Pro-Trump Fox Pundit: ‘Huge Mistake’ to Claim Election Fraud and Declare False Victory
Pro-Trump Fox News contributor Marc Thiessen on Wednesday afternoon joined a growing chorus of conservatives criticizing President Donald Trump’s premature claim of electoral victory and unfounded cries of election fraud, saying it is a “huge mistake” that hurts the president’s credibility.
During the wee hours of Wednesday morning, the president delivered a bombastic speech—picked up by all the networks—in which he declared that he “did win this election” while raging over the numerous battleground states still in play, accusing Democrats of stealing the election.
Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden, meanwhile, re-emerged as the favorite to capture the 270 electoral votes as early mail-in votes were tallied on Wednesday, causing the president to lash out and call for the Supreme Court to step in.
