The twice-impeached former president, however, suggested a “minimum solution” if he doesn’t immediately return to the White House: Declare the 2020 vote “irretrievably compromised” and hold a new one “immediately.” In recent days, conservatives have latched onto Facebook chief Mark Zuckerberg’s remarks about the social platform’s handling of the Hunter Biden laptop story just before the 2020 election. Appearing on Joe Rogan’s podcast, Zuckerberg revealed that the Justice Department had warned Facebook to “be vigilant” about “Russian propaganda” in the run-up to the election. While Zuckerberg specifically said the feds didn’t flag the laptop as misinformation, he told Rogan that Facebook limited the reach of the New York Post’s Hunter Biden story in the news for a few days as fact-checkers determined whether it was true. Unlike Twitter, however, Facebook users were free to share the article on their pages. Additionally, a recent survey by the Technometrica Institute for Politics and Policy found that 79 percent of respondents believe Trump would likely have defeated President Joe Biden if voters had been told that the contents of the younger Biden’s laptop were authentic and not “Russian misinformation”. had been proposed by the intelligence community. Trump, who has repeatedly and falsely claimed that the 2020 presidential election was “stolen” due to widespread voter fraud, took to the troubled social media site Truth Social to reinforce this latest talking point. “So now it is proven, definitively, that the FBI buried the HUNTER BIDEN LAPTOP story BEFORE THE ELECTION knowing that if they didn’t, ‘Trump would have easily won the 2020 presidential election,’” the former president shouted. And he continued: “This is massive FRAUD & ELECTORAL INTERFERENCE on a level never seen before in our country. RESOLUTION: Declare the rightful winner or, at the very least, declare the 2020 Election irretrievably compromised and call a new election, immediately!” Earlier this year, longtime Trump ally and “Stop the Steal” advocate Rep. Mo Brooks (R-AL) revealed that the former president had privately pushed him to remove Biden from office, install Trump back in the White House House and to hold new special elections. Trump would eventually withdraw his endorsement of Brooks in the Alabama Senate race because she “woke up” telling Republicans to move on from the 2020 election. Meta, Facebook’s parent company, pointed out last week that “the FBI shared general warnings about foreign interference — nothing specific to Hunter Biden.” The agency, for its part, also said that while it provided companies with “foreign threat indicators to help them protect their platforms,” it “cannot request or direct companies to take action on the information received.” . Meanwhile, Trump’s latest fascist rant comes just a day after Trump reinforced top Sen. Lindsey Graham’s prediction that there would be “riots in the street” if the Justice Department charges the former president with mishandling classified information.
