here’s what i said, and im being exactly accurate…a small number of congressional democrats used made-up claims about election fraud in certain states, in an attempt to steal trump’s win in 2016. Biden, to his credit, told them to knock it off. Some of those congressional
democrats are still in office. They lied about election fraud in the hope of stealing the election. They never had a sliver of a chance if succeeding, but they tried.

There’s not one syllable of that, which is false.

And it’s all ok with you, but sedition of the gop does it.

Just because Jesus and Adolf Hitler both had mustaches, they are not the same.

False equivalence is by definition not inaccurate, two things can be true but not equal.

If you think that the Trumplican conspiracy to overturn the election is equivalent to statements of citizens, elected or not, well as I said before you grunt out whatever buzzword flotsam sluiced into your wet brain from the Fox effluvium pipe.

your problem, is that i specifically said the two events were different. but they were both examples of each party trying to steal
an election they lost

You’re only opposed to that, when the GOP does it.
