As Twitchy reported Wednesday, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre didn’t have much to say when Fox News’ Peter Doocy asked her about her own election denialism, which can be found in her old tweets. “I’m not going to go back to where we were,” she said. “I’m focused on the here and now.” Yes, but was the 2016 election stolen as you said?
We’ve all been assured that Donald Trump’s questions about election shenanigans in 2020 don’t compare in any way to Democrats saying the 2000, 2004, and 2016 elections were all stolen. Those Democrats, some of whom sit on the January 6 select committee, were just raising legitimate questions about voter suppression and rigged voting machines. As recently as 2018, Stacey Abrams claimed the Georgia gubernatorial election was stolen from her through voter suppression, even though voter turnout was the highest it had ever been.
But whatever shenanigans cost Abrams her election in 2018 were all eliminated in time for the 2020 presidential election, which was “the greatest success of American democracy in history.” That’s according to CBS News White House correspondent Major Garrett, who has a book to sell.
The 2020 election was the greatest success of American democracy in history, despite the lies some have been led to believe. What happens next?

So all of those concerns about voter suppression and gerrymandering were addressed by 2020? That’s great news.
Biggest success in history? https://t.co/kttp8lPJWB

2020 was a success for Democrat fraudsters.

Well, when you realize it was a successful heist and they got away with it, pretty epic success for them.

It wasn’t stolen, it was “fortified.”
The FBI and ex intelligence agents colluded with the media and big tech to affect the outcome of the 2020 election. Biden didn’t win. The gestapo did.

It’s extremely hard to call it a triumph of democracy when half the country legitimately doesn’t view it as legitimate. It comes off as saying only when that half lose is democracy working.

And millions of others would have voted for Trump had the feds not conspired with FB.

You’d think a White House correspondent would be more concerned about the FBI and big tech working together to, say, suppress the Hunter Biden laptop story in October, preventing people from sharing it, and then having former intelligence officials insist it was Russian disinformation. How does that factor into the greatest success in history?
Wow. claiming the 2020 election was the greatest success in history because the democrat won

If the words Zucker Bucks are nowhere to be found in your book then it’s complete BS.

Just off the top of my head:
-FBI/Media/Tech suppressed Hunter laptop
-Zuckbucks $400m in swing states
-Democratic courts violated article 1 section 4 of constitution bypassing state legislatures in changing election laws— KFried (@CubbyNAZ) September 7, 2022

The people who said the 2000, 2004, and 2016 elections were stolen – and who insist every lost Congressional election is because of vote suppression – are here to save democracy from the people who say the 2020 election was stolen.

There’s no possible better sign of this than the White House Press Secretary attacking election conspiracies while herself being an election conspiracy theorist. https://t.co/H5wXQrWEFi

If the @gop were smart they would play all of the videos from those elections as part of their adverts.

It's only ok when they say the election was stolen but when we say it was we get called conspiracy theorists and cult members
— Brianna Price🇺🇸🦅 (@briprice661) September 7, 2022
And those are the nice things we get called.

Don’t forget gerrymandering…
— Geoffrey Pereira (@PolAdIntel14) September 7, 2022
And then, after Joe Biden was inaugurated, DHS created a Disinformation Governance Board led by a woman who called the Hunter Biden story “a fairy tale about a laptop repair shop” to oversee online “disinformation.” They’re already trying to “fortify” the 2024 election.
