Hey Trump and Rudy — Here Comes Elon Musk!

When did Donald Trump decide that the results of the 2020 election were a fraud?

He certainly had some help from Scumbag Roger Stone who ran ads in 2016 asking people to donate to the Trump campaign, with the following text: “If it’s a close election, they’ll try to steal it.”

Well, it was a close election, indeed very close. But Trump won, so there was no reason to say anything more about election ‘fraud.’

But 2016 was only six years ago. There’s another guy out there who has been Trump’s lawyer on and off for the past six years, and he started accusing the Democrats of stealing elections in — ready? — 1989!

That’s right. Rudy Giuliani first ran for Mayor against David Dinkins in 1989 and lost by somewhere around 50,000 votes.

Why did Giuliani lose? Because according to him, “some people voted eight to ten times.”

Incidentally, four years later, Giuliani ran against Dinkins again and this time won the election by roughly the same 50,000 votes. So did all those voters who cast eight to ten ballots for Dinkins in 1989 turn around and cast those same ballots for Rudy in 1993?

The bottom line here is that when Trump put Giuliani in charge of the ‘Stop the Steal’ campaign, it wasn’t like this was something which came up on…
