Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) on Tuesday shot down President Donald Trump’s repeated claims that millions of “illegal” votes cost him the popular vote in the 2016 election.
“There’s no evidence that enough votes were stolen to change the outcome of the election,” McConnell said in an interview taped Tuesday for MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.”
However, McConnell told Joe Scarborough that he believes voter fraud is an issue, even if it is not widespread.
“I do want to point out, Joe, though, the democratic myth that voter fraud is a fiction is not true. We have had a series of significant cases in Kentucky over the years. There is voter fraud in the country. So the notion that something, for example, like photo I.D. at the polls is an effort to suppress the vote is patently absurd,” he said. “But there’s no evidence that there was significant enough voter fraud to affect the outcome of the presidential election.”
Cue the Twitrage from Trump. The Turtle will be the next target.
Then by all means let’s spend millions in voter ID laws all over the United States, you fucking wanker.
(I’m running out of curse words)
Edit:
Also, please define “significant.”
Nope, but there is evidence that voter suppression did. And will.
Oh FFS
Not “There was no voter fraud”
Just no evidence it changed the election.
Is there a sleazier politician on he planet?
I hate him with incandescent rage.
What voter fraud in KY? We show photo ID here to vote. Only fraud he’s talking about in KY is how the F he gets reelected.
