White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer dug in Tuesday on President Trump’s claim to congressional leaders that he lost the popular vote to Hillary Clinton last November because between 3 million and 5 million "illegals" cast ballots – even as House Speaker Paul Ryan pushed back.
Zero evidence has been put forth to support the widely parroted claim that 3 million "illegal aliens" voted in the 2016 presidential election.
Three million non-citzens voted illegally in the 2016 presidential election.
Klamath Falls, OR-- What is it going to take for this president to get into his head that there has been no illegals voting, less well 3-5 million as he is claiming? He keeps claiming this nonsense without providing any proof. His Press Secretary keeps claiming these same "Alternative Facts" without any proof. The president has an ego problem, and cannot handle the fact, that he lost the popular vote. He needs to get over it, and move on, before he keeps making an even bigger fool of himself, than he already has.
Trump tells Congressional leaders 3-5 million 'illegals' cost him popular vote
Donald Trump claimed at a meeting with congressional leaders Monday that he lost the popular vote to Hillary Clinton in last November's election because between three million and five million "illegals" cast ballots, multiple sources told Fox News.
It is not the first time Trump has made the unverified claims about illegal immigrants casting votes for Clinton, the Democratic nominee. In late November, Trump tweeted that he had "won the popular vote if you deduct the millions of people who voted illegally." At the time, multiple law enforcement sources told Fox News that there was no evidence for Trump's claims.
The claim is not supported by any verifiable facts, and analyses of the election found virtually no confirmed cases of voter fraud, let alone millions.
Clinton won the popular vote by more than 2.8 million votes. Trump won 304 electoral college votes to Clinton's 227.
More Americans voted for Hillary Clinton than any other losing presidential candidate in US history.
The Democrat outpaced Donald Trump by almost 2.9 million votes, with 65,844,954 (48.2%) to his 62,979,879 (46.1%), according to revised and certified final election results from all 50 states and the District of Columbia.
Clinton's 2.1% margin ranks third among defeated candidates, according to statistics from US Elections Atlas. Andrew Jackson won by more than 10% in 1824 but was denied the presidency, which went to John Quincy Adams. In 1876, Samuel Tilden received 3% more votes than Rutherford B. Hayes, who eventually triumphed by one electoral vote.
This wacko needs to come to grips with reality and that is the fact that he lost the popular vote and get over it. The same way the rest of us have been demanded to get over this illegal president; due to Russian interference.
