history. i think this is an incredibly concerning -- i do think this is a weaponization of post-election speech. and i have to say, all of the people who claim that the 2016 election wasn't legitimate, all of the people who claimed in 2004 with a formal objection in the congress that that election wasn't legitimate. in fact, they objected to the point where they said that the voting machines in ohio were tampered with and that president bush was selected, not elected, and not to mention former presidents of the united states and secretary of state, hilary clinton, jimmy carter, and a whole slew of house democrats who repeatedly led the nation to believe, lied to the nation that they said russia selected donald trump as president, that the election was completely illegitimate, all of that was allowed to pass, but yet once again we see a criminalization
