Showing Original Post only (View all)Lindsey Graham: 'I am Begging the President' to Stop Saying Millions of People Voted Illegally [View all]
Source: Mediaite
It was reported last night that President Donald Trump revived an unsubstantiated and unproven claim that millions of people illegally voted in the presidential election. He did this during a meeting with Congressional leaders, spending the first ten minutes of the meeting rehashing the campaign and using the claim as a way to prove he didnt legitimately lose the national popular vote.
In response to Trump bringing this back up while speaking to members of Congress, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) delivered a statement begging POTUS to with share information he has to back his comments or stop making these remarks.

Sen Graham (R-SC) really wants Pres Trump to stop taking about inaccurate claims of millions of illegal voters voting in the #2016 election:
Following reports of his comments, the New York Times [link:http://www.mediaite.com/online/new-york-times-ratchets-up-war-with-trump-by-once-again-calling-out-his-lies/ratcheted up] its war with Trump by stating that he lied in its headline. Meanwhile, the Washington Post [link:https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/fact-checker/wp/2017/01/24/recidivism-watch-trumps-claim-that-3-5-million-people-voted-illegally-in-the-election/?utm_term.2a1e0ce44c70fact-checked him again], placing him on their Recidivism Watch for resurrecting the false claim.
