In Barack Obama’s latest interview with 60 Minutes, he gave his opinion on how Trump should be dealing with his loss.
And he didn’t hold back in the slightest!
And we all know that this isn’t exactly something that former presidents typically do!
And for a very big reason.
Just hours before calling Trump out for refusing to congratulate Biden, Obama caused a stir online for claiming Trump’s “election fraud” claims were phony.
And it caused a giant reaction from both sides online…
Because as you will all be aware, the president suffered a colossal loss to his Democratic opponent, Joe Biden, for this year’s presidential election.
The evidence has shown that he has resorted to downright denying the election and its results.
As the counts went underway, he tried to temporarily stop vote-counting in Michigan and Pennsylvania, States where Joe Biden was projected to win.
The Associated Press called the race for Biden when Pennsylvania’s twenty electoral votes put him over the 270-vote threshold needed to win the Electoral College.
Though the president is a historically sore loser – he’s very rarely had to admit defeat ever in his life – and has long made wild accusations against the Biden campaign team, people simply cannot believe his refusal to accept what has happened.
In which he accused Biden and his team of rigging the entire election. As per Sky News, the statement read:
“We all know why Joe Biden is rushing to falsely pose as the winner, and why his media allies are trying so hard to help him: they don’t want the truth to be exposed.
“The simple fact is this election is far from over. Joe Biden has not been certified as the winner of any states, let alone any of the highly contested states headed for mandatory recounts, or states where our campaign has valid and legitimate legal challenges that could determine the ultimate victor.
“In Pennsylvania, for example, our legal observers were not permitted meaningful access to watch the counting process. Legal votes decide who is president, not the news media.”
In his rage, Trump took to the social media platform to dispute the result further, insisting that he was the one to have won.
And proudly Tweeted that he received a record-breaking number of votes.
Trump seems set on the idea that Biden and his team rigged the entire election to play out in their favor, and made strong hints that something happened in the counting rooms that had “never happened before.”
And Trump is somehow determined to prove that there has been something fishy going on all throughout the elections.
But will he have the support of the American people?
The former president decided to speak out on the current issue of “voter fraud” during an interview with 60 Minutes in which he told Scott Pelley that he’s deeply troubled by Republicans that believe Trump.
He emphasized that it was concerning that they would go along with his unfounded claims of election fraud, putting democracy on a “dangerous path.”
“I’m more troubled by the fact that other Republican officials who clearly know better are going along with this, are humoring him in this fashion. It is one more step in delegitimizing not just the incoming Biden administration, but democracy generally. And that’s a dangerous path.”
“My advice to President Trump is, if you want at this late stage in the game to be remembered as somebody who put country first, it’s time for you to do the same thing,” he continued.
He said: “It is, absolutely. I think it was time for him to concede probably the day after the election.”
