Obama: ā€˜No Actual Evidenceā€™ Anything Illegal, Fraudulent Took Place in Election ā€” Trump Has Shown ā€˜Flimsy Relationshipā€™ to the Truth

 

During an hour-long special to promote his recently released book ā€œA Promised Land,ā€ former President Barack Obama dismissed suggestions that anything inappropriate had taken place in the presidential election earlier this month.

 

He called those allegations ā€œbald assertionsā€ and took a jab at his successor, President Donald Trump.

 

ā€œLook, Joe Bidenā€™s going to be the next president of the United States,ā€ he said. ā€œKamala Harris will be the next vice president. I have been troubled like I think every American, whether youā€™re a Republican or Democrat or Independent, should be troubled, when you start having attempts to block, negate, overturn the peopleā€™s vote when thereā€™s no actual evidence that there was anything illegal or fraudulent taking place.ā€

 

ā€œThese are just bald assertions,ā€ Obama continued. ā€œTheyā€™ve been repeatedly rejected by the courts. And I think Iā€™m less surprised by Donald Trump doing this. You know, he has shown only a flimsy relationship to the truth. Iā€™m more troubled that youā€™re seeing a lot of Republican officials go along with it, not because they actually believe it, but because they feel intimidated by it, and the degree to which youā€™ve seen some news outlets that cater to the right and the conservative viewpoint somehow try to prop up these bogus claims.ā€
