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.

    There were a few regulars on Denver Post’s comment section who kept harping on how we need to end voting by mail. And this is in Colorado, which has had it for years and years and years.

    I swear they were probably paid…by some conservative/Republican outfit or by some foreign agency. They’d spew the same bullshit, trying to sow doubt in the heads of normies.

    More than a few times I thought about trying to talk to the mods at DP about having their disinfo taken down and ideally ban these individuals, but I’m pretty sure at least a few of the mods there were more than receptive to fascist bullshit.
