Democrats and Republicans rejected this Sunday (4) a message released by former President Donald Trump with requests to annul sections of the Constitution under the false thesis that there was fraud in the 2020 elections.
Trump, who last month announced his intention to run for president again, has again disseminated, without evidence, that the election won by Joe Biden was not legitimate.
“A massive fraud of this type and magnitude allows for the repeal of all rules, regulations and articles, even those found in the Constitution,” he wrote on his Truth Social platform. “Our great ‘founders’ did not and would not tolerate false and fraudulent elections!”
In response, Hakeem Jeffries, the newly chosen leader of the House Democrats, called the message extremist. He also took the opportunity to sting the Republican Party by questioning whether the party intends to continue putting up with the former president’s anti-democratic positions.
“Republicans are going to have to sort out their issues with the former president and decide whether to break with him and return to some semblance of reason or if they’re going to continue to lean towards extremism, not just Trump, but Trumpism,” Jeffries said.
Trump has even been criticized by colleagues in his own party. Representative Mike Turner of Ohio, the top Republican on the House Intelligence Committee, said he “vehemently” disagreed with the content of the message, and that the publication should be taken into account in the internal disputes of the party.
Trump is investigated for involvement in the events leading up to the January 6 attack on the Capitol. On the occasion, a mob of supporters inflated by the politician invaded the Congressional building seeking to interrupt Biden’s victory certification session in the elections. The republican claimed —and continues to do so today— that the election would have been rigged; American Justice has never found any evidence that this could have happened.
