Politics California Karoline Leavitt voting
Karoline Leavitt accused California of holding fraudulent elections, without providing a scrap of evidence (other than her hurt feelings)
Karoline Leavitt was back up at her bully pulpit spitting out lies at the White House yesterday.
Leading into the first major elections of Donald Trump’s second term, Leavitt was preparing for the worst. (Spoiler alert: it was exactly as bad as Magas feared.) The White House Press Secretary braced for impact by publicly proclaiming that it’s a known fact that the results of a California election cannot be trusted.
LEAVITT: It's absolutely true that there's fraud in California's elections.
REPORTER: What's the evidence of that?
LEAVITT: It's just a fact.

“Because I said so,” feels a little more like an elementary school playground argument than the official stance of the White House on an issue as important as voter fraud in one of its most influential states.
The internet called B.S.

Facts come with evidence, Karoline. That’s what makes them facts.

Belief in something without evidence is so very MAGA.

Claiming fraud without any evidence is in fact fraud itself

I’m just surprised that the reporter actually asked the question. I’m not surprised by her response.

Typical 21st century Republican. "I don't need no stinking 'evidence'! I just know it's true. It's obvious! Fuck off with your 'education' libtard!!!"

It’s just a fact is not an acceptable answer.
It’s just an assertion.
Facts can be substantiated. She should substantiate her claim.
