Trump budget nominee tells senators 2020 election was 'rigged'

Trump budget nominee tells senators 2020 election was ‘rigged’ (The Hill)

Russell Vought, President Trump’s pick to head the White House budget office, told senators in his confirmation questionnaire that he believes the 2020 presidential election was “rigged.”

Asked by Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.) in written questions for the record whether former President Biden won the 2020 election, Vought responded, “I believe that the 2020 election was rigged.”

A copy of his written answers was obtained by The Hill.

Vought’s assertion that Biden only won by means of fraud will spark more fireworks over his nomination, which the Senate Budget Committee will consider Thursday.

But he can't prove it. Because it's a lie. There is no evidence. Just lies (R).
