GOP Fully on Board with Trumps Big Lie. The host for this show is Tim Apicella. The guests are Jay Fidell and Winston Welch.

This week senior GOP House Minority Whip member, Steve Scalise could not bring himself to answer Fox News host Chris Wallace’s repeated question if the 2020 election was “stolen” from Donald Trump. The reason? House Representative Steve Scalise, Kevin McCarthy, Senator Mitch McConnell desperately avoid answering the obvious question because they live in fear of Donald Trump and his insistence that the 2020 election was stolen from him. Liz Cheney dared to not follow Trump’s talking points, and now she has been ousted from House GOP leadership roles. As mid-term elections are 13 months away, more denial of Trump’s loss and the January 6 storming of the Capital will play out as it was all a fabrication, despite what we all saw that day. The GOP will continue on their path of denial and gather energy and threaten the legitimacy of the 2022 election results. The Democrats must now realize that they can’t treat 2022 election as normal as nothing is normal in today’s politics.
