Donald Trump continues to try to invalidate the 2020 presidential election result won by Joe Biden. The American political class on Sunday strongly condemned a previous day’s call by the former President to abandon the American Constitution. Donald Trump reiterated his unsubstantiated allegations of massive voter fraud, saying on his network Truth Social on Saturday that “fraud of this nature and magnitude allows for the repeal of all rules, regulations and articles, including those of the Constitution.”
Words immediately condemned by the White House. “The United States Constitution is an untouchable document that, for two hundred years, has guaranteed that liberty and the rule of law shall prevail in our beautiful country,” Executive Branch Spokesman Andrew Bates said in a statement on Saturday.
Trump is ‘out of control’
“The attack on the constitution and all it stands for is anathema to the soul of our country and must be condemned,” he added. You can only love America if you win. On Sunday, elected officials from both parties expressed insult at the words of the former president, who also recently announced that he wants to run in the 2024 presidential election.
“Last week he had dinner with anti-Semites. Now he’s calling for an end to constitutional democracy in America,” Senate Democrat leader Chuck Schumer tweeted about a dinner at Donald Trump’s Florida residence attended by white supremacist Nick Fuentes and notorious Holocaust denier. Donald Trump “is out of control and a threat to our democracy. Everyone must condemn this attack on our democracy,” added Chuck Schumer.
The “Real Conservatives”
When asked about Donald Trump’s statements on Fox News, ex-Vice President Mike Pence, who has nevertheless distanced himself from the American billionaire since the attack on the Capitol on January 6, 2021, waived a conviction. “Candidates who focused on the past, particularly those who focused on challenging the last election, did not do well in last month’s midterm elections,” he said, simply calling back.
Donald Trump’s former national security adviser, the very conservative John Bolton, was offended by his former boss’ proposal. “All true conservatives must oppose his campaign for the 2024 presidential election,” he tweeted.
