Reacting to the Supreme Court’s devastating blow to Donald Trump’s long-shot bid to invalidate President-elect Joe Biden’s victory, the outgoing president launched into an extended tirade on Tuesday, repeatedly tweeting on court cases and claiming the rejected SCOTUS case was “not my case.”
The Supreme Court rejected a request from Pennsylvania Republicans to block certification of the state’s election results.
“This was not my case as has been so incorrectly reported. The case that everyone has been waiting for is the State’s case with Texas and numerous others joining. It is very strong, ALL CRITERIA MET. How can you have a presidency when a vast majority think the election was RIGGED?” Trump tweeted.
Trump is likely referring to Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton who filed a brash and sweeping complaint Tuesday that asked the court to overturn Biden’s wins in the swing states of Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin and Georgia.
“We will be INTERVENING in the Texas (plus many other states) case. This is the big one. Our Country needs a victory!” Trump wrote Wednesday.
He also tweeted “RIGGED ELECTION!” and “OVERTURN!” in a direct message to the Supreme Court. Take a look at some highlights below.

No candidate has ever won both Florida and Ohio and lost. I won them both, by a lot! #SupremeCourt

There is massive evidence of widespread fraud in the four states (plus) mentioned in the Texas suit. Just look at all of the tapes and affidavits!

We will soon be learning about the word “courage”, and saving our Country. I received hundreds of thousands of legal votes more, in all of the Swing States, than did my opponent. ALL Data taken after the vote says that it was impossible for me to lose, unless FIXED!
