Tapper : "The President leaning even harder into his deranged election lies ; will anyone in his administration or in his party on Capitol Hill stand up for the truth?"
⭕️ NEW: Colombian President Gustavo Petro has alleged that Israel interfered in Colombia’s presidential election, citing alleged irregularities in the country’s vote counting process and calling for a full audit and recount.
🔸With preliminary results showing 49.3% for Abelardo de la Espriella and 49% for Gustavo Bolívar Cepeda, Petro noted that neither candidate can be declared president until the official scrutiny process is completed, which under Colombia’s electoral system determines the final result.
🔸He cited changes to the national registry’s server IP addresses, which he said indicate the electoral software may have been compromised. Petro claimed that “the only entity in the world capable” of carrying out the alleged cyber interference is “the state of Israel.”
▪️His remarks come just weeks after French authorities linked the Israeli firm BlackCore to digital interference campaigns targeting elections featuring leftist candidates in France, Scotland, New York City, Angola, and Togo. French investigators have not identified who commissioned the operations.
Petro alleged several additional irregularities in posts on X, including:
🔹 Lawyers being blocked from entering the main vote counting center in Bogotá.
🔹 Unsigned E14 polling forms being uploaded by election authorities.
He called for:
🔹 An independent forensic audit of the electoral software.
🔹 A recount of all polling stations.
🔹 Judicial oversight of the scrutiny process.
🔸Petro also urged Colombians to remain calm and called for national dialogue regardless of the final outcome.

@kenvogel The Republican Party is beyond corrupt
They are unrecognizable from their quaint days of Watergate and Iran-Contra style corruption. They must be obliterated
