Electoral system based on the constant drumbeat that you get out of republican leadership, that we had a flawed election. no. the 2020 election was one of the best, one of the safest, one of the most well-monitored elections that weve ever had. but we still have some young men and women who have bought that stop the steal mantra that we get. so weve just got to -- weve just got to message better. weve got to fight the stop the steal messaging that is ongoing. and we can stop -- we can start it b...

The 2020 election was one of the best, one of the safest, one of the most well-monitored elections that weve ever had. but we still have some young men and women who have bought that stop the steal mantra that we get. so weve just got to -- weve just got to message better. weve got to fight the stop the steal messaging that is ongoing. and we can stop -- we can start it by stopping fox news on any military installation. that is -- that is anathema. the messaging tool these guys are using to get ...

Saying maybe the wuhan theory with some caveats that has merit or maybe it should be seriously looked at and you dont want to seem like youre aligning yourself with donald trump who nicknames this virus something racist and so i think he conflated the bioweapon theory with the lab accident theory if you will. and i think at the end of the day people just didnt want to see maligned with the man who told everyone on tv to inject bleach. and when you say in fact -- >> the information stream was so ...
