Trump made these false claims without evidence. (Photo: AFP/Timothy A. Clary)
In a stunningly dishonest and brazen speech from the White House Thursday evening, President Trump falsely claimed that a secret cabal of Democratic voters and election officials was stealing the 2020 election from him. As he spoke, former Vice President Joe Biden was steadily approaching the 270 electoral college votes he needed to be elected President.
The President screaming that the polls and voting were fraudulent--without any evidence of fraud--was the political equivalent of someone falsely screaming "Fire!" in a crowded movie theater.
Donald Trump’s attacks on democracy, justice, and a free press are escalating — putting everything we stand for at risk. We believe a better world is possible, but we can’t get there without your support. Common Dreams stands apart. We answer only to you — our readers, activists, and changemakers — not to billionaires or corporations. Our independence allows us to cover the vital stories that others won’t, spotlighting movements for peace, equality, and human rights. Right now, our work faces unprecedented challenges. Misinformation is spreading, journalists are under attack, and financial pressures are mounting. As a reader-supported, nonprofit newsroom, your support is crucial to keep this journalism alive. Whatever you can give — $10, $25, or $100 — helps us stay strong and responsive when the world needs us most. Together, we’ll continue to build the independent, courageous journalism our movement relies on. Thank you for being part of this community. |
