The new Talking Point is to redefine "election denier." Time and time again we see propaganda among the regressive regime media.
The term "election denier" has taken on a particular meaning, however, after Trump's failed re-election campaign. The phrase has come to be associated with Republicans who claim the 2020 election was stolen from Trump, assert without evidence there was fraud in 2020 voting, and cast doubt on secure voting systemsclaims that lead to the deadly January 6, 2021 riot at the U.S. Capitol.
Calling Jeffries an "election denier' is misleading and conflates different issues. "Casting unfounded doubt on the outcome of an election is irresponsible when either party does it," says Rachel Orey, associate director of the Elections Project at the Bipartisan Policy Center, a nonpartisan Washington think tank. "But I think it's important to remember that the culture around elections was quite different before 2020."
