Brian Stelter: Election Denial Is Like a ‘Middle Finger’ To Democracy

‘A rude gesture to the left’
By Grabien Staff

EXCERPT:

STELTER: "Feel? Facts do not care about your feelings. That’s what conservative commentator Ben Shapiro famously said several years ago. And it’s still true today. The facts are the facts. Biden’s win is being certified. And Lara Trump is wrong, by the way, to say that every Trump voter feels that this thing was rigged. Not every Trump voter does. But 77% of Americans who backed Trump did tell pollsters from Monmouth that they believe voter fraud tipped the scales for Biden. This conspiracy crap is just like Trump's anti-media 'enemy of the people' smear. It's a slow-acting poison that is crippling the American body politic. Election denialism is like a middle finger to democracy, in the same way that Rich Lowry said that a vote for Trump was like a middle finger, a rude gesture to the left. But it’s something else too. It’s tribal. It’s entertaining, almost like a sporting event.”
