Speaker of the House Mike Johnson Continues to Push Election Lies and Immigration Fearmongering

In a recent meeting at Mar-a-Lago, Speaker of the House Mike Johnson joined forces with Donald Trump to push for new legislation restricting noncitizen voting, perpetuating the false narrative that immigrants are illegally registering to vote in the United States. This is just one of the many lies that Trump and his allies continue to spread, despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary.

Here are some of the lies highlighted in the article:

– Johnson and Trump falsely claim that huge numbers of immigrants are entering the U.S. illegally and registering to vote, perpetuating the white supremacist “Great Replacement” theory.
– Trump has repeatedly stated that mail-in voting is corrupt and fraudulent, discouraging his supporters from utilizing this convenient and secure method of voting.
– Polls show that as many as 70 percent of Republicans believe Trump was the true winner of the 2020 election, despite all evidence to the contrary.
– The Republican Party continues to nominate election deniers as candidates, alienating independent and moderate voters necessary for winning elections.

These lies and the perpetuation of election denialism by Trump and his allies pose a significant threat to American democracy. By sowing doubt in the electoral process and convincing their supporters that any election they don’t win is fraudulent, they undermine the foundation of free and fair elections. This narcissistic lying not only erodes trust in the democratic process but also creates a dangerous precedent where the truth is sacrificed for political gain.
