Trump Calls For “Major” Voter Fraud Investigation

January 25, 2017 Crackpots, Trump Lies

President Donald Trump called on Wednesday for “a major investigation” into voter fraud, following criticism his administration faced for comments the President made earlier this week alleging millions of illegal votes during the general election, without citing any evidence.

Trump’s comments on voter fraud came Monday during a meeting with congressional leaders. On Tuesday, Trump’s press secretary vigorously defended Trump’s statement about illegal voters, though neither Trump nor his surrogates could provide evidence that any substantial illegal voting had occurred or influence the popular vote.

Trump is doubtlessly responding to Jake Tapper’s withering opening to his show yesterday opening.

Congratulations to @FoxNews for being number one in inauguration ratings. They were many times higher than FAKE NEWS @CNN – public is smart!
