SHOT/CHASER: Lara Trump Tries to Whitewash Donald Trump’s Election Denying Record… Even As He’s STILL Lying About the 2020 Election Arrow

In response to Lara Trump falsely claiming Donald Trump accepts election results, DNC Rapid Response Director Alex Floyd released the following statement:

"The American people are not falling for Lara Trump's sad and desperate attempts to whitewash Donald Trump's election denialism as he actively continues to push baseless lies about his loss by over 7 million votes in the 2020 election while refusing to commit to accepting this November's results. Trump is still the same dangerous election denier he always has been - and continues to make it clear that democracy is on the ballot in this election."

SHOT: RNC co-chair Lara Trump claimed that Donald Trump accepts election results…

Lara Trump: "It's pretty obvious that Donald Trump does accept election results, even despite the fact that it was a very questionable election in 2020."

CHASER: … even as Trump is still pushing baseless lies about his crushing loss by over 7 million votes in the 2020 election - and is laying the groundwork to challenge the next one.

Associated Press: "[Trump] is flooding the airwaves and his social media platform with distortions, misinformation and unfounded conspiracy theories about his defeat."

NBC News: "Re-litigating the 2020 election, repeating false claims it was stolen and casting aspersions on the security of mail voting remain major fixtures for [Trump] on the stump. … He regularly refers to the 2020 election as 'rigged' on his social media channels."

Associated Press: "Trump, running for the White House for the third time, has signaled that the 2020 election will remain an integral part of his 2024 presidential bid."

Donald Trump's takeover of the RNC has elevated ultra-MAGA extremists Lara Trump and Michael Whatley, who have pushed Trump's dangerous election denialism.

New York Times: "Mr. Trump likes Mr. Whatley for one overwhelming reason, according to people who have discussed him with the former president: He is 'a stop the steal guy,' as one of the people described him. He endorses Mr. Trump's false claims about mass voter fraud … Mr. Whatley has baselessly claimed that election security efforts from Republicans in North Carolina stopped Democrats from cheating."

Associated Press: "In pushing Michael Whatley as the next leader of the Republican National Committee, Donald Trump zeroed in on the North Carolina GOP chairman's dedication to 'election integrity,' baselessly suggesting he would ensure the 2024 race 'can't be stolen."

New York Times: "A self-described conspiracy theorist and election denier, Ms. Bobb will take on a role overseeing Republican election integrity efforts - after years of aggressively promoting false claims about the 2020 election. Her appointment reflects the ascendant role of election deniers in Republican leadership and in Mr. Trump's presidential campaign."

Trump continues to praise and embrace violent January 6 rioters - calling them "hostages" and "patriots" and vowing to pardon "a large portion" of those who attacked our Capitol.

​​Washington Post: ​​"Former president Donald Trump on Thursday praised and embraced a woman convicted of defying police orders on the U.S. Capitol grounds on Jan. 6, 2021. … Trump has steadily escalated his advocacy for people charged in the Capitol riot, including by pledging to pardon them if he returns to the White House, praising them as patriots, participating in a recording with Jan. 6 prisoners singing the national anthem, and playing it at his first rally of the 2024 campaign last month."
