For example, speaking with<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=XQesfLIycJw\"><span>CBS Sunday Morning<\/span><\/a><span>, Clinton said that \u201cTrump knows he\u2019s an illegitimate president.\u201d&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Asked whether being shunned by Democratic candidates in 2019 angered her, she<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/politics\/hillary-clinton-trump-is-an-illegitimate-president\/2019\/09\/26\/29195d5a-e099-11e9-b199-f638bf2c340f_story.html\"><span>said<\/span><\/a><span>, \u201c<\/span><span>No, it doesn\u2019t kill me because he knows he\u2019s an illegitimate president.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cI believe he understands that the many varying tactics they used, from voter suppression and voter purging to hacking to the false stories \u2014 he knows that \u2014 there were just a bunch of different reasons why the election turned out like it did,\u201d she added.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>YouTube is replete with examples of Clinton peddling demonstrably false and conspiratorial claims regarding her defeat in 2020, blaming former FBI Director James Comey and Russia for her loss, that the election was rigged, or that Trump stole the election. These videos remain public.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Elizabeth Warren<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span>On the subject of the 2016 election, Sen. Elizabeth Warren also claimed that the 2016 Democratic primary was rigged.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Speaking with<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=XBYnJh45WS8\"><span>PBS NewsHour<\/span><\/a> <span>in November 2017, when asked whether she thought the election was rigged, Warren responded, \u201cI think it was.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cThe process was rigged and now it is up to Democrats to build a new process, a process that really works and works for everyone,\u201d Warren<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbs.org\/newshour\/politics\/sen-elizabeth-warren-says-2016-democratic-primary-was-rigged\"><span>said<\/span><\/a><span>. \u201cIt\u2019s got to have an outcome that really has the confidence of the people.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Stacey Abrams<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span>On multiple occasions, former Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams has alleged election fraud or illegitimacy. Speaking with<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=QZXCKPEpUV8\"><span>CNN<\/span><\/a><span>, she claimed that \u201cDemocracy failed,\u201d and that her electoral defeat was due to systemic and deliberate disenfranchisement.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>When she finally acknowledged her loss to Brian Kemp, Abrams blamed \u201cincompetence and mismanagement.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cBut we are a mighty nation because we embedded in our national experiment the chance to fix what is broken. To call out what has faltered. To demand fairness wherever it can be found. Which is why on Election Night, I declared that our fight to count every vote is not about me. It is about us. It\u2019s about the democracy we share and our responsibility to preserve our way of life. Our democracy \u2014 because voting is a right and not a privilege,\u201d Abrams continued.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cI stand here today as witness to that truth. This election is about all of us \u2014 as is the resolution of this moment.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cBut to watch an elected official \u2014 who claims to represent the people of this state, baldly pin his hopes for election on the suppression of the people\u2019s democratic right to vote \u2014 has been truly appalling. So, to be clear, this is not a speech of concession,\u201d Abrams added. \u201cConcession means to acknowledge an action is right, true or proper. As a woman of conscience and faith, I cannot concede. But my assessment is that the law currently allows no further viable remedy.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cI know that eight years of systemic disenfranchisement, disinvestment and incompetence had its desired effect on the electoral process in Georgia.<\/span> <span>I also know that we live in a nation where four federal judges were necessary to force the counting of more ballots cast, in the face of Brian Kemp\u2019s opposition and disregard to their lawful consideration.<\/span> <span>I know that millions of Georgians, of Americans \u2014 of goodwill and various partisan beliefs \u2014 are enraged by these truths. In response, you may seek to vent your anger, or worse, turn away from politics because it can be as rigged and rotten as you\u2019ve always believed,\u201d she said later.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Despite Abrams\u2019 widespread claim that she is the true victor of the 2018 race, her<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=G1YXTP7u8Ds\"><span>full speech<\/span><\/a> <span>\u2014 and other videos making similar arguments \u2014 remain on YouTube.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Beto O\u2019Rourke<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span>Failed US Senate and presidential candidate, Robert \u201cBeto\u201d O\u2019Rourke also promoted the false claim that Abrams\u2019 loss was illegitimate. Speaking on \u201cThe View,\u201d O\u2019Rourke said that the race may have been rigged.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cThe grace with which she met that defeat on an unfair, un-level playing field with the Secretary of State perhaps rigging, in part, that election\u2026is inspiring stuff at a time that our democracy is so badly broken,\u201d he<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=gFt9fUQFBsM&amp;t=2s\"><span>said<\/span><\/a><span>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Kamala Harris<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span>Vice President Kamala Harris also made unsubstantiated<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/6yYIEmDwgzw\"><span>claims<\/span><\/a> <span>of voter suppression, both about Stacey Abrams in Georgia and Andrew Gillum in Florida.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cLet\u2019s say this loud and clear: Without voter suppression, Stacey Abrams would be the governor of Georgia; Andrew Gillum is the governor of Florida,\u201d she<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/beto-orourke-stacey-abrams-rigged-election\"><span>said<\/span><\/a> <span>in May 2019.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cSo the truth is we need a new Voting Rights Act,\u201d she added.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>***<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Yet again, the hypocrisy of Big Tech\u2019s \u201cintegrity policies\u201d is on full display. After the defeat of Hillary Clinton, Stacey Abrams, and Andrew Gillum, the widespread insistence by Democrats that their losses were illegitimate were often permitted on such platforms, with the unsupported arguments promoted for years by the mainstream legacy media.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The only difference now appears to be that it\u2019s a Republican making accusations of impropriety, and so Big Tech and the legacy media must suddenly spring to action. Suddenly, the truth matters. Suddenly, we need context.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em><span>Ian Haworth is an Editor and Writer for The Daily Wire.
