President Trump focused on election security, as he continues to insist — falsely — that the 2020 presidential election was stolen from him during his address from the White House on Thursday. In his speech, the president said there are "catastrophic vulnerabilities" in U.S. elections. @MajorCBS weighs in on the president's rhetoric.
"We've had primary elections all this year. We're going to have more in August. Those primary elections have been conducted under this system that the president said is catastrophically vulnerable. Yet he and all Republicans and Democrats have accepted the elections, the results of those primaries."
Ossoff: I expect tonight's speech to be equal parts pathetic and dangerous.
I think we will hear from the world's most famous sore loser, a primetime presidential sour grapes address, reheating debunked conspiracy theories about an election in which he was soundly defeated.
🇦🇷🗣️ Lionel Messi on the media and those claiming Argentina are being “favoured” by FIFA:
“No... What we've achieved is unbelievable. Five finals in a row, two consecutive World Cup finals... We've been the BEST team over the last four years.
Whatever people say, this team has proven its worth on the pitch. NO ONE GIVES US ANYTHING FOR FREE.
We played with pride, with heart, with good football... We pulled off an incredible comeback. I'm happy and proud.” 🙌
The most sober, terrifying thing I can say as a Trump presidential historian is that what happened tonight was not about you, me, or America.
He's going to do what he's going to do based on how he convinces *himself* to do it.
Nothing else matters. He's not listening to anyone.
Donald Trump is a feeble, unhinged conspiracy-peddling 80-year old failed President.
The economy is a disaster under this guy and the American people know it.
Pathetic.
🚨BOMBSHELL: Ahead of Trump’s speech, Hakeem Jeffries just issued a direct call to Americans ahead of November.
“The one regime change that we need to bring about is throw MAGA extremists out of the Congress in November.”
The midterms are about to become a political earthquake.
Whenever Donald Trump is losing, he reaches for the same playbook:
Relitigate the 2020 election, spread debunked conspiracy theories, and try to convince Americans they can't trust the next election.
We gotta call it out.
Donald Trump and his administration have done nothing to bring down the cost of housing, health care, child care, food, or gas. Donald Trump and his administration got America into a war the people do not want.
He is attempting to distract you from that reality.
Warner: "As an American, I'm embarrassed ... we gotta decide whether we can keep our republic. And if we simply blow this off as another Donald Trump rant, we do that at our own peril"
