Former President Donald Trump’s reaction Thursday to another powerful day of testimony before the select committee of the House investigating the U.S. Capitol riots was to demand the impossible again: evidence of a rigged presidential election.
“The only thing the Unselects do not discuss, in any way, form or form, is the irrefutable evidence of massive and totally widespread ELECTORAL FRAUD AND IRREGULARITIES that took place during the 2020 presidential election. They refuse to go there” , published.

It wasn’t talked about because it never happened. A litany of testimonies from former Justice Department officials on Thursday, and in previous sessions, refuted Trump’s “irrefutable” claims.
Trump appears to be ignoring hearing information in the same way he ignored responses from his Justice Department, several state officials and U.S. Attorney General William Barr: the allegations of a rigged election were unfounded. Several specific statements have been refuted in detail.
Trump insisted on Social Truth that it would be “impossible” for the Jan. 6 hearing to “refute or question what would be presented to them.” To those not selected, I ask them, WE PUT THE EVIDENCE STATE BY STATE “.
Neither he nor his supporters have offered any such evidence.
Arizona House Speaker Rusty Bowers (R) said Tuesday that Trump’s attorney, Rudy Giuliani, asked him to call for election votes because “200,000 illegal immigrants” and more than 5,000 “dead” “voted for the state. Bowers told Giuliani he wanted names and was promised he would get them, he said. Despite repeated requests, he was never given a single name, Bowers said.
Last week, Trump told Social Truth that the “Selection Committee refuses to debate election results, the reason for the Jan. 6 mass crowd, because they can’t.”
In a separate post Thursday, Trump asked, “What about the massive stuffing of ballot boxes showing … the highly respected and credible Patriots of Truth (2000 Mules).” He was referring to a discredited “documentary,” which sparked a mocking laugh from the former attorney general during Barr’s testimony.
The story goes on
“I guess the unselected are okay? What lies!” Trump added to his message.
