Hannity: ‘Depraved’ media mob can save their ‘phony BS lectures’ about election results

The same “depraved media mob” who refused to accept the results of the 2016 election are attacking President Trump and his supporters for questioning irregularities and investigating voter fraud allegations, Sean Hannity said Monday. 

“We, frankly, don’t need lectures about truth, about integrity, from what is a depraved group of Democratic donors, the media mob, and Democrats that never accepted the results of 2016 election,” the “Hannity” host said.

The Fox News primetime host reminded viewers that President-elect Joe Biden was “shielded” by the mainstream media, who enabled him to hide from the coronavirus in his basement for most of the campaign. By contrast, Hannity went on, the same group “were Biden’s attack dogs [and] did the bludgeoning of Trump for Biden.”

HANNITY: ‘WHAT THE HELL IS HAPPENING IN GEORGIA?’

“The sanctimonious, high-minded, phony concern all of a sudden about American democracy — I don’t care what they think,” Hannity

In First Post-Election TV Interview, Trump Suggests Will Never Accept He Lost Election

President Donald Trump keeps criticizing Fox News lately, and even told his followers not to watch the network recently, but on Sunday he basically took over the show Sunday Morning Futures with Maria Bartiromo. In the 46-minute phone interview, his first since the election, Trump makes clear he’s not going to concede by going as far as to suggest he won’t ever accept he lost the election to Joe Biden. Without receiving any sort of pushback for his claims, Trump went on a long tirade, repeating over and over again his baseless claim there was widespread voter fraud in the election even as his team keeps losing legal cases.

Trump hits Big Tech, media as ‘massively powerful,’ ‘massively corrupt’ in first interview since Election Day

President Trump reacts to the media and Big Tech’s role in politics in a ‘Sunday Morning Futures’ exclusive.

President Trump once again railed against Big Tech and the media for controlling the narrative and failing to investigate what he calls massive voter fraud, in his first interview since Election Day.

Trump said in his phone interview with FOX Business’ “Sunday Morning Futures” that host Maria Bartiromo was “brave” for speaking with him on-air, arguing most media doesn’t want to cover the massive fraud he says took place across the country to award Joe Biden over 80 million votes.

Trump received over 74 million votes in the 2020 election – he won in 2016 with nearly 63 million.

“The media” is a blanket term that covers everything from social media to 24-hour TV networks to traditional newspapers like our own. 

Despite the catch-all nature of the plural phrase, consumers can treat news outlets as though they are singular, particularly if they disagree with the news as it’s reported.

Chinese President Xi Jinping Finally Congratulates Biden On U.S. Election Win

Topline

Chinese President Xi Jinping congratulated President-elect Joe Biden for winning the U.S. election Wednesday, according to state media outlet Xinhua, after weeks of holding off as one of the only major world leaders not to acknowledge the Democrat’s victory. 

Key Facts

While China’s foreign ministry offered brief congratulations to Biden on November 13, Xi has demurred, as President Donald Trump has engaged in an ultimately fruitless legal campaign to overturn the results of the election. 

In the message to Biden, Xi said that “promoting the healthy and stable development of China-US relations” is in the interests of both parties and the expectation of the international community. 

Xi said he hopes both countries will continue to “uphold the spirit of non-conflict, non-confrontation, mutual respect and win-win cooperation,” and focus on

Trump carries on fight to overturn Pennsylvania’s election even as his administration green-lights Biden transition

President Donald Trump’s campaign on Monday took its fight to block Pennsylvania from certifying its election results to a federal appeals court, even as his administration agreed to let government agencies prepare for the transition to Joe Biden’s administration.

The long-shot legal motion before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit came two days after a federal judge issued a scathing ruling that dismissed the campaign’s effort to block the state from certifying its results, which show that Biden won the state.

Trump’s lawyers sought the delay to give them more time to find evidence of a fraudulent election system and improper ballot counting. District Court Judge Matthew Brann ruled on Saturday that they had failed to provide “compelling legal arguments and factual proof of rampant corruption.”

Laura Cox, the chair of the Michigan Republican Party, and Ronna McDaniel, the chair of the Republican National Committee, sent a letter Saturday to the Michigan’s State Board of Canvassers to “adjourn for 14 days” to allow an audit of Wayne County’s election results. Despite multiple lawsuits and claims from President Donald Trump’s campaign alleging widespread fraud in Michigan and Wayne County, no evidence has emerged.

“Enough, already. The fanciful conspiracy theories have been debunked,” the editorial board of the Detroit Free Press

In scathing ruling, judge dismisses Trump campaign’s effort to overturn election results in Pennsylvania

A Pennsylvania federal court on Saturday denied President Donald Trump’s request to block certification of the state’s election results to give his lawyers time to find evidence to support their claims of a fraudulent election system and improper ballot counting.

In a scathing ruling, U.S. District Court Judge Matthew Brann criticized the Trump campaign’s lack of evidence to support its argument to potentially disenfranchise every voter in the commonwealth who cast a ballot  – nearly 7 million.

FBI Investigating Threats Against Georgia Election Officials

Topline

The Federal Bureau Of Investigation and Georgia law enforcement are looking into threats against Georgia’s top election officials, Deputy Secretary of State Jordan Fuchs announced Sunday, as election workers across the country complain President Trump’s baseless voter fraud accusations are putting them at risk. 

Key Facts

The FBI and the Georgia Bureau of Investigations (GBI) are investigating threats against Secretary of State Brad Raffesnperger and his team, Fuchs said Sunday, though he did not specify the exact threats and did not immediately respond to Forbes’ request for comment. 

On Saturday, Georgia’s voting system manager Gabriel Sterling wrote on Twitter that he’s been the subject of “multiple attempted” email hacks, and has police protection around his home.

“So this is fun,” he wrote sarcastically, adding: “But all is well … following the law, following the process … doing our jobs.”

  • Fox News correspondent Geraldo Rivera has suggested naming the COVID-19 vaccine ‘The Trump’ to soften his election blow. 
  • He said: “With the world so divided and everybody telling him he’s got to give up and it’s time to leave and time to transition and all the rest of it, why not name the vaccine ‘The Trump?'”
  • The comments came after the president falsely took credit for Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine, which was found to be 95% effective.
  • Pfizer has not accepted any government money to develop, test, or expand manufacturing capacity, however.
  • Earlier this month, Rivera tweeted that it would soon be time for Trump to “say goodbye with grace & dignity.”
