In brief, matter-of-fact statements, the White House's press secretary just confirmed that Donald Trump, and therefore the White House, "believes" millions of illegal votes were cast against him in the last election.
There are no such studies or evidence. It's fictitious. But not only did Spicer go along with it, he went further, attempting to defend it: One of the delusional follow-up assertions was that, according to Spicer, "14%" of votes cast in the 2008 elections "were illegal,” which is a lunatic claim scraped from the dregs of lunatic websites. He also said, in response to an incredulous reporter query, that further investigation of this massive, nationwide corruption of our elections “isn’t a priority” of the current administration. The White House is officially asserting that our federal elections are corrupted on a grand and national scale, based on nothing—and requiring no further action.
This is insane. This is beyond fake news promulgated from cheap, one-off eastern European websites, this is delusion being spouted from the White House podium as the official executive branch stance. This isn't just lying about crowd size in an inauguration, now the White House position is that our entire national election system is suspect because Donald Trump didn't get as many votes as he, as new leader, thought he deserved.
This is propaganda. It's overt, and being apparently done either as pretext towards restricting voting rights or merely because the mental incapacities of the current leader require his staff to declare more pleasing realities in order to placate him.
Donald Trump is mentally ill, and Sean Spicer is covering for him by lying to all of America. This is lunacy. Forget asking questions, the reporters in the room should be summoning doctors and mental health experts.
