Trump Dodges the Debate He Proposed After
His Phony Challenge Was Accepted.
Trump continues to whine petulantly while pressing his delusional assertions of voter fraud.
Never mind that after over a year later he has still never been able to produce a shred of evidence of his charges.
Had he done so he wouldn't have_
lost more than sixty court cases that he filed,
hoping in vain to overturn the election he lost decisively.
Trump's tweet (posted by his Twitter ban defying spokes-person) boldly dared any comers to step forward to face off with him on the subject of
"voter irregularities and fraud on a massive and determinative scale."
And he explicitly called out the "members of the highly partisan Unselect Committee of Democrats."
However, if Trump were really interested in engaging the members of the bipartisan House Select Committee investigating the January 6th insurrection, he could simply volunteer to testify before it under oath.
He could bring his alleged "evidence" with him
and present it to the Committee on live television.
He followed up his Sunday tweet on Tuesday with one that said...
“It’s really interesting, everybody wants me on television, I get the highest ratings by far, they need ratings to survive, and yet I put out a challenge to debate me about the massive election fraud, which took place in the 2020 Presidential Election, and there are no takers
think of it, zero takers for the so-called 'ratings machine.' The reason is, they know they can’t win.
All I have to do is lay out the facts—they are irrefutable. I’ve supposedly won all my political debates, but this would be the easiest of them all! Swing state by swing state, they get decimated.
This is the Hoax and the Scam and the Crime of the Century. Just remember, no takers!”
Trump is babbling about "laying out the facts,"
which he could do at any time if he actually had any.
And he could do it without the reality TV trappings
of a debate.
But the most ludicrous of his assertions in this tweet is his claim there are "zero takers" for his debate challenge.
There are takers, including Marc Elias, the attorney who argued and won most of the election cases that Trump or his minions filed.
And there is Judd legum, a journalist who has covered Trump throughout his presidency.
And there is also Hal Sparks, a noted political humorist.
And there are many others who answered the call
on Twitter.
The truth is he never had any intention of showing
up for the debate. Or he could do what he's doing -
just pretend that no one replied.
Trump avoids any interview that isn't conducted by
a bona fide Trump-fluffer.
He confines himself to safe spaces like Fox News,
where he fields softballs and is never challenged.
