It’s becoming increasingly clear that “rigged” is going to be the Democrats’ excuse for many election losses, and Robert Francis “Beto” O’Rourke has joined others in declaring Stacey Abrams the rightful governor of Georgia:

A man from Georgia asked me what I will do about voting rights. That’s because, were it not for voter suppression, Stacey Abrams would be governor right now. We need a New Voting Rights Act, so every voice is heard and every vote is counted. pic.twitter.com/miXl7Xkq2n — Beto O'Rourke (@BetoORourke) September 6, 2019

Where’s the firefighting, fact-checking MSM on this? Anyone? Anyone?

There is zero evidence to suggest Abrams is the rightful winner of GA gov race. Its irresponsible to suggest otherwise. https://t.co/Bn2iOjkwR9 — Mark Hemingway (@Heminator) September 6, 2019

Our brave media will freak out over a sharpie mark but let this lie continue… I guess claiming that an election is rigged isn’t as dangerous as they pretended it to be https://t.co/OlL0DaOB6L — Bob Malak (@bob_malak) September 6, 2019

Biden on Colbert told a verifiable lie about holding cages for immigrant kids thst went unchecked The “Abrams is actually governor” conspiracy theory is promoted by presidential candidates and continues to go unchecked. Forklift operators on Facebook aren’t the problem. https://t.co/C7V2WAqZh8 — Stephen Miller (@redsteeze) September 6, 2019

Until recently such a claim was an absolute affront to “democracy,” according to some Dems:

I’m old enough to remember when Democrats said it was very dangerous to not accept election outcomes. https://t.co/f4KUBb6rrf — Frank Luntz (@FrankLuntz) September 6, 2019

Yep! Hillary tweeted this before she lost:

Donald Trump refused to say that he’d respect the results of this election. That’s a direct threat to our democracy. — Hillary Clinton (@HillaryClinton) October 24, 2016

And Stacey Abrams said this before Clinton lost:

Trump's refusal to concede the election if he loses proves he is a petty man uninterested in our national stability https://t.co/V1alhxLKmn — Stacey Abrams (@staceyabrams) October 20, 2016

But Beto O’Rourke can keep spouting his BS while the media turns a blind eye.

Well that’s a lie. — EducatëdHillbilly™ (@RobProvince) September 6, 2019

Add Beto to the list of 2020 Democratic presidential candidates spreading the conspiracy theory that voter suppression cost Abrams the election. https://t.co/vOkPjPHNdm — Jay Caruso (@JayCaruso) September 6, 2019

Another delusion with no basis in facts now enshrined as part of the Left's promise to "fix" things that don't give them the power they want https://t.co/lLqlp7Ry9o — Jim Hanson (@Uncle_Jimbo) September 6, 2019

This guy has nothing to gain by telling the truth, so why bother? https://t.co/38YwNFhfZm — "Fredo" is racist toward Italians who are dumb (@jtLOL) September 6, 2019

Still not convinced Beto O'Rourke isn't a long-running parody of leftism in America… — TFN (@TruthFeedNews) September 6, 2019

Robert Francis O'Rourke is lying, as usual There was no voter suppression in Georgia, they had record turnout for the election and Abrams lost by nearly 55,000 votes https://t.co/bsjGV3A1Ri — Ryan Saavedra (@RealSaavedra) September 6, 2019

Abrams herself has mentioned the record turnout, but “voter suppression” remains the narrative while the media mostly yawns.
