Donald Trump cited Vladimir Putin as an authority on the 2020 U.S. presidential election and false claims of voter fraud.

Russia has held rigged elections throughout Putin’s quarter-century reign as Russia’s dictator.

Trump has long claimed that the contest was rigged against him. After losing in 2020, he spent two months trying to overturn the results and ultimately inspired a deadly riot at the Capitol. He repeated those claims in an interview on Fox News with Sean Hannity on Friday, shortly after meeting with Putin in Alaska to discuss a potential end to Russia’s war in Ukraine.

    But no comments about 2024? So he’s saying that when he was president, there was lots of fraud, but when Biden was president, there wasn’t?

      Hey! This is a no logic zone. You are just supposed to be outraged, you aren’t supposed to think it through. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
