On Wednesday, Democratic National Committee chairman Tom Perez appeared on MSNBC and accused President Donald Trump of trying “steal the election” by opposing vote-by-mail ballots.
Really? Because Trump opposes the easiest way for Democrats to cheat and dishonestly change the outcome of the election, he's trying to "steal" it?? No. He wants it to be fair, just like most of America.
MSNBC host Chris Hayes began, “For more on the president’s efforts to subvert the democratic process, I’m joined by the chair of the Democratic National Committee. I’m always conflicted about, you know, stories of the variety the president tweeted. He tweets a lot of things and most of it is nonsense or lies or liable or slander or whatever. But the way he attacked absentee voting today struck me as genuinely dangerous and genuinely sort of threatening to democracy."
"How high on the priority list is it for you to do what you can to the safeguard administration of free and fair elections this fall?”' Hayes asked.
Perez responded, “It’s the highest priority, Chris because we know that you’re going to see voter suppression on steroids in the months ahead. We had a conversation I know about the election in Wisconsin recently where they tried to weaponize the pandemic to suppress the vote and steal the state supreme court race. It failed miserably. That’s what you’re going to see.”
Hayes continued, “I want to play for you something the president just said about voting, which struck me as deeply pernicious, this sort of voting is an honor and going off about how he doesn’t want people mail-in voting. Take a listen.”
In the clip, Trump said, “Common sense would tell you it’s massive manipulation can take place, massive. They — and you do —you have cases of fraudulent ballots where they actually print them and give them to people to sign, maybe the same person signs them with different writing, different pens. I don’t know. A lot of things can happen. If you can, you should go and vote. Voting is an honor. It shouldn’t be something where they send you a pile of stuff, and you send it back.”
“Voting isn’t simply an honor, Chris, voting is a fundamental right." Perez replied, "People pay the ultimate price to exercise the right to vote. And in a pandemic, the notion that you have a president going after Republican and Democratic secretaries of state in the middle of a pandemic, Secretary Benson is trying to make it easier for eligible people to exercise their right to vote. She’s trying to allow them to exercise the choice that the Michigan Constitution provides them.”
“What we have to do between now and November is make sure that every single voter in every single state has a choice. The choice to vote on election day," he added. "So the choice to early vote, the more days of early voting, the more social distancing you do and the right to vote absentee with no excuse, the right to vote by mail."
Perez concluded, "Republicans and Democrats agree on that. This president, in a desperate effort to steal an election, is going to stop at nothing.”
