To nobody’s surprise, WorldNetDaily editor Joseph Farah is continuing to push conspiracy theories about the election and whitewashing the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.
Under the headline “The enemies within,” Farah’s May 28 column attacked Republicans who voted for a 9/11-style bipartisan commission to examine the insurrection, declaring that “Those are the people who need to be ousted at the end of the day, the sooner the better” and the commission proposal to be “overkill, an outreach by Democrats who planned to use it to once again implicate Donald Trump when he did nothing wrong.” Farah then ranted:
Republicans are the problem we face. We’re losing our freedom, our God-given heritage, our constitutional republic. We need to be reunited. Democrats are. Republicans need to stand for something.
That means ensuring free and open elections – something we didn’t have in 2020. On Jan. 6, hundreds entered the Capitol, some breaking windows and some inextricably being let in by Capitol Police. The crowd was protesting what they saw correctly as a rigged election. They were not armed. They did not have bombs. By the standard of previous Capitol protests, it was cakewalk.
One person died as a result of the protest, shot without warning by an unknown policeman, though reports are still insisting that five people, including Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick, were killed in the attack. They were NOT. Ashli Babbitt was the only victim of the violence. The others died on natural causes.
More than 400 people have been charged criminally in the wake of Jan. 6.
Do you believe that? It’s insane. It’s so over the top. This was not an “insurrection.”
Farah then repeated his own attacks on the election itself:
So why are Democrats fighting so hard against the idea of finding out what went wrong in the election?
Why should any American want to uphold a questionable election?
Democrats do. They are united behind it. They believe that Democrats should never lose another election. They want to get rid of police. What does that tell you? They don’t believe in the laws of the land and, as a point in case, they want open borders. What does that tell you? They don’t believe in making America great. What does that tell you?
And neither do a handful of Republicans want to make America great.They resent Donald Trump for even talking about it, for making it his No. 1 priority.
We need at least one free midterm election between now and the next presidential cycle in which Donald Trump, the most popular presidential candidate – and the most controversial – has a chance to do his thing.
Will he have it?
I’m betting on it. Or else this country’s over.
Farah used his June 18 column to peddle another election conspiracy theory:
What do we do when it appears, later than we like, that the 2020 election was thrown after all?
BIG TIME!
The latest story from Just the News is that the Georgia audit documents expose “significant election failures” in the state’s largest county.
“Documents that Georgia’s largest county submitted to state officials as part of a post-election audit highlight significant irregularities in the Atlanta area during last November’s voting, ranging from identical vote tallies repeated multiple times to large batches of absentee ballots that appear to be missing from the official ballot-scanning records,” said the story.
This is big. And coupled with Arizona early results of an audit conducted in Maricopa County, Wisconsin, which apparently shows more votes than voters, Pennsylvania’s anomalies, Michigan and several other states, it’s really looking like Donald Trump won the 2020 election – and probably broke Joe Biden’s crooked record.
The report from the right-wing Just the News appears to have been heavily cherry-picked. The auditor, Carter Jones, also pointed out how partisan election monitors, many of them Republican, were harassing election officials during the November vote count “seemed to feel as though they were detectives or sheriffs and that they were going to personally ‘crack the case’ and uncover a stolen election.” Most importantly, Jones said that “in the nearly 300 hours he spent at various locations in the county, he did not witness ‘any dishonesty, fraud or intentional malfeasance.'” But far be it for Farah to care about facts:
I don’t know how it will turn out until we know two things: The full story of how the vote really went and how the election was stolen from Donald Trump, not to mention all the down-ballot confusion and suspicion and who really should be controlling Congress today.
Now you know why there was such a rush to certify the votes in Congress … and then to go after all of the “insurrectionists.”
Actually, there was no “rush to certify” the presidential election in Congress; the Jan. 6 election certification is established in the Constitution and federal code.
