Democrats reject Trump’s call for the “end” of the constitution

• Trump repeated his bogus claim that he won the 2020 presidential election in a post on his social network Truth on Saturday.
• Additionally, he claimed that Democrats and “Big Tech Companies” were conspiring to harm him.
• Due to a company policy on hacked and stolen materials, Twitter initially blocked the story.

Donald Trump, a past president, was denounced by the White House for calling for the “termination” of the US constitution. Mr. Trump repeated his bogus claim that he won the 2020 presidential election in a post on his social network Truth on Saturday.

Additionally, he claimed that Democrats and “Big Tech Companies” were conspiring to harm him.

Trump’s remarks, according to White House spokesman Andrew Bates, are “anathema to the soul of our nation.”

“You cannot only love America when you win,” Mr. Bates said in a statement.

In what appears to be a swipe at senior Republicans who have so far refrained from criticizing the former president’s outburst, he added that Mr. Trump’s remarks should be “universally denounced.”

Rep. Eric Swalwell, among other prominent Democrats, questioned how Republicans could continue to refer to themselves as “Constitutional conservatives” if they didn’t denounce the remarks.

In his post, Mr. Trump made nebulous claims of “massive & pervasive fraud and deception” and questioned if he should take office again right away.

“A Massive Fraud of this type and magnitude allows for the termination of all rules, regulations, and articles, even those found in the Constitution. Our great ‘Founders’ did not want, and would not condone, False & Fraudulent Elections!” he said.

A few hours prior to the publication of the post, Twitter’s internal discussions over restricting a 2020 piece about Hunter Biden were made public.

The New York Post broke the story, which exposed President Joe Biden’s youngest son’s turbulent personal and professional life only weeks before the 2020 presidential election.

Due to a company policy on hacked and stolen materials, Twitter initially blocked the story. The leaked emails showed confusion and disagreements among staff as they rushed to respond.

However, Elon Musk, the owner of Twitter, gave a hint last week that he would make the information public by writing on the social media site, “This is necessary to restore public trust.”

The billionaire acknowledged there may be a “legal risk” to his decision, but he defended it in Twitter spaces live stream on Saturday.

“We’re just going to put all the information out there and try to get a clean slate,” Mr. Musk said. He added that legal risks were “less of a concern than just clearing the air and making sure that people know what really happened”.

Last month, Mr. Trump declared his third run for president. He continues to be the favorite to win the Republican nomination in 2024.

However, he has come under fire this week after having dinner at his Florida home with a known white nationalist and Holocaust denier.

According to Mr. Trump, he had accompanied the rapper Kanye West, who earlier this week expressed admiration for Adolf Hitler and has been charged with making a number of anti-Semitic remarks, and he had no idea the man would be there.
