It is laughable at best to think that Republicans are suddenly concerned about election security when they have blocked election security-related bills for years – and even this year ahead of the presidential election. Donald Trump and his colleagues are once again claiming that massive voter fraud took place as they try to overturn the election that President-elect Joe Biden secured. And in 2018, Trump’s own committee on voter fraud came up empty and was disbanded.
On Twitter, Donald Trump announced that his lawyers would hold a news conference Thursday to describe a “viable path” to challenge Joe Biden’s victory even as the campaign has provided no evidence. Trump’s lawyer Rudy Giuliani, who has made repeated baseless claims that the Nov. 3 election was rigged, came to the podium and appeared to be very nervous. He kept wiping sweat off his face. And at one point, the former NYC mayor appeared to have hair dye sweating down his face. This happened before he brought up George Soros and before he claimed that votes are counted outside of the United States.

Oh, dear:
With hair-dyed sweat dripping down both sides of his face, Rudy Guiliani says: “This is real, it is not made up, there’s nobody here that engages in fantasies.” pic.twitter.com/GwoINJ8ymk

At one point during the press conference, Giuliani referred to president-elect Joe Biden as a “crook” and condemned the press for reporting that he has no evidence of widespread fraud — even though he has provided no evidence of widespread voter fraud.
Giuliani’s team walked into the briefing room without wearing protective face masks amid the raging pandemic that has brought this country to a standstill. It’s almost criminal that Giuliani is trying to overturn an election while sowing doubt in our country as he stumbles to the podium without wearing a mask. What a nightmare.
