Wow, that's annoying. Always the same approach --- trust our deep state plant in the CISA who says there's no election fraud. Meanwhile, the chairman of the FEC says there's definitely fraud.
What Trump's presidency has proven is that people no longer trust the gaslighting approach of the media. The false appeal to authority. Just because somebody says something, even in a place of authority, it doesn't make it true.

I agree completely. So why is it that some people are so suspicious of anything that comes out saying that there is no evidence of significant fraud, but at the same time, seem to believe, without questioning, the claims of fraud that come from Breitbart, Newsmax, OANN, and Inforwars? Seriously, what is it that makes what THEY say true?
Trump said this morning that Biden won. Oh wait ... context ... "He won because the Election was Rigged. NO VOTE WATCHERS OR OBSERVERS allowed, vote tabulated by a Radical Left privately owned company, Dominion, with a bad reputation & bum equipment that couldn’t even qualify for Texas (which I won by a lot!), the Fake & Silent Media, & more!"

So yes, even if the President says something, it doesn't necessarily make it true.
