“President Trump by every metric won this election!” he bellowed from the podium to cheers from a crowd of thousands of the president’s supporters in Washington D.C.
“That’s why the corporate media including Fox News will not let anybody on to show the proven fraud in Pennsylvania, in Michigan, in Arizona, in Georgia, in Nevada and in Minnesota,” he added, before expanding the list of collaborators to include “paedophile globalists” and “Clinton blackmail rings.”
It is perhaps fitting that America’s most infamous conspiracy theorist is stumping again for Donald Trump. In the week since his election loss, the president appears to have all but abandoned the job of governing to focus on spreading false and debunked stories about voter fraud to explain his defeat.
The “Million MAGA March”, featuring Jones as one of the key speakers, was called to lend support to the president’s unsubstantiated claims of a rigged election. Tens of thousands turned out in the capital with signs reading “Stop the steal” and “Stop deepstate fraud now,” marching from Freedom Plaza to the Supreme Court.
And as night fell, the rally saw clashes at the edges, between counter-protesters and the Trump supporters – with at least one stabbing and 20 arrests. The president turned to twitter, railing against the “ANTIFA SCUM”, and urging the DC police to not “hold back.”
