Former President Donald Trump is facing fierce criticism from both sides after he proposed to repeal parts of the Constitution over alleged fraud in the 2020 election.
“Massive fraud of this type and size justifies the repeal of all rules, regulations and sections, even those contained in the constitution,” he wrote on his social web platform Truth Social.
– Our magnificent constitutional fathers did not want and would not support false and fraudulent elections, he continued.
Hakeem Jeffries, elected House Minority Leader, called the statement extravagant and extreme and said Republicans must decide whether to continue to support Trump’s anti-democratic views.
Several Republicans also condemned the statement. Congressman Mike Turner took a scathing stand against the statement and said it should be a factor when the party chooses who the party’s candidate will be in the 2024 election.
The White House has joined the condemnation.
– The American Constitution is a sacred document that has been a guarantee of freedom and the rule of law in our country for over 200 years. To attack the constitution and what it stands for is to curse the soul of our nation, says spokesman Andrew Bates.
