Washington, D.C.–Tonight, President of Correct The Record Brad Woodhouse released the following statement after Donald Trump’s Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania rally.
“This was a fitting end to the day when the Speaker of the House said he would no longer defend Donald Trump, and Trump responded maturely by tweeting an insult back at him. Donald Trump peddled dangerous conspiracy theories about voter fraud in Philadelphia and stoked ire against the ‘dishonest’ media–lying about cameras being on and inspiring multiple ‘CNN sucks’ chants. He praised Putin’s hacking by confessing his love for WikiLeaks, sympathizing with the Russians who are trying to interfere with our democracy. Trump even called his social media staffer to the stage so he could read off unscientific online polls from Drudge and Breitbart to prove he ‘won’ last night’s debate. Keep living in your alternate reality, Donald.”
