Donald Trump and his sons have been pushing a conspiracy theory that the election has been rigged and that the president should have already won the election by now.
“President Trump, his son and top members of his campaign on Wednesday advanced a set of unfounded conspiracy theories about the vote-tallying process to claim that Democrats were rigging the final count,” The Washington Post reported this week. “Eric Trump tweeted a video, first pushed out by an account associated with the far-right QAnon conspiracy theory, that purported to show someone burning ballots cast for his father. The materials turned out to be sample ballots, and Twitter quickly suspended the original account that circulated the misleading clip.”
“Trump’s son and others, including White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany, claimed falsely in tweets later hidden by warning labels that the president had won Pennsylvania — even though no such determination had been made,” the newspaper noted.
Despite Trump and his allies’ attempts to push a false conspiracy, Republicans have mostly shied away from the president.

Eric Trump, apparently, views it as a betrayal that the GOP is not going along with whatever Trump says, no matter how disconnected from reality it may be. And he seems to be hinting at retribution.
“Where is the GOP?!” Eric Trump wrote in a tweet that he since been deleted. “Our voters will never forget…”

His comments echo attacks on the Republican Party by his big brother, Donald Trump, Jr.
The total lack of action from virtually all of the “2024 GOP hopefuls” is pretty amazing.
They have a perfect platform to show that they’re willing & able to fight but they will cower to the media mob instead.
Don’t worry @realDonaldTrump will fight & they can watch as usual!
