One of Donald Trump’s lawyers appeared to accidentally admit that the former president may have engaged in insurrection.
Christina Bobb, a vocal 2020 election denier, tried to argue Tuesday night that voters should be able to elect anyone they want for president.
“The president is elected by the entire nation, and it should be the entire nation who determines who they want for president, whether they are guilty of insurrection or not,” Bobb said during an interview on Real America’s Voice. “It’s up to the people.”
Bobb seems to be arguing that even an insurrectionist should be allowed to run the country, which could be seen as an admission of guilt.
Did you just admit you’re guilty of insurrection?
“The president is elected by the entire nation, and it should be the entire nation who determines who they want for president, whether they are guilty of insurrection or not,” Bobb said during an interview on Real America’s Voice. “It’s up to the people.”
When was the last time a Republican won the popular vote?
2004, Bush’s second term. Which, electorally speaking, wasn’t that long ago.
Of course the 2016 and 2000 elections both saw Republican candidates win the presidency, but not the popular vote.
The 2000 election is also special since it came down to a judicial decision and was a 0.5% difference.
The 2016 election however is more clear, since it was a 2% difference.
Also keep in mind this had never happened before. So 2000 was when we should have started to take action, but since every election after (until 2016) it went back to normal, it made 2000 look like an outlier.
Which is all a long was of saying https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Popular_Vote_Interstate_Compact is probably the answer here.
“The president is elected by the entire nation, and it should be the entire nation who determines who they want for president…"
Hmm yes please, lets abolish the electoral college so that presidents are in fact decided by the entire nation collectively and equally!
Never thought i would agree with a Trump lawyer…
Again, they are no longer arguing that he didn’t do it. They are arguing that he should face any ramifications for it.
Hey look, it’s narcissism:
That didn’t happen.
And if it did, it wasn’t that bad.
And if it was, that’s not a big deal.
And if it is, that’s not my fault.
And if it was, I didn’t mean it.
And if I did, you deserved it.
