Outgoing president Donald Trump is pulling out all the stops to stay in power with his continuous push for voter fraud. Utah Senator Mitt Romney recently criticized Trump again for his attempts to overturn the elections.
Speaking to CNN over the weekend, Romney weighed in on Trump’s constant attempts to insist the election was rigged despite the claims being widely refuted. Romney was among the few congressional Republicans to have congratulated Joe Biden in his election victory, which has since been confirmed by the Electoral College. The Utah lawmaker also touched on Michael Flynn’s suggestions of declaring martial law and Trump’s possible appointment of conspiracy theorist Sidney Powell as special counsel.
“It’s not going to happen,” said Romney. “That’s going nowhere. I understand that the president is casting about trying to find some way to have a different result than the one that was delivered by the American people, but it’s really sad in a lot of respects and embarrassing. Because the president could right now be writing the last chapter of his administration with a victory lap in regards to the vaccine. After all, he pushed aggressively to get the vaccine developed and distributed that’s happening on a quick timeframe. He could be going out and championing this extraordinary success. Instead … this last chapter suggests what he is going to be known for.”
Romney is one of the Republicans who have since criticized Trump’s push to contest the election results. Trump and his allies have been largely unsuccessful as their lawsuits, including the filing that reached the Supreme Court, were dismissed. Some of the strongest dismissals of the lawsuits also happened to be from Trump-appointed judges or Republican judges.
With Trump continuing to allege election fraud or misconduct on Twitter, the social media platform has confirmed that Trump may no longer be able to use his account should he continue to allege said claims. Since the November elections, Twitter has had to flag a lot of Trump’s tweets alleging voter fraud conspiracies. Since Trump is still president, Twitter has only flagged down the tweets and provided actual context to the refuted claims. However, that may change after the inauguration on January 20, 2021, when Trump returns to being a private citizen.
