In Florida, on Friday, July 26th, Turning Point Action, a conservative Christian organization, hosted a “Believer’s Summit” rally for Donald Trump. He spoke to the crowd, indicating if he were to be voted back in to the White House, "everything" about elections would be "fixed.”
"Christians, get out and vote, just this time. You won’t have to do it anymore. Four more years, you know what, it will be fixed, it will be fine. You won’t have to vote anymore, my beautiful Christians," Trump stated. “You’ve got to get out and vote. In four years, you don’t have to vote again, we’ll have it fixed so good you’re not going to have to vote.”
Uh-oh, that doesn’t sound democratic at all!
On Sunday, July 28th, Gov. Chris Sununu (R-NH) was interviewed by Martha Raddatz on ABC’s This Week, and she brought up that troubling part of Trump’s speech. Sununu poo-pooed the alarming statement as just “classic Trumpism” rhetoric. He felt the word “fixed” could be construed to mean the nation could be “improved” or “repaired.”
Trying to soothe feelings of fear and anxiety, Sununu continued by stating, “Obviously we want everybody to vote in all elections, but I think he was just trying to make a hyberbolic point that it can be fixed as long as he gets back into office and all that.”
Sure, Chris. Still defending a man who (allegedly) incited an unsuccessful coup after he legally lost the LAST election!
In response to Trump’s remarks on Friday, the Harris campaign stated, “When Vice President Harris says this election is about freedom, she means it.”
