How the Republican Party has learned to stop worrying and love "stolen" election statements
Speaking to
Republican voters before next month's primary election in her state,
Alabama Governor Kay Ivey released a new ad that briefly shows how
Donald Trump's false statements about the
2020 election are being used as weapons.
"Fake news, big technology and blue state liberals have stolen the election from President Trump," Ivey says in the video titled
"Stolen."
The claim that the election was stolen is unwarranted nonsense. But the specific wording of this, suggesting a conspiracy involving the machinations of these
long-hated elites, rather than some cadre of as yet unidentified poll workers and intriguers, is exactly how
non-Trump Republicans plan to appeal to voters who were convinced
Trump was the real winner.
