LYING LIARS WHO WON’T STOP LYING: Sean Spicer Doubles Down On Trump’s Voter Fraud Claims [VIDEO]

The Hill reports:

President Trump stands by his belief that millions of people voted illegally in the 2016 presidential election, White House press secretary Sean Spicer said Tuesday. The spokesman doubled down on the false claim after the president raised it Monday night during a reception with congressional leaders.

“The president does believe that. He has stated that before,” Spicer told reporters at the daily press briefing on Tuesday afternoon. The spokesman stopped short of saying the claims are true.

“He continues to maintain that belief based on studies and evidence that people have presented to him.” Spicer would not cite which studies swayed Trump, but state officials and independent fact-checkers have dismissed the claim.

This is ludicrous and alarming. The White House is officially and falsely claiming that the election was tainted with massive fraud.
