over throughout history. Can it happen here? IT IS!"
