This will be perhaps the most insane address to the nation that has ever been given by an American president.Short and to the point. But in case you haven't heard, he is going to try to claim that Ossoff and Warnock were both elected illegitimately, among other things.
This is not normal, folks. And it will be a test for the corporate media, among other guardrails of our Democracy. And speaking of Democracies, the time for "keeping it" is here.

(11,069 posts)Warnock was reelected in 2022. Trump is claiming the 2020 election to be illegitimate. Therefore, even if Trump's idiotic claims about fraud in 2020 were true (they're not), Warnock's election would still be legitimate.
To be clear, both Georgia Senators are legit (Georgia certified their election results - case closed), just pointing out that Trump's claims don't even comport with basic logic.

(1,585 posts)What makes them think that six years later they can show proof that the Georgia Senators were elected illegitimately? Idiots. The hatefull @$$h0!3$ will believe it just because they're shitty racists.
