WND Columnists Remain As Obsessed As Ever With Purported 2020 Election Fraud

The fact that election fraud has never been proven in the 2020 presidential election hasn’t kept WorldNetDaily columnists from continuing to be obsessed with it. Richard Blakley used his Feb. 10 column to portray alleged election fraud as “the elephant in the room”:

Wow! What enormous topic or question could our legislative body in Washington be ignoring? Well, for it to be an enormous topic, it seems it should involve our country.

Let’s see. It could involve our Constitution. Oh, what else?

Well, we have a republic. Hmm, that is a representative type of government where people are elected to represent the people.

What could possibly be enormously important about that?

Well, elections in a republic are supposed to be what is termed “free and fair.” “Free and fair” elections have been defined to mean, an election involving “political freedoms and fair processes leading up to the vote, a fair count of eligible voters who cast a ballot (including such aspects as electoral fraud or voter suppression), and acceptance of election results by all parties.”

What elephant in the room could cause: 1) an online newspaper to be demonetized because it pointed at the elephant, or 2) make a large “conservative” news agency’s lawyers tell their staff “not to touch it,” concerning a well-documented documentary addressing proven aspects concerning the elephant, or 3) make it so a well-respected former mayor for one of our countries largest cities has to face persecution for talking about the elephant.

What could this elephant be? It seems that if this elephant is not addressed, it will still be around and could impact things in the future – for his size is enormous.

Blakley’s first bullet point refers to WND being “demonetized” by “big tech” — which happened because WND publishes fake news and conspiracy theories, not because it addressed purported election fraud. The second bullet point references allegations that Fox News refused to promote Dinesh D’Souza’s film “2000 Mules” which — contrary to Blakley’s claim that it is “well-documented” — has been repeatedly discredited. The “well-respected former mayor” Blakley is referring to in his final bullet point is Rudy Giuliani, who is being “persecuted” for making claims in a lawsuit that were unsupported by evidence, not for talking about purported election fraud.

Wayne Allyn Root similarly clung to those delusions as he used his Feb. 11 column to declare what Sarah Huckabee Sanders should have talked about in her Republican response to President Biden’s State of the Union address:

The first one she missed was RIGGED AND STOLEN ELECTIONS.

I hate to break it to the GOP establishment, but your entire base believes the 2020 election was stolen from former President Donald Trump.

And because the GOP and the RNC are afraid of their own shadow, they have done absolutely nothing since 2020 to fix the problem. Result: we got robbed again in the 2022 midterms.

Look no further than Kari Lake’s defeat in Arizona. That’s the biggest rip-off since Bernie Madoff. The whole Arizona election was pure voter fraud. We all know it. Sen. John Fetterman defeating Dr. Mehmet Oz is another ludicrous example. It sure would be nice if our GOP leaders mentioned rigged and stolen elections.

Why was it important to mention this in a SOTU response? Because elections have consequences. I believe Biden and Democrats stole 2020. And then they used this illegitimate presidency to destroy this nation from a thousand different directions.

Sarah mentioned all the problems in America: the crime wave, the worst inflation in modern history, exploding debt, declining economy, open borders and an invasion of millions of migrants waved in. It could be that all those terrible problems exist because Democrats stole the election and we let them get away with it.

If we don’t address voter fraud and rigged elections, we will never win another election. 

Root listed one of his other bugaboos, “the COVID-19 vaccine disaster,” as something else Sanders should have brought up, going on to add that “One other thing Sarah left out: She never mentioned the name of the greatest president of my lifetime, Donald J. Trump.”
